Oats however, are a complete protein, except for being a little low in lysine, which peas just so happen to be high in =) http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5708/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2517/2

hey there! I somehow goofed on the niacin content of the gnc max: check the ingredient in my modified recipe, it will make that go green for you.

you do know you don't need the msm powder as the sulfur is in the whey protein.

STOP!!!! REMOVE THE CORN MEAL IMMEDIATELY, YOUR GUT FLORA CAN'T DIGEST IT UNTREATED

ey lad, hur vet du de andra närings innehållet av ärt proteinet? har du testat att använda whey protein istället och kunna kommentera vad du hade yckt om skillnaden, sen varför har du en soy/ärt blandning?

i recommend you to use a blend of iodized mineral salts

Oops - meant 60 x 300mg tablets - imagine paying $23 for 300mg of it :S

I've been taking this for a little while now and feel much better from it (only 1 portion a day, so only 1/3rd of it as I wanted to start slow and have encountered a few negative side effects). I've started looking at Choline Bitartrate which is one…

Hey there. I've considered crushing up the flax seeds, but yeah, everything goes into the blender minus the pills. You can get some decent models for 5,000yen - mine's pretty cheap.

Sugar is for taste and a few more calories.

I shake mine up without a blender. I bought this carafe http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Carafe-Leak-Proof-2-quart-1878491/dp/B003EYUZLI/ from the Container Store. Washing is super easy, and so is mixing up a day of meals. I just add the oil first, then…

Chia seeds - 2 year (1 year ground) Protein powder - 1 year Corn masa - 6 months Olive oil - Ranges from 3 months to 3 years. Check the container. Oat flour - 3 months The supplements and other ingredients I'd try to use within a year.My guess is that…

I'm not sure about the max dose of Potassium Citrate, but it is the only source of potassium for the recipe. The USDA recommended amount is 3.5g of potassium so you need 6g of potassium citrate to get enough.

My understanding, and quick google check, is that Whey is considered a complete protein meaning it has all of the essential amino acids. I did follow your link (thanks for posting) and was very surprised at how low the worst ones were, but in general…

I can't wait for my first comment! ...Oh wait, that'll be me.... FIRST :D

Yes, the amazon prices seemed to climb for a lot of ingredients after this recipe got popular. In this case just go to your local walmart, HEB, etc. You can still find 4 lb bags between 2 and 3 dollars.

Hrm, this is frustrating. After having looked through a *lot* of DIY soylent recipes, this one seems to be the best fit for me. However, I live in the US, and I'd love to be able to source these ingredients locally rather than paying a lot for international…

Bananas and nuts can supplement that as well. These make excellent pancakes / crepes and when slightly burned taste like churros.

Good afternoon, I am very new to the DIY Soylent scene. Can you tell me how this is going for you?

I'm pretty disappointed with Liquid Cake v1.3 and I'm not sure whether to spend more money trying to make it to my liking or give up since it costs so much initially. It's got an overpowering nutty taste that drowned out the vanilla flavouring and came…

I just bought it from here: http://www.iherb.com/now-foods-potassium-gluconate-100-pure-powder-1-lb-454-g/13939 They have international shipping for 4$ so it's pretty decent

The price for the masa on amazon, via the link, is $10.98 not $1.99 as claimed!!

Be very careful using protein powders, they are notorious for over claiming the protein content, which which means you will be under dosing on protein which is super important especially if you are training. See results here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag9uT-E4EIL7dFZPZnR0WVZybGtFWnRKNzdKNm9XOVE#gid=0…

Hi, Interested in trying this out, primarily because I am a Glutard (ie Gluten Intolerant). Just wondering why you use so much Potassium Citrate? Looking at the recommended max of 4g, but this recipe has 11g! (looking at the nutritional chart, not the…

I dig your efforts and follow through.

No, I do not believe it will be enough. You should probably check some calorie calculators but you'll need to add a bit to maintain weight.

Okay. Cool man. We gaan uiteraard vrolijk door!

A note on this, on the amazon links the potassium gluconate is broken

Sodium 21 mg

Zaujímavé, vďaka!

I think I'll get the small lotion dispenser like Chris Bair, it seemed like a good idea. Thanks!

