These prices are all wrong. I assume that since QuidNYC made the recipe, the amazon stores have had a spike in sales and have decided to inflate their prices. I fixed the prices and here they are. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/copy-of-quidnycs-ketofood-for-ongoing-ketosiswith-prices-fixed…

Thank''s!

I find a good way to crush the tablet is to put it in the lid of the multivitamin bottle and crush it with a spoon. That way it doesn't go flying in bits everywhere. You then just invert the lid over your mixture and tap to get it all out.

Yes, it is to make it a bit sweeter and serves no other purpose.

The only potential source of Lactose would be the Whey Protein Isolate. The particular one being used here has no ingredients other than "pure" whey protein isolate. While there is no guarantee that it is lactose free it will be pretty darn near close.…

Glad you're enjoying the recipe! I don't see any reason not to take creatine. I guess you could mix it into the Soylent for extra convenience

Unfortunately no. This recipes original source is "People Chow 3.0.1" and even over there people have been wanting a replacement. There are others i have seen that use pills and such but i dont remember which ones. Though i might work on finding a replacement…

Thanks :) I still have a load of my previous recipe to go through first, and I'm still missing some stuff so it will probably be a week or so before I'm able to try it out. It will be interesting to see what the greens powder does to the taste, but…

I got myself these scales which are ideal: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000XXZAU4 I know what you mean about the dregs - it's all the larger oats sinking to the bottom. If you continuously swirl or mix while drinking, I find that helps.

Thanks for the interest. I am working on getting all the ingredients now to try making it. Once I am able to actually make it I will update with my impressions and make changes if needed for taste. One change I am thinking might be needed is adding Soy…

We obviously have differences of opinion on what qualifies as good research etc. And that's fine. As you said, there's risk involved with anything you choose to eat. I strongly believe that the risks are generally higher with most artificially produced/GMO/etc…

You have posted a general statement. What specifically are you considered about? Do you know of risks or concerns? Thanks for you comment.

If you liked soylent at arches, you'll love soylent at the dance recital! While filming a dance recital last night I took a picture of the setup, half drunk bottle of soylent included:http://www.thebairs.net/2014/06/soylent-at-the-dance-recital/ For…

This is mislabeled as "tasty". In fact it makes me heave when attempting to drink it. The coconut and lentils do not dissolve, leaving it so gritty you have to chew. The flavor has been described by my friends and family as anywhere from smelling like…

how long would this last for?

I don't have any technical training in nutrition or biochemistry, but I probed a little bit. The highly excessive nutrients in People Chow (B6, Thiamin, Riboflavin, etc.) comes from the GNC Mega Men Sport supplement. The amount of this product included…

Soybean oil in particular was also chosen for its alleged vitamin K content. If you choose to use Soybean oil for vitamin K source, be sure to grab a bottle as far back on the shelf on the bottom in the dark as possible and store in the dark at home.…

This is a philosophical question that could go on forever. I think what it comes down to is to listen to you body. You know how you feel on keto soy, try this one for a week and log how you feel. Better? Like crap? Mind clear? Mind foggy? Soylent…

Once mixed, treat like milk. It will last anywhere between two days and a week.. Yes many of us mix a pitcher before bed for ease of preparation, taste (some think it tastes better after sitting) and for ice cold in the morning. Only con is you will get…

I think the taste is fine--fairly neutral. I like it 1000 better than using corn masa. The oat flour doesn't mix as well as I'd like it to, but I wouldn't describe the texture as too gritty. It's kind of like you have tiny bits of oatmeal that never quite…

Mega Men is nothing more than marketing and a name. Really you would be better to copy this recipe and use a nutrient profile matching your body. Then check the nutrients against that.

Hmmm The recipe is for one days worth. Powder without oil will last quite a while, powder with oil (makes it lumpy though if you mix oil in before water) will last a little less. Mixed with water, it should be treated as you would milk. Refrigerated.…

There are three protein sources. GNC is easy as it is on the bottle. Masa, most amounts are taken from the USDA then adjust based on you paticular brand. An example is Bobs redmill has higher iron content listed on the bag than listed in the usda data.…

Unfortunately this whole process is best educated guess. I went with usda's unenriched masa amounts. I do recommend however that you adjust your amounts to your masa as some, such as Bob's Red Mill do contain high iron. I think that is where the higher…

The nutirent profile of oats does differ from masa. Perhaps copy this recip[e and experiment with the amounts. I created a variation that uses a combo of Oat and Masa as i dislike the masa. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/minimal-tortilla-146

The reason I added so many qualifiers is because if we simply say "nuh uh" then people trot out the same faulty research like it proves anything. In short, there is no reliable and conclusive research on which to base a negative opinion. And that is despite…

This recipe looks really great! How does it taste? Also, what do you mean by pre-cooked buckwheat flour? (do you boil it in water or something?)

