The number of servings in a Huel bag is a common question, and the answer depends on the specific Huel product. While the original Huel Powder and Black Edition bags contain 17 servings, other products like the Complete Protein have a different count. This guide breaks down the servings for each popular Huel format.
Huel Powder v3.1: 17 Servings per Bag
For the standard Huel Powder v3.1, a single bag contains 17 servings. A standard, nutritionally complete meal is defined as two level scoops, which is approximately 100 grams of powder. This provides a total of 400 calories. To confirm, check the product label for the number of 'servings per container'.
How many scoops is a serving of Huel Powder v3.1?
- One serving: 2 level scoops of Huel Powder v3.1, which is about 100g.
- Total calories: This serving provides 400 calories.
- Serving customization: While 2 scoops is the standard, users can adjust the serving size based on their personal calorie goals. For example, a half-serving of 1 scoop (50g) would provide 200 calories.
Huel Black Edition: Also 17 Servings per Bag
Similar to the standard powder, Huel Black Edition bags also contain 17 servings. However, due to its higher protein content and different density, the weight per serving is slightly less than the standard powder. A single serving of Black Edition is two scoops, which is approximately 90 grams and provides 400 calories.
Key differences in Black Edition servings
- Serving weight: 90 grams (2 scoops) for Black Edition versus 100 grams (2 scoops) for standard Powder v3.1.
- Calorie count: Both standard Black Edition and Powder v3.1 offer 400 calories per 2-scoop serving.
- Macronutrient profile: The main distinction is the higher protein and lower carb content in Black Edition, which influences the powder's density.
Huel Complete Protein: 26 Servings per Pouch
For those focused on higher protein intake, Huel's Complete Protein comes in a pouch with a different serving count and size. A single pouch provides 26 servings. Unlike the meal-replacement powders, Complete Protein is designed as a snack or protein boost, with a serving size of just one scoop.
A note on Huel Complete Protein
- Serving size: One level scoop, which is approximately 29 grams.
- Calories per serving: 110 calories.
- Purpose: This product is not intended to be a full meal replacement but rather a protein supplement.
Huel Hot & Savoury: 7 Servings per Pack
Huel Hot & Savoury offers savory meals in a powdered format. Each pack contains seven individual meal sachets, with each sachet representing one 400-calorie meal. A single serving weighs 95 grams.
How Hot & Savoury works
- Portioning: The pre-portioned sachets make measuring servings incredibly easy, eliminating the need for scoops.
- Meal size: Each sachet is designed to be a complete, satisfying meal at 400 kcal.
How to calculate your actual servings per bag
While Huel provides a standard serving size, your actual number of servings per bag can vary based on personal usage. To calculate your servings precisely, follow these steps:
- Determine your daily calorie target: Decide how many calories you plan to get from Huel each day. Are you having one shake for breakfast, or two shakes to replace lunch as well?
- Identify your product's calories per bag: A standard Huel bag contains around 7,000 calories (17 servings x 400 kcal).
- Divide total calories by your daily usage: If you consume two 400-calorie Huel meals per day (800 kcal total), a 17-serving bag will last you about 8.75 days (7,000 / 800).
- Use a kitchen scale for precision: For the most accurate measurement, especially if you customize your serving sizes, a simple kitchen scale is recommended over a scoop.
