It should also be noted that you should use "Harina P.A.N." Brand Masa Harina because the "Mascea" Masa Harina isn't enriched with enough Iron to cover your DV

nvm apparently milk is a source of phosphorus.

I've been looking at mixing up a DIY soylent project for about a week now and I've decided to use this recipe as a base. I've made a few changes that some people might find helpful. I've reduced the Masa Harina to 275g and the soybean oil to 40g Hovever,…

If you click on the "Recipe Editor" tab you can see how many days each ingredient will last. You can find cheaper bulk ingredients elsewhere though, if you do some searching.

Finally got around to making this yesterday evening. It's quite gritty - the masa harina settles so you need to shake it a lot. I opted for the smaller shaker bottles so my drinks tend to be extra thick but I'm okay with that. All in all, I'm quite happy…

You're well over the % reccomended on certain vitamins right?

This is why I wont be buying the official Soylent 1.0. If they come out with 2.0 that has no artificial flavors and such, I'd definitely get it.

This profile (and the other U.S. government DRIs) should be based off of this calculator. http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/fnic/interactiveDRI/

It's probably the masa you are tasting. It's a significant portion of the recipe by volume and it tastes like corn tortilla which is not a flavor most people would think of drinking. You also may not like the oils so try tasting those separately. I've…

omg whoever tagged this as "tasty" should be shot. It tastes like ass. I have been on PeopleChow for 2 weeks prior to trying this and its taste is 300% more palatable. Last night I blendered the ingredients then put it in the fridge overnight. I…

I just mixed my first day of this yesterday using coconut oil, and surprisingly, the oil didn’t solidify during refrigeration, probably due to blending.

http://bulkfoods.com is a really good source for a lot of these ingredients in bulk. Cheap too!

THIS IS *NOT* VEGAN! Just a note to those vegans. The Vitamin D3 softgels that you link to, by "NOW Foods" is in the form of cholecalciferol, is sourced from lanolin, which is NOT vegan.

I've been drinking this several days now and I really like it. If I were to click the button buy from Amazon I can't figure out how many days that would make. I'm just trying to figure out if the savings difference would be worth it or just to keep ordering…

Hi, can I talk to you for example in facebook on how&where you got indigents? Thanks in advance

Those chia seeds are great

Where did you get the detailed specs for Redis supplements? I want to add some in my recipe, but couldn't find much info on their website :)

Just noticed you got the price wrong for 5kgs of soy protein isolate. it's $79 not $51, just an fyi.

Hey man, I think this is the cheapest nutritionally complete recipe that there is. Well done! A few questions: - Hows the taste? - What coffee grinder do you use? - What kind of scale do you use to measure the powders - How do you exactly measure…

This is a hybrid recipe, a shake powder, a handful of almonds and dried cherries - a favorite snack an apple a bowl of oatmeal and a serving of either brown rice or quinoa - these can easily be added to the shake Oh and some supplements.

I'm glad you like it! I tried using oat flour but I couldn't handle the grit. Chewing the rolled oats is a pleasure for me. It really feels like a food... and a drink... in one. This is the recipe I eat everyday, and I love it! When it starts getting…

Perhaps other aussies on here can work together to create a primarily Bulk nutrients stack for ease of preparation?

Can't add from USDA database? This used to work.

I have been on liquid cake since sometime in May. I'd say it makes up about 80-85% of my food consumption. I cycle through four flavours to keep some variety, often I find all of them but chocolate too sweet but just deal with it. I have dropped 15lbs…

I just use an empty Muscle Milk container and a kitchen scale (a large mixing bowl works fine until you have gone through your first container of Muscle Milk). Using a liquid measuring cup works well. Just place the cup on the kitchen scale and zero…

Thanks for trying it out! Sorry I haven't been on the site in a while to answer your questions. I typically leave the product as a dry power and use 2/3 of a cup (I just use the muscle milk scoop) in a blender bottle. The powder tends to clump, so…

