Any word on how this tastes? I like the nutrition, but I don't want to buy $300 worth of raw ingredients for it to taste bad.

Thank you Horsfield!

Can anyone tell me where all of the iron comes from? The only masa I've been able to get equals about 4 mg or about 22%. What am I forgetting?

Thanks for confirming, I couldn't find anything locally. Cheers.

That is the masa im using but it doesnt really matter which one. And yes thats the almond meal i got but again theyre all the same

I'd like to clarify, is this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000IJYK4?tag=19-82341-20 the masa you used? It's the one I assume you were talking about (of Max's people chow), but I want to make sure. And there is a link to this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EDG598?tag=19-82341-20…

Glad to be of service. I really believe it is better to have real foods as opposed to vitamins. Not that we could never create a perfect artificial food but as of now, while we know a lot, there is so much we don't. I think its better to use the natural…

Did you actually come up with a recipe? I'm looking for a keto lady friendly version that doesn't contain soy or mct (i prefer coconut oil to mct)

How is this recipe working out for you? Looks super simple to make.

Here's what I find with this recipe. I have tried it a few times and the major problem I am noticing is the heart burn. The reason for this is the cocoa powder + oats. Cocoa powder relaxes the muscle which controls the valve to your stomach making…

They may be a wholesaler but I had no difficulty ordering protein powder from them by email. Even in smaller quantities.

Has anyone tried mixing this with coffee instead of water? I'm trying to think of ways to NOT feel like I'm drinking tortilla chips.

There's a lot of iron in there

I love the inspiration here. I've been working on another recipe with perishable ingredients to get over the anxiety of just combining a bunch of purified vitamins and minerals with carbs and protein... It's a work in progress and I'll definitely steal…

Mostly, at this point, I just want *something*. You shipping anything soon?

Also, I'm very impressed with Bulk Powders. I ordered over £49 so the order came the next day. And they texted me multiple times to let me know exactly when it was going to reach my door. Feel free to use my discount code if you want to save £5 - GW191653

1 days worth is about 4 american cups of powder. I split in to 4 servings of about 1 cup each. Put into a 28 oz "BlenderBottle" and depending on my mood fill to anywhere between the 16 oz mark on up to the top. Really it comes down to personal preference…

You caould add just a bit of a fiber supplement like metamucil, benefiber, or psyllium husks. A gram is a small amount and should not be very noticable in a whole days worth. You could also look at others in the variants tab and see what they have come…

the potassium issue is a big one, it's not necessarily potassium on its own that's measured. if too much could kill us, how do mexicans live?

Could anyone modify this recipe as to not include such a big portion of protein?

I'm new to this whole thing. Does anyone have recommendations as to how much water should be used? I would like to avoid the mixture being too thick or too thin?

Hi, thanks for the receipt. I'm on my way to Prisma :)

Gebroken lijnzaad van de tuinen of de body en fit shop werkt ook perfect. Pas wel even de voedingswaarden aan, het lijnzaad van bulkpowders is namelijk lijnzaad olie dat verwerkt is tot een vaste stof. Gebroken lijnzaad bevat net iets minder vet dus je…

@lupingloriamorgan:disqus, I just increased the lecithin more and reduced the coconut flour further to 2 grams, just enough to give me more than 21 grams of total fiber, which is the recommended minimum for a woman 51+ years old. I suggest you copy my…

Throw it up, player. Glad you like it. The cinnamon is mostly just meant to add some flavor to the mix - the original victuals recipe I was working with needed some flavor pretty badly, so I went to look for alternatives. I had thought to just add more…

I took the tag off. I was looking for the vegetarian one, but I guess it defaulted to this. My apologies.

Ya ... so the whey is from milk. Not very vegan recipe, unfortunately

How do I add this ingredient to a recipe?

so did you gain any weight ?

Hi, danke schonmal für den Tipp. Sieht sehr interessant aus, hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass es knapp doppelt so teuer ist. Leider finde ich keine genauen Infos, wie es mit dem GI bei Maltodextrin aussieht. Hättest du da noch irgendwie einen Link? …

Because the ingredient added isn't straight Choline. It is "Choline Bitartrate". Simple awnser is Bitartrate is a type of chemical salt used to buffer and stabalize choline so it can be used in powder form.

