Huel in Australia: What You Can Actually Buy Here
Can you buy Huel in Australia?
Huel is a UK brand that sells mainly into the UK, Europe and US. Huel does not ship their products to Australia.
The Huel customer forum says ~ 'Huel does not ship to Australia because strict biosecurity and import regulations cause international food parcels to be rejected, returned, or destroyed by customs'. link
If Huel products appear on Australian marketplaces or websites, these are unaffiliated third parties, so it pays to look closely before buying.
The best Huel alternative in Australia
QOTA has been making nutritionally complete meals in Melbourne since 2015 (we actually predate Huel's UK launch). A steady share of our customers arrive having used Huel overseas.
"When I relocated to Australia I was sad about Huel not being available here. I looked around, found Qota, ordered some to try it out — and it's so much better. It's much more soluble, tastes better, ships faster — just very good product."
"Was looking for an alternative to Huel in Australia. I tried a few and QOTA came out on top. Vegan, good price point, not overly complicated ingredients and nice basic flavour. Exactly what I was looking for."
"I've just moved to Australia from the UK where I've used Huel for years so that's my comparison… the Chocolate flavour is pretty tasteless in comparison to Huel. I never drank Huel for the flavour, I drank it for the time-saving and convenience, so me finding Qota blander doesn't really matter."
The best way to start is our QOTA Starter Bundle: eight meals and a shaker for $40.
If you used Huel Hot & Savoury
Apart from QOTA, nobody else in Australia makes a nutritionally complete hot meal. QOTA does — Moroccan Cous Cous, ready in five minutes.
"Better than Huel Hot and Savory. Definitely my favourite meal replacement option right now."
"First decent alternative to Huel Hot and Savoury that I've found in Australia. Delicious — hope that more flavours will be added!"