The "Add a New Ingredient" function doesn't seem to work. After taking about 10 minutes to add "Personal Radical Shield" and all its ingredients to the form and clicking "Save", I can't find it anywhere. It didn't get added to my recipe or the Ingredients…

Thanks for the reply. I am seriously thinking of giving this a try. Do most people use a protein shake shaker to mix it right before drinking it? Do you get hungry? So many questions. I think I am just going to have to find out for my self.

potassium -39.098 (g/mol) chlorine is -35.453 (g/mol) so molar mass of potassium chloride is 74.551 (g/mol) then divide the molar mass of the element by molar mass of the molecule and that will give you the ratio k and cl in a gram k = .52444 cl =…

Zoals op het label aangegeven is het een zakje per dag. Brandend maagzuur is even aanzien, bij de meeste mensen is dit weg na ongeveer drie dagen. En anders kan je het altijd terug sturen, we crediteren dan het aantal zakjes dat we onbeschadigd terug…

toto ste zachytili? http://www.mojemana.cz/

Would this recipe be sufficient for a 5'9, 170 lb guy, ~11.5% body fat, who regularly (3x a week) does calisthenics exercise? Each workout day ends up being around 3 hours, including rests. My goal is to actually stay slim and muscular, in the 8-11%…

How did it go for you? I've found that the texture is best when I blend it all right before I drink it. I'm not too sure about coconut oil with all that saturated fat, but if it suits you then go for it.

Oh yeah, I thought you has some special one-off purpose in mind, like an expedition. If you want to do that regularly, you'd be better just getting some small plastic battles to keep your oil in.

Hey :) Nice to see other people getting interested. - If you want to bump up the calories you could just add more sugar. Milk would probably do it too. Try copying the recipe if you need to tailor it to your own needs (copy button is at the top, just…

I really don't get that, masa isn't some rare health food. Its a common flour for tortillas

Max dosage of Potassium Citrate is 275 mg per day.. it says its toxic in large doses.. why does this recipe call for 6g of it ??

Stopped eating the corn meal because yeah that wasn't good at all. I have masa on the way, someone found it at a health store apparently. It truly is hard to find here. Looking forward to the lecithin replacement because I'm not fond of the smell or taste…

Your recipe looks great. I've seen a few of these (very few) and I dislike the use of powders and flours. Yours is real food, which makes more sense to me. I have a few questions. Did you mean 1 gram of banana or one whole banana? One gram did not seem…

Ik voel een zeer lichte vorm van brandend maagzuur... Had ik eigenlijk niet verwacht. Ik heb niet zo'n zwak maagje :-). Is daar iets van bekend? Moet zo nog mijn laatste slokje nemen. Verdeling is nog een beetje experimenteren. Toen de doos kwam dacht…

I hate this recipe!

I used it for weight loss at first and it worked very well, but my endurance was impacted. I have since changed to maintenance, and I feel (and perform) better than ever - since taking LiqCake I have repeatedly beaten my best times in hiking, running…

Hello all. I have been researching liquid diets today and stumbled across Soylent which seems to be so much more. I am going to give my self until the end of the month to research and then give it a go if I think it's for me. Questions are: has anyone…

Do you just put everything (minus the pills I guess) into a blender? I'm wondering if a blender can do a good job at fragmenting flax seeds, but don't have one at hand to try.

Hi there, I am very eager to try this as I am a terrible cook, very bad at meal planning and waste too much money on snacks/ready meals. I have some questions though and I'm a bit nervous about spending so much money up front. Is there a way to…

Thank you! Have you tried it? I don't know much about nutritional values etc so I'd have to research it first. Assuming it was still under 2000 calories, I'd be interested. On second thought it looks too expensive to be a viable option

Theoretically you could use Tapioca Maltodextrin to powder the oil. It's a technique used in molecular gastronomy. But you'd need to take the nutritional value of the Malto into account, and you'd end up with a higher calorie version of LiqCake.

Does anyone know of a replacement ingredient for the oil which can be powdered, so we can prepackage a few days meals in their own bottles without having to add oil with the water?

Hoe kouder hoe beter ;)

Lekker Baard! Bestelling dinsdag ontvangen en vandaag begonnen. Had meer kartonsmaak verwacht met een hintje banaan maar dit is prima.

it's a little low on Choline and Chloride, and potassium. Take a supplement.

I'm confused, why is that good news?

stocking upon 3 kilos of rice this trial will last for 2 weeks

Yes, the price has gone up, unfortunately. :( Now that you mention it, I'll update the price on the recipe to reflect the latest from Hard Rhino.

So far the Paradise Herbs multivitamin is the cheapest, easiest option that is complete. You could also look at the Celebrate Bariatric Multivitamin, but you have to use multiple pills per day, and it's a bit more expensive.

Glad you like it! :)

That is true. I'm using a very small amount of cinnamon per day, however, such that coumarin side effects are unlikely to be a factor.

Yes, Marion Chow is gluten-free. There's just no "gluten-free" tag option on the DIY Soylent site.

This is exactly correct.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around lately! I actually have a new recipe with literally 4 ingredients that is complete: due to gnc's mega men max now having almost everything. I've been on it over a month and I feel wonderful. I'm amazed that you found…

just ordered some choline bitartrate to replace the lecithin (last non-powder item). I'll update with results

Stop eating corn meal immediately! Humans cannot digest uncooked corn meal. Masa has been specially treated with lime to be digestible. if you cant find it you really aren't looking in the right aisle. Walmart has two brands of it, and I've seen some…

The iron content of your rice protein may be wrong. Each serving has 15% of your DRI of iron which translates to 2.7 grams per serving not the 1.2 your claiming in your recipe.