If you took a lump of 6 grams of Potassium Citrate by itself it would cause severe burns and gastric problems. Potassium "AS aSupplement" to your current diet then you need to be careful obviously. This recipe however is perfectly balanced. The 6…

The blog has a whey protein comparison. Hard Rhino Whey was found to be cheaper and eaqual in quality. http://www.people-chow.com/hard-rhino-wpi-review/

If you have to buy a blended, i got a nutribullet 900 that seems to take the grittieness down better than any other blender i tried.

Try walmarts brand while your at it, its even better than quaker. Walmart "Greatvalue Corn Tortilla Mix -instant corn masa flour"

Wow it been a while since ive been on here. Its not good news persay just... information. Her primary question regarded vitamin K and it not being on the label. Many foods do not list ingreadients on the lable and that would have been the awnser she…

Without getting too indelicate, It seems I'm having some problems digesting the Chia Seeds. Any substitutions come to mind?

Is there a way to get this closer to a 50/20/30 ratio without sacrificing fiber and without going over 2000 calories? I'm trying to get more protein, but I had to sacrifice a gram of fiber to achieve that when I modified it.

Ai... dat is jammer. Had net mijn bestelling van bulk powders ontvangen vandaag. Dacht dat het lokaal moest gekocht worden aangezien het in je beschrijving zo stond. Is er nog een winkel achtig iets in nederland waar je een vervangend product kan kopen?

Hi, es kommt auf das Dextrose Equivalent des Maltodextrins an (es gibt Prdukte mit ca 6-20 soweit ich weiß, je niedriger desto langsamer werd es verstoffwechselt). Ich hab zb. das da: (http://www.amazon.de/medesign-I-C-GmbH-Maltodextrin/dp/B008Q7GR2E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=maltodextrin+6)

Has anyone tried this? I'd like to know how it is?

I'm glad you like it, thanks! :) The psyllium husk powder gives it plenty of thickness once you let it sit long enough.

Oh, and I forgot to mention -- the PureBulk link for the potassium citrate doesn't work. Just thought you should know. I found it on Amazon easily enough.

I'm definitely not a nutrition wiz, so I have two questions for Dr. Skittlesworth -- #1: would you consider doing the workup for a women's version of this, by simply replacing the men's GNC powder with an equivalent women's? I'd just be curious about…

Does anyone have the real nutritional info of powdered food's chocolate whey to make a chocolate variation of this recipe? Also a bit concerned about the protein dosage...

I'm gonna put my banana in your face

How did you like this recipe? I'm about to order all the necessary ingredients but thought I'd check with someone first!

Quaker brand masa tastes and smells much better than Maseca. Walmarts in Houston carry it

Quaker brand masa tastes and smells much better than Maseca. Walmarts in Houston carry it.

Hello, 1) I did not make a mistake on the Pantothenic acid. It is 13.6mcg in the multivitamin, which is micrograms. 13.6mcg = 0.0136mg. 2) I have already explained that my recipe is entirely for convenience, and said you can get oats and blend them…

Wij gebruiken Flaxseed van BulkPowders. Ik heb de link in het recept even aangepast, die stond namelijk nog niet goed. ;) http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/flaxseed-powder.html

Het productieproces is al een poos het zelfde. Ik heb zo direct geen verklaring voor deze smaakbeleving. Een industrieel ontwerper kunnen wij momenteel niet betalen. Dit is dus iets voor later. :) De drie types die je hier beschrijft komen aardig…

Creatine is een van de dingen waar ik binnenkort mee ga experimenteren. Of dit ook in de v5 formule komt valt nog te bezien. Binnenkort even wat tijd inplannen om het e.e.a. aan research samen te vatten. De korte paper die je hier linkt is in ieder geval…

Could the aloe vera gel be omitted? What nutrients does it contribute? I haven't been able to find much info on it.

Add all ingredients and 5 cups of water to a microwavable safe dish and set for high for a few minutes. Stir regularly. Divide amounts by 3 for individual meals

I'm fine with losing a little weight. I'll let you know what happens now that all the ingredients have arrived.

You mentioned the iron being too high - remember that non-haem iron is less bioavailable than haem iron and that iron in grains and plants is hardly bioavailable at all.