Where are you storing you mix and what is the average tempurature? Are you mixing oil or any other liquid in with it while it is stored? How long has the rancid ones been there maximum? a week? The dry powder should last quite a while, i imagine with…

I enjoy the recipe. Flavor is not as good as soylent brand itself, however adding some coco powder and a tad of sugar(would recommend looking into 100% pure stevia) really makes it a whole lot better. I also add a drop of vanilla extract once i've mixed…

Has anyone had issues with their powder going rancid? I do not eat PC 3.0.1 for every meal of the day, however i do use it for lunch and breakfast. I've noticed mixing batches for a week, and storing them in ziplock bags for the day seems to make it…

Kurz der Vermerk: Es fehlen nurnoch die Pakete mit Bitartrat und das Abtei A-Z. Sollten in den nächsten 3-4 Tagen (hoffentlich...) ankommen. Ansonsten ist alles von den wichtigen Sachen da, es kommen noch ein paar Hilfsmittel.

There's no measurement for the banana and rice flour?

No, have you tried it? Always open to new ways to drink it that dont taste like batter.

Wheat doesnt really taste good raw. This recipe originally used oat to mimic Soylent. Oat gives people gas so Max tried different carbs and settled on Masa. It had good fiber and a good nutritional profile. and it doesnt seem to cause gas. This is one…

are they not the same thing? Cornmeal - no Cornstarch - no Corn flour = masa Yes Masa is made from hominy. Hominy is made by "nixtilization". They soak the corn in stuff which make sit healthier and easier to digest. Then it is dried and ground in…

's ok. They actually tried to deliver yesterday, but office closed - I should get it tomorrow. Glad you're feeling better (you are, right?) So, if you sent me the "new" version of Schmoylent Clean, is that http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/schmoylent-clean-vanilla?

you cacao stats say 46kcal in the recipe editor and then when i CLICK the cacao listing in the recipe editor it says 226 kcal, it does this for many of the ingredients... what do?

Hi there. Saw you made a variant of my recipe. I dropped the Sodium to 3g because it tastes slightly salty in my opinion. I found that some of the other ingredients had chloride in it. I think MML has enough salt in it that you could probably drop…

Cool man! ~(°=°)~

Can I use corn flour instead of masa

All right, thanks for the info.

After finally getting PeopleChow right, I tried adding a tablespoon of lime juice to a meal's worth and it was awesome. Then I tried adding a tablespoon of sour orange juice and it was even better. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Badia-Sour-Orange-Naranja-Agria-20-fl-oz/10311803

Canola oil does not lack Vitamin K. http://www.canolainfo.org/news/latest_news.php?detail=28 http://www.ptinr.com/warfarin-you/dietary-food-beverage/food-interactions/cooking-oils-and-vitamin-k

Classic Internet CancerPasta, Canola oil is NOT a poison http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/canola.asp

I just contacted them to let them know that a demand for their bulk protein powder exists beyond manufacturers. If enough people express an interest in buying it, they may decide to sell it to consumers.

I respect your research, you have some real analytical stamina and that's amazing! I'm wondering what precautions I should take when choosing food (vaguely measured nutrient dense grass fed ground beef) over soylent in the same day as soylent. If I…

QuidNYC, I want to thank you for all the work you have done on the superfood recipes and for sharing all your thoughts with us. I wanted to ask about your dislike of canola oil. I certainly agree you don't want high heat in refining or hexane, but they…

Yes, it can, it along with the multidophilus are just for something I wanted to include.

I'm the same, prefer no soy and coconut oil. Although I haven't yet found a protein without soy lecithin that I like, so oh well, it's a trade. But you can always sub your own. I have slightly different limits for my plan (adjusted for my body). This…

I agree! I've been working on a maltodextrin-free recipe, using rice flour instead. Check it out: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/schmoylent-clean-vanilla

A friend tried this recipe and loved it. Just curious how 1g potassium citrate provides 3.12g potassium?