There are some difficulties which I need to get around: 1. The system doesn't tell the difference between nicotinamide and niacin (only the latter has a toxic effect, the first has no upper limit) 2. Omega-6 and omega-3, polyunsaturated acids, are being…

Whether your daily commute qualifies as exercise depends on how long it is and how hard you ride. Moreover, these are still just estimates; there is considerable individual differences. If you want your macronutrient breakdown numbers, and don't want…

Wow, with that many qualifiers I could make the Inquisition sound like a relatively neutral religious endeavor. So lets pose opposite questions again then. Supposedly the product is safe, and based on over 100 studies, the Fraud and Deception Administration…

Thanks for this, I'm having colonoscopy done and I am not supposed to eat anything except clear liquid the day before. Instead of some broth I'll survive on this :)

Tried my first batch tonight, made a hell of a mess of the kitchen, and worked out my scales can't measure points of a gram, so need to get some new ones. It tasted quite nice to start with but the dregs of it were quite revolting. Not sure if I should…

Boiled [or otherwise prepared] eggs for breakfast and shakes when hungry. I've been trying to blend and drink the whole lot in the evening, because it thickens fairly quickly. Been eating one banana early and mixing one in with the soylent.

I felt the EXACT same way after I tried my first batch of this as did my fiance. I did some experimenting today with mixing, water, ice etc. and got a few blends together that actually taste good, are almost completely grit free and still use all the…

My fiance was VERY excited to get all the ingredients for this in the mail yesterday and we immediately whipped up a batch. The first go was VERY thick and, as many said, tasted like a wet tortilla. The grit and throat coating feeling was abysmal. We…

I'm new here and not sure what KJ's means. I would like to help with this recipe. Is there a reason that brown sugar is in the mix? Also, maybe the protein could be swapped out for something with no lactose. I have no problem with oats-however, milk(lactose)…

Hello, I was wondering how well this recipe is working for you? Taste? Weight loss? whether you feel hungry? etc. Thx!

where do people find the nutritional data for these ingredients? the protein sources have a bunch of trace nutrients listed that I can't verify

Actually I would pose the opposite question: Do Sucralose rumors really need to be entertained on a fact based nutrition site? I'm aware of a ton of hearsay and some bad research. I'm not aware of a single peer reviewed study beyond reproach showing a…

Feels good now.

Is this really a question that has to be asked on a health site? Google anything like "sucralose health issues" and you'll get more information than you can wade through. Official Soylent contains a number of things I don't want to ingest. Its a…

It would take me all day to start citing them. Google anything remotely like "health issues with sucralose" and you'll find a myriad of info. Yep, official has numerous objectionable things in it. Why do you think I'm looking at one of the more…

Finally downed one meal. Barf city. I'm not sure what it is that I've done to my body.

Not the best tasting thing ever. The name fits.

What health issues? Needs citation. The official soylent contains sucralose. I have stevia, it has an off flavor so it needs to be masked. Not ideal.

. Increased max niacin as the range on the calculator is the max daily taken by mouth (supplement not including normal dietary amounts) based on mayo clinic information.

I have a friend that is lactose intolerant. Should he worry with the Whey Protein? Has anyone experimented with Pure Whey Isolate? For example: http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/pure-whey-isolate-97.html? Anyone has a recipe with this substitution? Already…

What health issues? Needs citation. Yes, I do have pure Stevia but has an off flavor so it is not ideal for everything. Also, the official Soylent contains Sucralose.

Can you simply replace the Instant Corn Masa with Oat Powder or does it require added extra nutrients?

Sucralose is not a good additive to a superfood... too many health issues associated with it. To get the same effect (at a slightly higher monetary cost), w/o the negative health effects, I'd use a pure Stevia instead.

Esta es la mia

I add about 40 oz of chilled water and the entire recipe (pre-made in a bag) at once. I think just like food there are going to be different diy soylent flavors that just don't sit right with people. I heard the official Soylent has less complaints about…

Hei, Jeg skriver en artikkel for Aftenposten A-magasinet om Soylent og andre måltidserstattere. Jeg har kjøpt en ukes forbruk som jeg skal teste selv. Men jeg skulle gjerne vært i kontakt med noen som har prøvd eller bruker dette, enten den offisielle…

I have thought about it but I am a realist and I know that if I have to make the bleND daily or weekly I will get annoyed and be less likely to do it. Buying premixed is the most effective for me

Im sorry, but my contacts are still thinking about it. So I think more than one month. :( Its so bad that there is no ketogenic diy soylent available for sale, but spaceman (from powderedfoods) told me he got a person that is going to start working…

The Masa can be found at most Wal-Marts for just under 3 dollars a bag. Just check the store locator here: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Maseca-Instant-Masa-Corn-Flour-4.4-lb/10291185

Can I add corn flour into my soylent raw, without cooking it?

That would be great. How long do you think that will be?

After doing some pricing research online, I bought everything for around $180.

