Wow this mix is far more delicious than the other DIY recipe I've tried thus far. It's actually pretty damn good!

Found it! And it tastes ridiculously good. Wow!

When i adjust my nutrient profile, it doesn't update the profile on the recipe page. why?

Can anyone see an alternative for the GNC MegaMan Vanilla Bean on bulkpowders.ie, or at least a UK/Ireland source for it? An amazon.co.uk link would help either. Thanks in advance!

Should the high level of saturated fats be a concern? Thanks.

No need for sulfur as Pea Protein contains enough amino acid. There also may be other vitamins & minerals in the Bulk Powders items, but their Nutrition Information section leaves something to be desired. Not sure how to make up the extra Iodine (without…

Is anyone making this in Korea? I would be interested in chipping in ....

I made this, and it was so delicious. I died.

Can this be used to completely replace food like normal Soylent?

Yep, you're right. It is the B vitamins. All the research I've done says it's completely harmless. You pee out all the extra vitamins, and some of the B vitamins are just a neon yellow. Kind of looks like yellow gatorade.

I'm surprised that you didn't like the flavor. I actually really enjoy it. To me it tastes like a slightly too thin chocolate milk shake that has a touch of chalkiness/sediment. Do you refrigerate it overnight before consuming? Many people have said that…

Yep, I mix all the dry ingredients ahead of time and separate them into baggies. I break down the recipe into three meals a day and put one meal per sandwich bag. Every evening I put one bag of pre-mixed dry ingredients and 2 tsp of Udo's 3-6-9 in a blender…

I have no idea about the estrogen levels, but I do use Udo's 3-6-9 instead of the soybean oil. You could try that and see if it alleviates your concerns.

Where is the button to favorite a recipe? I must be blind :P

So I got corn meal because it had similar nutritional value to masa and masa isn't in my area at all. I also couldn't find the salt substitute so I'm taking 1 potassium supplement a day until a local pharmacy can order in potassium chloride. I'm gonna…

Yep, that's what I did as well. Reduced the cayenne quite a lot (think I'm doing like .3 to .5 grams now instead of 4) and I add in like 10 drops of stevia. I've also started putting in some instant coffee to give it a bit of a chocolate coffee flavor.…

Taking out the Choline Bitartrate massively improved the flavor of this for me. If anyone else is having issues getting it down, try taking that out and taking a choline pill supplement instead.

Taip, pagal šį receptą pagamintą Soylentą valgau kiekvieną dieną. Daugiau info FB grupėje. Vėliau padarysiu how to. Čia ne jogurtas, o batonėliai, be kepimo.

Ok so I did a bit more research, my only questions now are: With the high fibre and fat contents, is there a reason you go over the 100% threshold? What is the quantity of the brown rice protein?

Könnte das nicht ein bisschen viel Vitamin A sein? Wollte da nur kurz drauf hinweisen, da die Vitamine E,D,K und A fettlöslich sind und somit der Überschuss nicht einfach ausgeschieden wird. Könnte auf Dauer Probleme machen (Belastet die Leber und so…

Hi, ich habe mich vorallem wegen dem Vitamin D umgeschaut gehabt. Leider gibt es einfach keine verdammten Pillen mit 600 IU. Ich finde nur welche mit (warum auch immer) 1000IU. Höchstens mal mit 500IU, aber dann recht teuer. War es nicht zum Teil so,…

Does it include the brown rice protein? It's coming up as €0 for me.

not yet complete. needs nutrition balancing. unable to safely use more than 100g of oat flour

Yeah Neru you'll be fine taking the old formula. With the updated Centrum values, there was a bit too less Vitamin K, Vitamin A and Molybdenum, which are easy to get in most food sources anyway. I am keeping it updated for the idea of taking it 100%…

Hey Brad, I noticed some new changes to the recipe, would it be ok to continue on the old recipe until I run out of Almond meal? Is there much of a diff between the new Centrum and the old? I would only be having it for 2 meals a day...

