No, Huel does not count as one of your 5-a-day under UK or EU guidelines.
Why not?
The 5-a-day recommendation refers specifically to whole fruits and vegetables, not processed or fortified foods — even if they contain similar nutrients.
What Huel does provide:
Although it doesn’t count toward your 5-a-day, Huel still delivers:
• All 26 essential vitamins and minerals
• Both soluble and insoluble fibre
• Phytonutrients, probiotics, and more
It’s a nutritionally complete option, but it’s still beneficial to include whole fruits and vegetables in your diet.
