The extra whey protein isolate contains enough calcium and magnesium that extra supplementation is not required.

Hey! I'm pretty new to the soy lent... movement?... Anyway, I am excited about it. This recipe looks pretty good as far as I can tell, for what I am looking for, but I am having a few issues. I was wondering if anyone could help me resolve them. 1)…

EDIT: You can make this recipe SO much cheaper by picking up some items at your local grocery store. The Masa was $2, the salt was <$1, the soybean oil was ~$2. Way cheaper than on Amazon.

About to order this recipe. The prices do fluctuate, my order total is $160. Any negative side affects if I take creatine with this recipe?

Hi there! Is it possible to make a custom DRI profile?

I'll second the odd feeling with MCT oil, but I assumed it was "ketoflu" mixed with the thermogenic effects of high MCT intake. From Wikipedia "Thermogenic means tending to produce heat, and the term is commonly applied to drugs which increase heat through…

I'm curious about that too. My very quick Google search didn't turn up much. Are many pesticides used on coconut trees? If not I'd guess it would be how the oil is extracted (chemical means or not). So there might be a bit of residue left on the flour.…

I've been taking a bit less than that to prevent muscle cramps (mostly leg) when I drink coffee. I read somewhere coffee messes with calcium distribution in your body.

Might be related to the laxative effects of some forms of Magnesium, like Mag. Citrate (Calm or Relax I think was the brand name...you mix with hot water) is very quickly effective if you take a big dose without working your way up :S.

Copying it here for convenience as I was searching for it anyway... "metamer6 -- You're correct to note there is a discrepancy with the Now Foods label. After the research I've done on the nutritional content of various ingredients (and on the composition…

For question #3 you could add in DaVinci syrup. They make a sugar free caramel which goes well with chocolate flavors (I haven't tried this recipe yet, so I can't speak about it specifically), it ends up having a slighly Snickers taste to it.

I decreased the Vitamin B-6 max, increased the Vitamin D max and decreased the Iron max.

Cool. Danke für die Tips soweit. Die Amazon-Produkte brauchen noch ein Weile, bis sie hier sind. Bis dahin sollte ich auch noch eine gescheite Waage besorgt haben. Momentan habe ich sowas hier im Auge http://amzn.to/1qBa28t aber die Wiegefläche ist…

Darf ich fragen wie du 0.04g des Kelp Pulvers abwiegst? selbst mit einer 0.01g Waage würdest du da ziemliche Schwankungen drin haben.

Hi, you didn't acount for the amount of citrate in calcium citrate; calcium makes up only about 21% of calcium citrate.

Hi, how have you managed to get this recipe similar to your phill fuel with two less ingredients? Thanks.

I also am transitioning from a diet that was not good to begin with. Barely any vegetables and meat.

Hallo Stefan, hast du den Plan von vor 2 Tagen noch wo gespeichert? Der mit Maltodextrin und nicht mit Maismehl? Fand den ganz interessant. Wär klasse wenn du antworten würdest. Grüße Lennart

I have been eating this variant for only a few days and yesterday I had a stretch of time where I wasn't able to make any. I got really hungry and went home and quickly prepared some by just adding water and oil. I think I must have had at least two meals…

okay so to improve the taste, I use 1/3 milk and 2/3 water for the liquid, then add 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream. (yeah yeah bad for you I know, it makes it drinkable for me and is still a huge improvement in my diet. as for the texture, I use about…

Hey Ben, very happy to hear you're giving the recipe a shot. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me! The short answer is: you have no need to worry about the Niacin at all, but if you'd really prefer tweaking things then I would advise leaving…

Hi, wenn es rein um den Geschmack geht, kannst du dir mal die FlavourArts Website ansehen. Das ist ein Aromastoff-Hersteller, der hat so ziemlich alle Geschmacksrichtungen die man sich vorstellen kann. Sie liefern auch über einen Onlineshop an Privatpersonen.…

This is the easiest recipe I've found so far, so I decided to give it a try. It isn't bad, but after adding some chocolate syrup, I found that the flavor was great! Excellent work, axcho.

thanks for the advice! I think maybe I rushed into things and cobbled together something close (i'm new to it all!). I will take your advice and sit down and work it out the values properly! I'll also look for a different recipe with less protein/whey…

Judging by the ingredients, I would say it likely tastes horrible. Anything with plain flour in a liquid form can't be good.

Also, using this corn flower will make this recipie 100% amazon-friendly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000IJYK4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3NTSZEDQ0ZV85

Has anyone tried this? What does it taste like? Seems like a clever mix. Hits all the marks.