I tried a custom version of this for 2400 Cal - 400 g of corn flour 120 g of whey 60 mL of olive oil All the ingredients occupied almost all of my blender capacity. As a result, it was hard to add enough water for it to mix evenly. I eventually had…

Interesting question. I'm not sure if you'll get an answer since I haven't seen Quid post in a while. Even if it's not zero it's definitely significantly less since it is formed in quantity during the roasting process.

According to http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Folate-HealthProfessional/#h8, the daily upper intake limits for folic acid is 1mg. The more than 200g of whey powder alone go past that limit. Add on the 0.5 mg of folic acid from the vitamin pills and this…

Szia Cassus! Ki is próbáltad már, mert nagyon jónak tűnik :D

People Food Plus (PF+) includes cracked chia seeds, that are darker than the powder and plainly visible in the mixed blend. I considered advocating that these seeds take another pass through some sort of grinder, until I tasted the mix. It’s great as-is.…

Thanks! That's just what I was looking for.

Easing into the mixture, starting with 1/2 batch per day. Meanwhile, I've been experimenting with diluting it down to 2.5 L to easily spread it out over 5 mini-meals, which is going well. But I am also working with a slightly different version containing…

What's the source of the claim in the notes that raw cacao has no acrylamide content?

Jeg prøvede den i omkring en måneds tid, men synes ikke umiddelbart jeg blev mæt af det. Kørte det også morgen, middag og aften. Overvejer at prøve at bruge det engang imellem som enkelt måltider, hvis jeg lige har travlt.

I'm thinking of adding l-carnitine and beta alanine to the recipe, thoughts? EDIT: Planning to flavour with vanilla.

Hi, Thanks for posting this, it looks good. I'm just wondering about the high fibre and fat contents, is there a reason you go over the 100% threshold? I'll use your voucher when I order. How long of a supply did you order? What is the quantity of…

Thanks, I was not aware. I will think about this, but I do not think I will worry too much about it.

Not sure what happened, but my bottle says differently to what I could find today at Chemist Warehouse and the Centrum website. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I have updated the recipe.

Wondering the same thing. Will let you know if I find it.

Hmm, in principe zou een dergelijke vitaminenmix wel op te schalen zijn naar een productielijn. Het is tenslotte niet meer dan het tot stof malen van de pillen en deze op de juiste manier mixen. Zou het een probleem zijn als ik je recept eens bekijk en…

What do you mean cooking the masa like malt-o-meal? That's just a brand of cereal... Also, the Masa is already cooked. That's why it's masa and not corn flour.

That's a valid concern. These two links should point you in useful directions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_Reference_Intake#Current_recommendations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis

Mijn reactie lijkt verdwenen te zijn, volgens mij komt dat doordat ik een link plaatste naar een artikel op een 'niet door DIY soylent gesponsorde site'. Maargoed, ik heb vandaag even wat gerommeld en twee verschillende recepten gemaakt. De eerste…

I've checked your maths, and the Potassium Gluconate tablets (x3) only provide 180mg of Potassium, not the 1650mg stated here. The 1650mg figure is the total Potassium Gluconate mass, NOT the total Potassium mass. Rather than 3 tablets per day, you would…

What's a good online source for New York City Drinking Water?

Ja hoor, dat is heel goed mogelijk! Ik ben met mijn eerste post misschien wat te negatief overgekomen. Ik heb wekenlang het recept zoals het hier staat zelf bereid en ik voel me goed en gezond, ik denk alleen dat het een goed idee zou zijn om voor de…

Bedankt voor je reactie! Zou het een optie zijn dat ik nu de vitamines van dit recept nakijk en bekijk welke slecht-opneembare vitamines er in zitten? Vervolgens de shake alsnog bestellen en voor de slecht-opneembare vitamines ook nog naast de shake…

Thank you for your response. I'd actually like to be taking a vitamin supplement, but I'm concerned about getting too much of something. I'll look up the recommend maximum amount of Vitamin D for me, and try a supplement accordingly.