Maltodextrin is evil stuff. Any chance of a substitute for this? It looks like it's only needed for the carbs and calories.

This comment is for visibility.

This has been a rather fascinating experience. This is my first day completely soylent free for nearly a week. It's actually a surprisingly unpleasant experience. I'm currently in the South of the US and I have a dairy allergy which has made finding food…

Thanks for the links. The copper in John Fuel (mostly from cocoa powder) is almost 2mg per day, and the USDA maximum is 10mg per day. According to the Wikipedia article you linked to, "The suggested safe level of copper in drinking water for humans varies…

6-8 cups of water per day is a good general guideline for most of these recipes. You don't have to blend the chia seeds (I don't) but some people prefer to.

Looking through some of the other comments, regarding iron there seems to be a big difference between enriched and non-enriched masa. Hopefully you can find some enriched masa, or some other way to supplement the iron.

So, if I mix up a day's worth, any recommendations on how much water to use / blending tips? I've read elsewhere to blend until the chia seeds are fully blended?

Oh, okay. Dann habe ich jetzt ein "Problem", da ich schon bestellt habe :) Naja, muss ich halt das Rezept nochmal ein bisschen umstellen, sodass ich dann doch weniger Kartoffelmehl drinhabe. Wird schon schiefgehen :)

Ive read that you should order the Choline and Inostal separate. I wasn't able to find the blend listed on this recipe. Any suggestions?

I've grown tired of waiting for my Soylent delivery and am looking to venture into the DIY territory. I'm interested in this recipe but don't believe in paying a premium for 'organic' anything. With the Coconut Flour, Cinnamon Powder, Raw Cacao, nutritionally,…

Dextroseeq <-> GI , naja das hätte ich versucht in meinem letzen Posting zu erklären ;). Vielleicht nochmal verständlicher: das DE sagt dir wie schnell oder langsam die energieaufnahme erfolgt. DE hoch: schneller blutzuckeranstieg auf höheren wert,…

thanks for wasting my time!

Did you try adding flavor such as: sugar, cinnamon, stevia, vanilla, pure maple syrup, pumpkin spice. I dont like the flavor either. Try experimenting with a mix of carbs. Masa is used because oat flour cause gas for some. I use a mix of masa and…

your carbs are 400% higher that your nutrient profil not ideal to loss weight

I am using this right now, and while it mixes very well and comes out very smooth, the overall flavor of the drink is awful, so bad I can't stomach it. I also tried the lime treated stuff for tamales, and it was somewhat less awful in flavor but absurdly…

Whelp day 4 and I've learned some pretty valuable things so far: I also made a 3 day batch last night, though regreting it after discovering some of the things I did. First things up what I've discovered so far: 1) my Iron intake from the mix is WAYYYY…

Hey I'm worried about the copper 234% that sounds like toxicity levels to me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_toxicity) and the sulfur levels (254%) are worrying too. Also have you thought about using Guar Gum instead of Xantham Gum? It's cheaper…

I'm using a (slightly) modified version of this for a 30 day soylent diet. I've increased the protein and decreased the carbs a little. I'm finding it a little bitter so later I might decrease the cocoa powder and add another source for the iron and fiber…

Your last update was 5 days ago. How are things going? I'm thinking about trying your recipe out due to the lower upfront and overall costs. How are you feeling and how is the taste? Thank you!