Mixed up my first batch of this one. The taste is familiar, real familiar. When I was growing up in the south we would take day-old cornbread, real cornbread not the cake from the mix you get in the store. It was dry and hard and no one wanted it. We…

How long will this recipe last in dry storage after it is portioned?

Hi, Die Lieferungen von MyProtein sind immer beeindruckend, ja. Mein Liefermensch war nicht very amused damit in den 2. Stock laufen zu müssen. :) Mir geht es nach wie vor hervorragend. Mir fehlt es an nichts, ich habe keinen Hunger und mit der Mischung…

How often do you have to buy Optimum Gold, Potassium Gluconate and Kirkland pills? Do you buy them in bulk or something to lower the prices?

Update: Habe gestern einen günstigen, leistungsfähigen Mixer bestellt http://www.amazon.de/Profi-Cook-PC-UM-1006-Universalmixer/dp/B005JB7GJI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top und werde kommende Woche den Shake mal darin zubereiten PLUS einem Stück Obst nach Wahl…

Going to get the final ingredients for this tonight. The GNC Mega Men pack is shockingly expensive -- looking at the nutrients it supplies it looks like one could get away with using only half a pill per day (or one every other day) and you'd only be…

Can anyone tell me if there's any reason why men should defer from this recipe? I only ask because I've heard that soy products contain large amounts of estrogen and because of the presence of the "Opti-Women". Is this recipe safe for men? Should I expect…

Update: Wenig zufriedenstellende Rückmeldung des Herstellers: "Mineralstoffe sind von Natur aus als bei Mengung enthalten und können wie bei allen Natuprodukten erheblichen Schwankungen unterliegen daher ist es nicht üblich die Mineralstoff Mengen auszuweisen."…

Mixed my 1st batch last night so it would rest all night in the fridge. I thoroughly blended my dry mix just like QuidNYC recommended. I even ground up my chia seeds in a coffee mill. This resulted in a very smooth and easy to drink concoction. Just…

Hi nochmal, DPD hat heute ne halbe Busladung Pakete von myProtein vorbei gebracht, ich bin also bald komplett. Wie ist´s bei Dir inzwischen? Und nehmen neben Dir auch noch andere an Deinen Tests teil? Grüße sharcy

Hallo Vinzent, da ich das Maismehl ja noch auf Vorrat hatte, habe ich nochmal unzählige Kobinationen bei mir zu Hause durchprobiert und es hat sich herausgestellt, dass nicht der Eigengeschmack des Maismehl das war, was mich geschmacklich am Rezept gestört…

I have created and taken this recipe consistently for the past three weeks and i absolutely love it. Overtime I have gotten a feel for how to prepare the recipe to create a uniform and satisfying texture and taste. I have also become accustomed to consistency…

On further inspection, this recipe is very high in niacin but it's concealed with a custom a nutrition profile. MackdaddyFever: are you okay with this?

This looks good. Not 100% complete but anyone eating a dinner of recreational food should be able to complete the omega-6, sodium and phosphorous quotas. I'll buy the additional ingredients required for this recipe (compared to People…

Lucky you. I still haven't received it after 7 weeks and currently trying to resolve this with fishpond. I'll have to order it from Amazon via shipto or similar redirection service.

Hallo Stefan, sehe ich das jetzt richtig, dass du das Maismehl wieder zu deinem Rezept hinzugefügt hast. Vielleicht kannst du deine Vorgehensweise erläutern. Ich denke wir werden die v1.1.1 [stable] jetzt am Wochenende bestellen. Es wäre nett, wenn…

Update: Mangan-Wert ist mit der aktuellen Rezept-Version leicht gesunken, auf 10.0

Hello kernowpig! I strongly advice to make a private copy of this recipe and then very carefully update the values of Protein and the Multivitamin!! It's better to be safe thank sorry. Don't just remove ingredients without knowing for sure what you are…

I can't use whey as it's dairy and I am allergic. Rice is indeed disgusting and soy I'm just not keen on. I would love to use more hemp protein but it's so expensive.

my two main issues are the corn taste need to be drowned down a little, and was really scratchy going down, is the flax seed whats making it scratchy? ima start tweaking it see if I can get a better taste

Pea protein is not a "complete" protein. see http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/proteins/incomplete-vs-complete-proteins.html#b I've got some pea protien tha I tried using along side some rice protien ( beause the 2 together make a "complete"…

I haven't gotten international shipping sorted out yet, but I can let you know when that becomes an option.

You're welcome, glad the measurements help! :)

The sulfur component is calculated from the mass of sulfur-containing amino acids (cystine and methionine) in the Nutribiotic brand of rice protein as reported here: http://www.nutribiotic.com/Rice-Protein.html

It would be for the animal-based form, but not for the plant-based form: http://bestnaturalfoods.com/newsletter/vitamin-a-too-much.html

are you adding those measurements to each serving or the whole days worth?

after looking at a lot of recipes I think i'm going to go with this one. No shipping I love that plus seems like it would get the job done just as good or close enough to any of those complicated recipes. im gunna go get supplies now and try it out ill…

Ok this is all good but how does it taste?