Awesome. I'm happy to hear there's obviously variations to this mix. Perhaps I should've known better trying out the "tortilla" batch afterall. In fact, I hate corn tortillas, so perhaps I thought it'd be much better than I anticipated. I was wrong.…

How does this taste? Is there any grittiness? I've been struggling to find a diy soylent that I can actually tolerate.

Perso j'avais prévu le coup il me rester plus grand chose à virer ( les fonds de sauces et fonds de placards ) Pour l'huile de colza je prend la marque Vandemoortele ( je suis en Bélgique, mais c'est la moins chère en colza tu pourra trouver un équivalent…

Is there a safe way to reduce Manganese? You've got it at .003 mg less than the maximum human tolerance.

Well its been a month since he last updated so im sure the prices have gone up. Imagine all the people buying these products now. Way more than before soylent.

which one is best - this one or your vegan choc oat? I don't mind a few non-vegan ingredients as long as there's no whey or anything..

Looks great dude! I only just heard of soylent yesterday. I'm vegan, I like fruits and already have sun warrior most days. Will prob try this! :)

Hallo. Alleen even een tip om te lezen. Nadat jij Joylent een advies had gegeven betreft ratio msm/zwavel, deed ik dat ook bij een Duitser. Dit kreeg ik als antwoord:.............. Thank you for the MSM-hint! In fact I just removed it, because it is not…

So, you're mixing up a day's ingredients, and then dividing into 4 separate meals, and then adding the oil and water? The texture is tough, but the taste should be pretty mild. Not sure why it's so strong for you. I had good luck with adding a little…

I'm not sure if my issue is related. I've started playing a lot of basketball lately and even 2-4 hours after ingesting this Soylent mix I start to feel like I want to puke, fighting this off while playing in a rec league game is a huge con, I tried…

I'd like to thank you cultofmonkey for this awesome recipe. This is my first foray into Soylent diet and it is simply the only way I can attempt a Ketogenic diet as I am a vegetarian (I'm allergic to most animal proteins except dairy) I just finished…

Verkoop je die zooi nog steeds? Ik heb opzich wel interesse.

.....toen ik, wat betreft die ratio msm/zwavel, hetzelfde comment ook gaf bij een Duits recept, kwam de maker even later met een verrassende (tenminste voor mij) mededeling....."Thank you for the MSM-hint! In fact I just removed it, because it is not…

Good job finding that info! It makes sense (especially because Rob Rhinehart confirms that for that reason the official Soylent also doesn't contain MSM)

Are you adding all ingredients (345 g of masa harina, etc ALL for one days worth of drinks)? I did that and then added blueberries and strawberries, but it was even more disgusting. I'm wondering if trying to do a whole daily batch at the same time…

Dear ingreclient, unfortunately I don't know any details about Amazon shipping to the Netherlands, best is you ask their support, they usually are very helpful when you phone them. Thank you for the MSM-hint! In fact I just removed it, because it is…

The overwhelming tortilla flavor surprised me even though I was expecting it. I let mine sit over night before mixing it with a few ice cubes and by morning it's a pretty good temperature. I was drinking some yesterday and noticed the taste didn't bother…

Hi Phil. Unfortunely Im unable to ship to the USA. Im located in mexico and there are shipping restrictions. Soon I will have a partner in the USA that will fulfill American requests and Im sure the price will drop. Currently I display high prices because…

So how did it go?

OK, danke Dir. Da myprotein gerade 30% auf alle veganen Proteine gibt, werde ich mal einen Versuch wagen und das Rezept nachbauen. Falls es jemanden aus der Region Stuttgart gibt, der Interesse am zusammen-panschen hat, gerne bei mir melden.

Hi gueste, sorry, I forgot to take a look at the notes. I understand now,....and will stay tuned ;-). The reason I am interested in recipes based on products from Amazon.de is, that it's free shipping to the Netherlands, with orders above €20 (is that…

I do have regular table salt in there as well. I use the salt substitute to get potassium and chloride into the mix.

Hi ingreclient, maybe I will add an English description lateron - as stated in the German description testing phase has not begun yet. I will start a diary and report as soon as I got all my ingredients from Amazon :-) Stay tuned!

How is the taste?

Purplelizzard. I am interested in this recipe. I see you are on powderedfoods selling this. My only worries are that it is a donate button and not a buy button and that the one month price seems high considering the ingredients cost much less. Does preparation…

did you buy the same amounts that are listed there? some f is it actually cheaper and some a lil more expensive? How much Masa did you buy? its listed as like $3 and that is only enough for 6 days.

Great information. My day is filled with all these highs and lows. I think it's a result of ibalanced carbs.

Well I learned why my pee is on the verge of being neon yellow. Side effect of the crazy amount of riboflavin. So I guess that's good that my body is flushing it. I guess if that's not the case, then it means you'll be making kidney stones soon.

Are you sure the nutrient values are correct for the soy bean flour?

I'm branching out from People's Chow and this is the first recipe I've tried. It's tastes great. I think I'm definitely an oats guy rather than masa. The masa was ok, but the texture could be rough and I would be plagued with bad after-taste all day and…
