Due to the pandemic, my usual Huel Black was out-of-stock to ship to Japan, and I was looking for an alternative. While researching online, I came across Ambronite and while I debated going with the meal replacement, in the end I went with the protein based on my current needs the price point being closer to the Huel Black.
First off, let me talk about the good points. The shipping was quick and easy to track along the way. As far as the product itself, I have it at lunch and it does an amazing job of filling me up and keeping me full all afternoon. I would argue even better than the Huel does at getting rid of any feeling of hunger. Also, I really like the fact it doesn't leave me feeling bloated at all, which was a nagging issue with Huel even after I'd been using it for over a year.
On the flip side, coming from Huel, the Ambronite feels a little gritty and watery in comparison. With Huel, the shake would thicken in the refrigerator and felt much more satisfying as a meal replacement. When I drink the Ambronite, it really feels like a drink rather than a meal, but as I said above it still leaves me full all afternoon. This is even after I cut the water back from 300ml per scoop to 200ml.
The taste isn't bad by any means, but upon opening the package and smelling it the first time I was a little let down by the actual taste. It's not too sweet, which is great, but I would appreciate a bit stronger flavor.
I realize that the Ambronite protein is not an apples to apples comparison with the Huel Black. At the end of the day, I think I'll go with the Ambronite products and hopefully find something that fits my lifestyle needs as well as my palate.
