How to Use Adhuja

How to prepare the perfect Adhuja

+ Add 500ml cold water to your shaker then:
+ Add 2 level scoops of Adhuja Powder
+ Shake hard for 10 seconds

Once you’re happy, get creative! Our top tips:

• Add ice cubes, or even try chilling overnight
• Too thick? Add more water
• Too thin? Use less next time
• Customise your flavour with our Flavour Boosts
• Try milk instead of water for a creamier end result

What percentage of your diet will be Adhuja?

This is entirely up to you. Probably the most popular approach is to replace time-pressured weekday meals like breakfast and lunch, then sit down for a traditional meal in the evening. This gives you the best of both worlds.

But you can also use Huel as a snack, and make sure to check out our Adhuja Bars. 

Whatever you do, make sure to gradually build up your Adhuja intake. Your body needs time to adjust to change in your diet, so start with 1 Adhuja meal a day, and add 1 more every 3-5 days until you reach your ideal balance.

How to measure and weigh Adhuja

A scoop is provided in the box with your initial order, instead of inside every pouch, to cut down on waste. A level scoop of Adhuja holds roughly 50g which is about 200 calories.

If you want to weigh your Adhuja more accurately, we recommend using some simple kitchen scales. For example, add the water to your shaker, then place on the scales and zero them. Then add your Adhuja for a precise measurement.

See below our charts indicating the amount of calories in Adhuja by scoop and by weight to help you with your calculations:

Powder Hacks

Blend

Blending Adhuja can greatly improve the texture and consistency of Adhuja. If you want your Adhuja to be smoother and creamier, there's no better way to ensure this than using a blender.

Chill out

The temperature of your Adhuja can also affect its sweetness and texture. Adding ice, or leaving your Adhuja to chill in the fridge, can reduce the sweetness and improve the texture, according to some of our customers.

Flavour Boosts

We have developed a range of Flavour Boosts: Chocolate, Banana, Strawberry, Mocha, Mint Chocolate, Apple Cinnamon, Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter, Berry, Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla, and our limited-edition flavours, Chocolate Cherry and Gingerbread. These are designed to work with both Vanilla Adhuja and our Unflavoured & Unsweetened version.

Change your liquid

Replacing water with milk can also affect how thick and smooth your Adhuja is, and it can also make your Adhuja much creamier. However, with milk come more calories, so make sure you take these into account.

Mix your Adhuja

Mix Vanilla and Unflavoured & Unsweetened. The usual amount that is combined is 2 parts Vanilla to 1 part Unflavoured & Unsweetened. But you can mix as much or as little as you like, for example adding a little Vanilla Adhuja to slightly change the taste of Unflavoured & Unsweetened Adhuja.

Get cooking

Use Adhuja as flour. Of course Adhuja is 100% complete nutrition in itself, but it also works great as an ingredient for sweet and savoury recipes, bakes and more! Find out more about cooking with Adjhuja.

Consume or store

You can drink your Adhuja immediately, or if you prefer, you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If you want to have it on the go, you can keep it at room temperature for a couple of hours, or longer if you use a thermos flask. Your Adhuja may separate after a while, but don’t worry, this is completely normal. Just give it a nice shake to re-mix it and you’re good to go.

Clean

To avoid Adhuja setting in your shaker once you're done, we advise you to clean your bottle as soon as you can. If this isn't possible, leave some water in it to stop it drying out. It will make it easier to clean once you get a chance to wash up.