Hallo Stefan, Vielen Dank! Das mit dem Multimineral freut mich sehr. Bei Vitamin D&K bin ich auf ein anderes Produkt umgestiegen das ein Verhältnis hat welches besser ins Rezept passt, bei Cholin überlege ich auch noch auf ein lokal gekauftes Produkt…

Hi I was hoping someone could help me. I used Asda's 'Body Supreme Whey Protein Chocolate' instead of the listed whey. What worried me was on the label it states do no exceed the maximum 2 servings per day (2x 28g). So my question is - This recipe calls…

Glint, I ordered this recipe about a week ago and my last ingredient, the choline, is set to arrive today. I noticed that when you updated it July 1, 2014, the niacin went into the red. Would I be better off lowering the Masa Harina and reduce the carbs…

Just a note if you're making this in the US: I found out that Trader Joe's is selling organic coconut flour for $2.99 a pound in their baking aisle, which is like a third of the cost of what I can find anywhere else. Still can't beat $2.25 a pound delivered…

Meh, I feel like there's a qualitative grittiness due to the presence of the coconut flour that isn't increased quantitatively by having more of it. I'm actually now trying a version with no masa, 150 g of coconut flour, and that's fine for me. I am also…

Servus Lennart, danke für dein Interesse und das Posten deiner Bedenken! Der maximale Wert von Mangan im Rezept stellt den, den offiziellen Quellen entnommenen "Tolerable Upper Intake Level" für Erwachsene dar, welcher spezifiezeirt ist als "the highest…

Hallo Phil. meine Erinnerung hat mir leider einen Steich gespielt - du kannst das Multimineral problemlos in der Mitte teilen: - Multimineral: Feste Pille mit Ritze genau in der Mitte (einfach teilbar) - Cholin: Feste große Pille ohne Ritze (mittel…

Also falls sich das bewahrheitet, muss das seitens des Bundes schleunigst korrigiert werden. Zumal es sich hier um Hafer und kein exotisches Nahrungsmittel handelt. Danke, dass du uns am Laufenden hältst!

Chyba otruł się swoim soylentem, bo nie odpowiada i nie aktualizował przepisu od trzech miesięcy :)

Je n'es pas eu de problèmes avec iHerbs pour la livraison c'est 8$ et c'est rapide ( moins d'une semaine ) pour le poids j'ai commandé Les 5 ingrédients ' dont les 4 boites de fibres ) et pas de problèmes non plus. Si tu souhaite vraiment trouver une…

Hallo Jörg, Spannende Idee! Werd ich mir für meine Version auf jeden Fall auch mal angucken, vielen Dank! Gruß, Phil

Sieht inzwischen so aus als würde die nationale deutsche Nährstoffdatenbank (der "Bundesernährungsschlüssel") ganz einfach einen Fehler enthalten. Die Artikel die sich auf eine "europäische" Datenbank beziehen, meinen dabei wohl ganz einfach die deutsche…

I think that's a great idea. ^_^

It is my understanding that early tests showed poor absorption from synthetic sources. However longer term studies showed that the body adapts to the new source. I haven't delved into this topic deeply though, it's just something I read a while back so…

Hi Stefan, habe grade mit sehr großem Interesse dein Rezept studiert und muss sagen, dass ich echt beeindruckt bin. Werde mir das noch ein paar Tage hier anschauen und dann vermutlich die Sachen bestellen. Ich habe zwei Fragen bezüglich Mangan und Molybdän:…

Many of the government's nutrition sites don't recommend using multivitamins as the only source of vitamins and minerals in one's diet. Does anyone know why this is? Are vitamins and minerals in multivitamins not absorbed as well as when they come…

can't help but notice you just totally ignored the vitamin A upper limits on this. Isn't that really dangerous?

They even contain gelatin - so definitely not vegan.

Hello, Je regarde et je voudrais savoir s'il y a une alternative a iHerbs.... 15 jours de livraison, c'est pas top, surtout avec le quota max de poids :(

Thank you for the tip! I will try the liquid stevia. I was worried because I read that you are not really supposed to chug it down in one big gulp, but drink it more slowly to avoid vomiting (at least at first.) I knew if I had to drink it slowly, I'd…

For people having issues with the taste, I'm doing a variant with chocolate Mega Man and chocolate whey protein from Costco. Everything else from the recipe is the same as the 3.01. You get a very slight chocolate flavor and I would even say it tastes…

Can I buy some ready-made from you for international shipping?

