At Huel, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do and we want to ensure that all of our products are not only nutritious and affordable but also good for the planet.
By using plant-based proteins, we’re always going to have a lower carbon footprint than alternatives that use whey or other animal-derived proteins. Plants also need less land and water to grow, helping to minimise the impact on animals.
As well as this we have paid extra special attention to the proteins we’ve used. Yellow peas and faba beans fix nitrogen which is vital for plants and often needs to be artificially added to soils to help plant growth. Hemp is naturally pest-resistant and so requires little or no pesticide use.
These proteins may be slightly more expensive than alternatives, but we pride ourselves on nutrition and quality so it was a no-brainer for us.