I like soybean because it gives me Vitamin K and enough omega-6 to satisfy the USDA.

What is Precooked masa? Is that different than Masa Harina? I think it's Masa Arepa, but not sure. Can anyone link me to a product?

Hey, I am not on a ketogenic diet myself, so no. From what I've read, the amount of fat in Phill Fuel is reasonable (given how low carbs and protein have to be) but if you have a source that says otherwise, please post a link! :)

yes i was experimenting with both oat flour and masa corn mix but ended up not using oat flour at all in the recipe, i just havent deleted it yet.

I corrected the values for Vitamin E to represent the min and max measured in IU, not mg values.

QuidNYC, I noticed a small but significant error in your nutritional values. The USDA Nutrient Database lists Vitamin E in milligrams (mg), but the DIY Soylent website records it in "IU", or International Units. In order to convert mg to IU, here's the…

Just a heads up, the MSM sulfur isn't needed in this recipe. The sulfur in Whey Protein Isolate (From cysteine and methionine) gives you more than enough, any additional sulfur isn't recommended. Tested this recipe with and without sulfur on a friend,…

Hey AusBrent, Where did you pull the numbers from for the Centrum Men Multivitamin? If I follow the link through it shows me the Centrum for men 50+ multivite which on the Centrum website has some different values. http://www.centrum.net.au/men50

Milk is going to change your fat/calorie content. When I do this, it's pretty grainy, too. I wound up getting a personal blender, and I put some ice in with the water and grind it. I stir before each drink. The ice seems to make the graininess less…

I've been doing this for several months now. For me, one "day" actually makes two days for me. I put a day's worth in a bag, and then I split the bag over two days, drinking about 5 cups each day. I spread them out, and then eat something regular for…

How badly can this influence on the body, i want to start on this recipe next but now i really dont know if its a good idea

Ich war heute im Supermarkt und habe dort 200ml-Trinkpakete mit Milch für 0,35€ gefunden. Das ganze verdreifacht ungefähr zwar den Milchpreis im Tagesrezept, jedoch ist das im Centbereich durchaus akzeptabel. Zudem gibt es in dem Supermarkt, in dem ich…

Schön, "endlich" mal eine Rückmeldung zu hören :) Klar, Rapsöl, Milch und anderes kauft man idealerweise woanders. Jedoch habe ich den Eindruck, dass es nicht schadet, fast alles bei Amazon anzugeben, da es ja Leute geben soll, die z.B. einen recht weiten…

Das Rezept gefällt mir, auch wenn ich denke, dass Amazon nicht für alle Rohstoffe die beste Quelle ist. (Eine Flasche Rapsöl kann ich ja auch da kaufen, wo ich mir die Milch besorge ^^.) Danke für die Anregung!

Hey Baard, Hoe verwerkt jij de lijnzaad? Ik heb gezien dat je poedertjes kan kopen maar ze hebben het dan altijd over "Gekiemd lijnzaad poeder". Ik vroeg me af of je gewoon losse lijnzaad koopt of deze zelf verwerkt. keep up the great job!

It single-handedly accounts for the majority of the carbohydrates and 40% of the calories. Look at the Recipe Editor tab if you want to see the specific nutrition it contributes. If you don't want to use corn I would recommend looking at some of the oat…

Noch kurz was Organisatorisches: Wie ihr merkt, schreibe ich hier recht viel in den Kommentaren. Es geht vorrangig darum, dass ich hier meine Gedanken niederschreibe, was das Planen betrifft. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, Feedback von eventuell Erfahrerenen…

Okay, ich habe es jetzt mal hinzugefügt, jedoch habe ich aus Preis/Liefergründen eine Mischung von Maltodextrin und Fruchtzucker bevorzugt. Vorallem, da ich den Geschamack noch nicht kenne und beurteilen kann, werde ich es wohl erstmal so lassen, da Fruchtzucker…

Ich bin derzeit noch am überlegen, ob so viel Maltodextrin wirklich sinnvoll ist, da es ja einen recht hohen glykämischer Index hat. Eine Überlegung wäre es, eine Mischung aus Fruchtzucker und Maltodextrin zu nehmen, da Fruchtzucker einen GI von ~25-30…

What's the nutritional purpose of the blue corn masa? It has always been my understanding (and please correct me if it doesn't apply here) that corn does not have real nutritional value. We've been playing with flavors and it seems the masa is the cause…

Any word on this, if not I will buy my own when I start Soylent month 1 in October

You might want to look at one of the instant porridges to up carbs and save time eg morvite, pronutro (gmo alert!)

not sure zinc levels are accurate, given levels in supplements; since I'm deficient in zinc, I'm not too concerned as it may well be an absorption problem, in which case excess is excreted. ditto folic acid. Vit K, choline etc I'm pretty sure I get enough…

Do you have a photo of this? I would be interested in seeing it.