I just received most of the ingredients 3 days ago and I have replaced 1 meal a day with Liquid Cake (the last three ingredients are missing but I'm experienting with it for the taste for the time being). I was very happy with the taste the first day,…

If there are Lisbon soylenters out there, would love taste some of the recipes out there...

.... also won't be real. I'm having the same problem. Where to order the ingredients?

Just used the Bulk Powders referral code to get my first batch ordered :) has anyone tested/found out by mistake how well this mixture keeps? I mean does it settle or separate over time if you mix up two days worth? I'm new to this so be gentle with me…

I do this, since the flavoured whey is reportedly very sweet. I also add maltodextrin though - before, I needed to add some sugar too or it tasted like vanilla flour :P

Thanks :)

I'm glad you found it helpful. I think it should be quite easy for you to lose the Barley since you have a much lower carb requirement. I keep bumping into the maximum levels of either magnesium, manganese or iron if too much of it comes from any one…

Hej hej! Sorry for the late reply! I thought this site will warn me of your reply by sending some email notification... luckily I took a peek just in case and was able to notice that you answered! Well, what I am looking for is having a good healthy…

Hallo Jörg, vielen Dank für die Info, das hört sich sehr interessant an! Werde mir das auf jeden Fall näher ansehen. (Für zukünftige Versionen, morgen wird erstmal die aktuelle ausgiebig getestet und berichtet *freu* :-) ) Das Kaliumcitrat könnte durchaus…

I've moved over to the whey protein. I'm fine with the oat flour but I also added the peanut butter to bring up the folate levels. But toying with the iron alone didn't seem to help much so I increased insoluble fiber via chia seeds and that seems…

Replaced Biochem protein shake with pea protein.

It looks like 50/50 almond meal and oat flour has more value nutritionally. When I re-buy, I'll edit the recipe accordingly.

replace canola oil and soybean with olive and coconut

While the Masa Harina @ $1.99 is the cheapest I've seen, the $7.49 shipping really throws off your $2/day

Hi Stefan, danke für das Rezept, sieht echt gut aus! Eine Frage bezüglich der Kalium- und Calciumquellen: Hast du mal mit dem Gedanken gespielt die jeweligen Citrate einzusetzen? Laut Wikipedia sollen die sehr gut vom Körper aufgenommen werden. Bezüglich…

Hiya! Had completely missed your notes. Here's the recipee I've made: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/owl-chow-01 I found the taste semi-bad, but I know that the mind is really good at pavlovizing itself when it comes to nutrient intake, so I am going…

It doesn't add enough flavor. I use a flavored liquid Stevia in vanilla creme. It seems to be stronger. Torani isn't good at overpowering other flavors. The soylent recipe is basically flavored like nothing.

Für mich passt der Preis. Ob es noch ein anderer nutzt, ist nur ein netter Nebeneffekt, aber keine Grundvoraussetzung um das DIY hier zu posten. Geht mir primär darum, dass ich es irgendwo "archivieren" kann. ;-) Wenn du noch Maismehl hast, würde mich…

Hi cmohrmueller, bist du sicher, dass dein aktuelles Omega 3/6-Verhältnis so in Ordnung ist? "Nutrition experts say a healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 in a diet ranges between 1:1-4:1, with an average on 3:1 being optimum for many people." - http://www.care2.com/greenliving/how-many-omega-3s-6s-are-healthy.html…

Der Einkaufspreis ist sowieso eine Kompromiss-Sache und ich habe privat für normales Essen bisher meistens so um die 10€/Tag und teilweise mehr ausgegeben. Ein niedrigerer Preis wirkt halt beim Rezept für die Mehrheit der Leute attraktivier, aber hey,…

Soylent wird ja auf knapp 2 Liter gekippt. Ich habe mir, bis zum Eintreffen meines Soylent Pitchers (1,89 Liter) eine 2 Liter Flasche mit irgendwas aus dem Supermarkt geholt, habe sie geleert und mein Pulver + Wasser aufgefüllt. Die Konsistenz war mit…

Ich persönlich kann aufgrund der Erfahrungen mit meinem Rezept vom Maismehl nur abraten. Dicke Konsistenz des Shakes (wie ein Sterz) wenn aufgefüllt mit Wasser in einem 1,5L Krug & unpassender Geschmack des Maismehls (zumindest für mein Rezept). Mach…

Hallo Voigt, grundsätzlich habe ich nicht vor, das Rezept in irgendeinder Weise kommerziell zu verwenden, zumal es sich für mich in Österreich aufgrund der Versandkosten der Zutaten auch nicht lohnen würde. Wenn alles gut läuft und das Ergebnis passt,…