Upping those nutrients is more for if your trying to get used to a ketogenic diet, which this is not. Try going outside and getting some sun or take a vitamin D supplement. A quick google of "vitamin deficiency headaches" seems to bring up a lot of articles…

I'm making new recipe, no cooking required. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/no-cooking

This seems like a keto diet. Make sure you ask your physician before you start using it.

This is correct. I am aiming for convenience though, and buying pre-blended oats is much easier than blending it yourself each time.

When you mix all the powders together it's fine; however when you add water to each meal you'll need to drink it within 30 minutes. (remember you are making a days worth of powder, then weighing out a meals worth of powder at a time to mix with water,…

I was looking at the instructions for consuming Psyllium husks - it says "Mix well, then drink immediately before it becomes too thick to swallow comfortably. (Psyllium thickens rapidly when added to water.)" - any note or tips on when I should add this…

I don't know if you can honestly call it food...

Are you suggesting only mixing 1/2 a batch for the first few days and supplementing that with meals? Your comment about only 1L is ambiguous.

I just ordered everything off this list from amazon with a few exceptions. I already have some protein powder and carb complex that I'll use and I traded the salt substitute for some sea salt that I like and the soybean oil for coconut oil. These may…

Een eigen preparaat zou wel echt ideaal zijn! Maar ik kan me inderdaad voorstellen dat dat prijzig is. De stoffen zijn wellicht ook allemaal wel gewoon voor consumenten los te kopen, dan zou je het ook zelf kunnen doen. Maar dat zal wel weer een heel…

Die Idee mit den Supermärkten als Bezugsquelle finde ich super - machst Du noch weiter mit der Rezeptur? Ich glaube die Multivitamintabletten von Aldi haben das beste Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.

Het is een zeer lucratieve handel in voedingssupplementen en vitaminepillen. Fabrikanten en websites die zich voordoen als officiële instanties doen uit winstbejag allerlei groteske uitspraken die niet wetenschappelijk onderbouwd kunnen worden. Daartegenover…

Almost unrecognizable :-)

Ik zit hier ook een beetje mee, je leest veel berichten dat synthetische vitamines niet goed zijn, dus met dit recept zou dat dan toch leiden tot een tekort? Eigenlijk is dit het enige wat me er van weer houdt om over te stappen op "drinkbaar eten". Heb…

After my first day, I have to say that it taste great - minus the cayenne lol. I had to put very little cayenne in todays mix, and it taste really great. I also put some Stevia Extract in my mix as well.

Zutaten, die man einfach ersetzen kann: - Natron = Backpulver, gibt es quasi überall, für diejenigen, die keine 5kg-Packung von Amazon wollen. Besser wären allerdings Bullrich-Salz oder Kaiser-Natron, die reines Natriumhydrogencarbonat darstellen. Im…

Danke, sehr ausgewogenes Rezept, deren Zutaten ich mir just bestellt habe. Drei Anmerkungen: 1. Calciumcarbonat kann man auch gut aus getrockneten Eierschalen (95% Calciumcarbonat) gewinnen. Einfach mörsern und gut ist. 2. Natron gibt es als Backpulver…

Bedankt voor je bericht, ik heb je aanmerkingen genoteerd. Zodra het wat minder hectisch is gaan we weer verder met de ontwikkeling van de formule. We hopen uiteindelijk een eigen vitaminepreparaat te kunnen laten maken waar we uitsluitend de kwalitatief…

Wij gebruiken een productieproces die heel veel lijkt op die van een bakker die meel-mixes verkoopt (bijvoorbeeld voor 'omas pannenkoeken' oid.) We moeten het productieproces nog vastleggen en op de website posten, het is echter erg hectisch op het moment.