Danke nochmal für die Info. Jetzt machen die ganzen Aussagen deutlich mehr Sinn. Interessant, dass mich jetzt erst deine Nennung vom Wort Integral drauf gebracht hat (bei Wikipedia habe ich das wohl schlichtweg überlesen und bin durch Fläche nicht auf…

Is het nog gelukt? :)

Nachtrag noch zum GI: 105 ist natürlich relativ viel. Der GI sagt aber nichts über den Insulin-Peak aus, da er das Integral über den Anstieg des Insulins über der Zeit ist (Also die Fläche unter der Insulin Kurve, bei zb. Maltodextrin-6 sollte der Insulin-Peak…

Danke schonmal, auch wenn ich es jetzt (hoffentlich?) über Kartoffelmehl gelöst habe. Ich hatte eigentlich die Hoffnung, dass du eventuell Informationen zum Dextroseäquivalent in Bezug auf den GI hast, da es an vielen Stellen (Meines Verständnisses…

Hi, lt. dieser Tabelle: http://gesuender-abnehmen.com/abnehmen/glyxindex.html 105.

I've spent up to two weeks on this recipe consuming about 2/3 of the total batch for breakfast and lunch, but not in distinct, separate meals (drink when hungry). Have felt better energy-wise when keeping on this recipe regularly, at least once a day.…

Sorry Brad, figured it out. Cheers

Hi Brad, Firstly thank you. I am looking forward to getting all this together and tasting. Have the sunflower seeds been removed or is this an error. Thank you in advance

Hey mate, quick question. The recipe has Red Island Extra Virgin Olive Oil listed as an ingredient, but doesn't use it. Is this correct?

Okay. Mir wurde der Tipp gegeben, nicht nur so kurzkettige Kohlehydrate zu nutzen, weshalb ich noch das Kartoffelmehl mit hineingenommen habe. Ich hoffe, dass das funktioniert :)

Okay. Die Zutaten habe ich soeben bestellt. Emotional bin ich derzeit zwiegespalten, da es ja doch schon recht viel auf einen Schlag war (wobei es sich finanziell langfristig schon rechnet. Langfristig.. Ist ein wirklicher Schuss ins Blaue). Auf der…

I've seen some posts in here where people have been getting a particular kind of Maseca (Tamal) from Wal-Mart and have said that it's much better than the regular one. Since both versions list the only ingredient as "selected corn treated with lime",…

Day 3, confirmed through some experimentation that definitely need to incorporate potassium. Will need to just start with a very low dose and increase over time to find the right balance. Also there seems to be something missing thats usually in meat.…

I'm still behind on orders after being sick for a week, sorry. :/

for a month?

Slt ta recette depasse le taux max de vitamin B3 as tu eu des effets indésirable problème digestif, vomissement, peau qui pèle. Fais gaffe à parement ça peut endomager les cellules du foie

I intend to tinker with this recipe to fit what I have at my disposal, so I have to ask ... why do so many recipes use corn flour? Is this a flavor choice or is there any particular nutritional benefit to using corn flour instead of wheat flour?

tabort VETE MJÖLET, DU KAN BLI ALVARLIGT SJUK UTAN ATT BEHANDLS DET.

Jag recomenderar di att ta bort vete mjölet med omedelbar verkan då det är väldigt dåligt att äta det utan att värme behandla det

IMO, one problem with this is the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3. It might be good to add a fish or krill oil supplement.

I recommend buying from Bulk Powder in bulk, as in buying their LARGEST single quantity, while a bit more to put away you'll save so much money in the long run. From the top of my head the saving would be £1.84 PER DAY. Over the course of year that's…

well you haven't aded all of the recommendations

Also discovered I was SUBSTANTIALLY under the required amount of fat/oil in my diet. Modified olive oil up to match daily intake. May switch over to canola to minimize flavor.

Note to Self, Track down Choline supplement. Add Calcium to next batch. Consider adding Vitamin D to the batch.

Just putting comments here for managing my own records/experiences as I try a number of iterations on this. My initial recipes have been very loosely based off from https://diy.soylent.me/recipes/schmoylent and https://diy.soylent.me/recipes/js-soy-schmoylent…

I am thinking of making a trial batch or two of this in the next week. Have you had any other modifications to the recipe? What's the normal amount you are consuming, one two or three times a day? Have you tried it on a regular schedule or are you only…
