Cookies and Cream

I am generally okay with most of the flavors but I have to say something about this new one. To me it tastes like carrots and dirt with an aftertaste of burnt wood. Have you tried it? Is there any way to improve this flavor?

You've eaten dirt and burnt wood before?!

Once, during a trip to the UK.

Good point. The UK isn’t exactly known as a culinary strong house.

I was only kidding. I love a lot of British food. Scotch eggs, cottage pie, chipolatas, beans on toast, and especially McVities' Club.

I dont like it at all.

I was so excited because I usually love Cookies and Cream products. But the flavor is bad.

Thank you. I was very excited too. This is not cookies and cream.

I have tried it and I love it. Tastes like Oreos to me. But of course everyone's taste is different.

I’m getting my first order this week and I hope to God it tastes like Oreos lol

Tastes like an Oreo milkshake to me

Tastes like an Oreo Huel to me if the Oreo had 50% less cream. So roughly a 80/20 chocolate to crème ratio

edit: just made myself a Huel shake with one scoop C&C and PB. Tastes like a snickers (as long as you have honest expectations of what Huel tastes like)

Interesting! I should experiment more. I was down to a scoop of Strawberry shortcake and a scoop of Cinnamon roll last week so I mixed them for S&Gs. It was not good.

Still waiting on peanut butter to be available in the UK.

To me it tastes nothing like an Oreo milkshake but more like what chocolate should have been. Mixing one scoop of c&c with one scoop of salted caramel white and I like it, more than any huel I had before

I'll avoid that one, good to know.. I just got my first two bags of powder v3. Chocolate and Peanut butter. Mixed the PB with hint of honey almond milk and besides some clumps, I'm loving it.

barcherOP•

Don't take my word for it! As u/redjack63 wisely said, "everyone's taste is different." You might just love it.

mjbel23•

You’re right, I saw the other replies lower saying they liked it. It’s objective, but what I have so far, I like. I Appreciate everyone’s opinions.

Remember to put water in first to avoid clumps

mjbel23•

I’ll do that thanks!

It’s a game changer, enjoy

I'll avoid that one, good to know.

Because of the opinion of one person?

Has anyone tried it with whole milk? Might be nicer and creamier

My first sip - I was surprised, not as sweet as I expected. I normal go to is coffee caramel and I think that's a little sweeter than it needs to be (for my taste).

By the time I got to the end of the glass, it had grown on me. Not exactly cookies and cream but there is definitely a hint of it. Overall not a bad flavour but definitely needs a bit of development to hit the flavour profile. I'll probably try mixing it with a few others.

RevQuixo•

I kind of agree...it has a very nasty aftertaste to it.

2

Agree, It’s disgusting.

I really like it. It's tastes like what I would expect from Cookies and Cream and it's one of my new favorites. Not sure if it's personal preference or there is a lot of variation from batch to batch.

barcherOP•

I'll try shaking the bag. I know that makes a big difference with H&S.

Something doesn't sound quite right here. Please can you send us an email with your order number so we can discuss this further please?

Damn, it's by far my favourite, I don't eat any of the others now. Although it had to be nice and cold

GinghamPrep•

I haven't tried it yet, only because I choose V3 instead of Black. But of all the new flavors, this is the one I want to try most despite hearing very mixed opinions of it!

dropspace•

I didnt like it at first but I put 1 scoop of Vanilla and 1 of Cookies and Cream together and it now tastes awesome to me. Something about those mixing together made it work.

One of my favorites. I really like it.

Another completely nonsense post on this sub. Dirt and burnt wood. Yeah - ok then.

Objectively though - taste starts off well but there's a pretty unpleasant after taste.

It's not nonsense to me. I've tried all the flavors and like them. This tastes just plain nasty.