I also read on one of the Soylent pages that they are aware of the headache issue and will be fixing it in the production version. They recommend not quitting regular food cold turkey and to integrate Soylent slowly into your diet giving your body a chance…

Grand so :)

Yes, the pastebin site with the code pasted after the / worked great !

Just as an FYI, we are also concerned with GMO and Hexane in our Crude Food recipes. You can buy non GMO expeller pressed canola oil. The brand we use is Spectrum, it is more expensive than the regular Canola oil costing about the same as extra virgin…

ive only just got into soylent, ive tried this for a while and it is a chore to eat, the odd flavourings really don't help so ive substituted all the natural ingredients with a multivitamin containing nutrients from natural sources, ive found a way to…

i am also rannyfash, i wrote the post on sciencemaddness

ive only just got into soylent, ive tried this for a while and it is a chore to eat, the odd flavourings really don't help so ive substituted all the natural ingredients with a multivitamin containing nutrients from natural sources, ive found a way to…

Agreed, but I can't find the sulfur content of an egg anywhere online. 180mg Sulfur/55mg Egg makes no sense. How can you get more sulfur than the amount of egg you started with? Hopefully someone is better at google than I am and will supply us with a…

Adding banana extract is great!

I've been blending everything lately, but this is clearly too much fiber for me. I'm going back to blending the greens and juicing the others.

I asked because OneOfMany07 had suggested in the comments to Quid's "Ongoing Ketofood" that raw cacao may still be heated to acrylamide-generating temperatures by the sun-drying process: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/quidnycs-ketofood-for-ongoing-ketosis…

No problem at all, you too :) I trust you were able to find the paste of the reply ok?

There is controversy over canola because of its GMO and processing with Hexane. I am trying to produce a recipe that is as non controversial and non allergenic as possible. Using this recipe you should be able to replace everything with Organic Non GMO.…

I really appreciate the time you took to reply! Thanks a lot. I'm still researching about the whole thing. Best of luck with your soylent journey!

oh vielen Dank für die Information :) dann werde ich mein Rezept mal überarbeiten ^^ EDIT: ich habe mich bei der Angabe definitiv mit 2000 ng auf 100 ml verrechnet ^^'

I've been having this for a little over a week for ~2 meals a day. I feel pretty good. It tastes a lot like Cocoa Pebbles which is awesome.

How are you getting the protein powder at that price? It looks to be considerably more expensive than listed.

See the above comment about this. If you follow the pastbin link you'll see all the details, but basicly you want to divide the protein 70:30 between the pea and rice. When I actually get my hands on some rice protein I'll adjust the recipe to reflect…

I'm not too familiar with nutrients in general, and I was wondering if someone could elucidate this to me. Looking at the nutrition facts, People Chow 3.0.1 has 156% the recommended daily serving of choline, which would be 858mg. The recipe says to add…

Is is alright that micro-nutrients such as potassium and magnesium and the like are the same between the ketogenic and non-ketogenic diets? I've read (mostly from reddit) that people on a ketogenic diet require more of these nutrients to prevent cramping…

I made a big long reply to this but it doesn't seem to have shown up. Hmmmm, it seems to be links that are killing it. If you go to pastebin using this code you should find it: JxQpXeeq

http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/fnic/interactiveDRI/ Put in your stats and it should give you an idea of your DRI profile

Vitamin K is supplemented using Pine Needle tea.

Yeah I just gulp it down, after all one of the main reasons for me is time management. Yeah I'm at about 90%, so I don't even bother with the oil as it's such a small quantity that I figure I get enough of it from the normal food.

Yep this is my permanent recipe, I'm very happy with it. I didnt go with People Chow originally mostly because I've heard about people not being able to tolerate the masa texture/taste, whereas oats are quite palatable. I made this one because of logistics,…

Yep, teveel ijzer voor langere tijd is niet gezond. Misschien het recept wat aanpassen zodat je minder ijzer binnenkrijgt? De behoefte van ijzer is voor vrouwen zowiezo anders dan voor mannen.

Update. I've been eating about 50% soylent and adding a banana to it to get some form of potassium in order to not die of potassium deficiency. I've been feeling kind of weird whenever I drink soylent like I'm having problems digesting it. Also had an…

How many ML of Sunflower Oil should be added? There seems to be some missing values in the table. Thanks!

Saturated fats from MCTs aren't really a huge concern, as the lipid length is much shorter and the melting temperature below body temp, unlike most other long-chain triglycerides. (Interestingly, meta-reviews have come out recently in highly credible…

Does this nutrition information account for how cooking alters some nutrients?

Why do you want to be Canola free? It has a much better omega 3 to omega 6 ratio. Also your fiber seems very high and the phosphorus quite low, I was just wondering if this is a deliberate choice or just a work in progress as you develop your recipe?…