Hi Brad, Few notes on the recipe: Most importantly your recipe exceeds upper daily safe limit of manganese, though manganese excess is not understood fully. You made a mistake on pantothenic acid amount in the mens multi-vitamin. Should be 14 not…

so as this recipe stands @ the amounts for one day this will make ~ 3 ish meals would you say? the Masa harina seems like alot to me i dont know im knew to making soylent and i am also a 21 year old female so i am trying to scale this for me with lower…

- Added upper level for cholestrol, 300mg per day

Dank Baard! *Rent naar beneden om voor te bereiden voor morgen.... Ik gebruik het dus echt 2x per dag voor wisselende maaltijden maar wil naar 3x toe. Wat Jeroen M schrijft heb ik ook. Ondanks dat ik het niet "Full Force" gebruik. Geen dipjes meer in…

Hi Andi, ja, auf Joylent bin ich auch schon gestoßen. Wäre sogar meine erste Wahl gewesen, denn den Preis finde ich immer noch voll OK. Das Problem bei denen ist, dass im entsprechenden Reddit Thread seit einigen Wochen/Monaten darüber geklagt wird, dass…

I don't know where you are, but I find mine in the mexican food section of the grocery store close to the poorer parts of town (they tend to have more international stuff available), in my case it's a Maxi.

The amount listed gives you the calories a person needs in a day. if you arent eating all of it you should eat something else or you will lose weight and possibly become malnourished

Almond meal we got from the package, i dont remember which brand it is. The masa we got from a government website. you can find it through max's people chow recipe

Why are you using two protein powders?

by how much did you reduce the coconut?

Het zou het placebo-effect kunnen zijn, maar ik merk na 2,5 dag al verschillen op. Betere concentratie, geen dipjes en gegaap meer, tussen maaltijden in vrijwel nooit meer honger, slaap dieper en sta vol energie op. Bij deze mijn eerste feedback: Het…

Ein erstes Problem ist mir gerade eben aufgefallen: 1l Milch ist gerade mal in 17 Tagen aufgebraucht... So lange ist Milch geöffnet nicht haltbar. Wenn ich mich recht entsinne, gibt es jedoch so kleine Trinkpakete. Ich denke, dass das die Lösung für das…

Guten Mittag, Ich wollte kurz erklären, dass ich relativ neu bin, was soylents betrifft. Ich habe dieses Rezept noch nicht probiert, und denke, dass es nicht sehr berauschend schmecken wird (Wir werden sehen :) ). Jedoch hat mich bei allen Rezepten,…

Drie zakjes per dag is een goed idee en een wens van vele klanten. We zijn hier dan ook mee bezig. Daarnaast zijn we bezig om een maatbekertje en olie mee te kunnen leveren of de olie in / met de verpakking te verwerken (denk aan een klein flesje, capsule…

Hey axcho, do you use this recipe for your own ketogenic diet? Have you found that 71% fat makes for a good macro ratio? This is higher than I heard is advisable, even for a LCHF diet. I've read that 60f/32p/8c. Thought? Thanks a LOT for the recipes/recipe…

Sers, es gibt ein paar Firmen, die das komerziell vertrieben. Halt nicht Nerdshake. Joylent.eu zum Beispiel. Kostet zwar etwas mehr, ca. €5.20 am Tag, aber dafür ist es auch weniger Arbeit.

Thanks for looking into that, and also for the time you've put into making this recipe.

Enough for two meal replacements a day. n-3 to n-6 fatty acids ratio is as close to 1:1 as easily possible. Comes out closer to 2:1 which is much healthier than what this site recommends. A few things like folate, choline and vitamin D need supplementing…