Het recept op deze website is 1:1 het zelfde als de man afvallen versie. Het onderlinge verschil tussen de versies zit hem puur in de hoeveelheid maltodextrine, super pea, wei en fine oats. Ik zal de ingredienten nog een keer nalopen op de webshop, wellicht…

Did you add suger just for the taste factor?

If anyone's interested: I've been using this recipe for about 80% of my week day meals (weekends I eat out a lot with friends) for about 2-3 months straight. There is definitely a huge difference on days where I eat "normal" foods and snacks and no…

Oh, and I'm 20# down, mostly due to the keto-focused large lunch/dinner salad, but I credit the diy soylent with keeping me going until lunch! Texture is thick and a little 'chewy' from coconut meal, coffee, and flax -- I consider this a major plus,…

Since July, only for breakfast/AM. Lunch-dinner is protein+salad+fat spread out over afternoon/evening. Felt a little groggy the first few days (as to be expected with the keto plans) but that was *very* mild and now I feel normal!

Not sure to what the weight of "Selenium as Sodium Selenite" refer. Is it pure Selenium? blog.soylent.me: Selenium (55ug) from Sodium Selenite (120ug)

I`ve heard the same about flax oil too. I would put straight fish oil but I`m afraid that would taste very bad.

A note on this - I have looked into the oat flour thing and a cheaper option would be to buy plain rolled oats and put them in the blender to make oat flour - you could end up paying $20.00 less (than the $39.00 oat flour) if you look around. (Correct…

Thanks so much!

Jop, sind teilweise wirklich sehr hoch. Würde deshalb auch davon abraten. Leider gibt es kaum Tabletten mit "wenig" Vitamin D

The amount of vitamin D of 200 IU is 100% recommended daily norm in Spain

Het is inderdaad moeilijk een goede multivitamine te vinden, ik heb ook geprobeerd recepten te maken met diverse andere multivitaminen maar bijna niks is écht compleet (zonder hoge hoeveelheden ijzer, mangaan, niacine, etc.). Mag ik vragen welke multivitamine…

Awesome, thanks! Now to see if I can locate it...

Ik heb er nu drie weken complete food versie 4 opzitten. Ik heb in één klap in principe al mijn maaltijden van de dag vervangen. Af en toe neem ik nog weleens wat vast voedsel voor het genot of gemak. De eerste paar dagen heb ik last gehad van een heel…

Has anyone had experience making this ahead of time and storing it? I'm thinking about mixing about a week's worth of the dry ingredients together and then adding the oil and water day by day, but curious if there's a better way to make and store large…

Adding a touch (4-6 ounces) of black coffee or cold brew coffee concentrate to this instead of chocolate powder is great for the morning.

I too have suffered from an upset stomach and it seems other recipes compensate by adding some source of fiber to the drink. I choose to use psyllium husk powder as my source of fiber and the upset stomach disappeared immediately.

I've heard about that but I'm not sure if its pop science or factual. I've substituted the soybean oil with flax seed oil at the same severing per day because of the omega 3 vs omega 6 ratios and non-GMO soybean oil is stupidly expensive. It adds a mild…

This is the bag I just got at WalMart - I don't have the other one handy, but it looked like the one in the ingredients list here. Even though this says for Tamales the only ingredients is corn treated with lime, same as the others, so I don't know what…

Nice idea, UK, Amazon and ketogenic. I wouldn't limit it to amazon though, as bulkpowders and otheres are cheaper sometimes. Also whats' with £2+ "per day" on codliveroil - that's not right. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005GUU680/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1DCWU29KJDQTD&coliid=I37YA23D666YO&psc=1…

Easy to do, but tastes horrible and hard to swallow. How much water do you mix it with? Thanks!

Ik had gisteren mijn eerste bestelling gedaan! Ik heb echter een vraag. Als ik op jullie site kijk zie ik een andere samenstelling van ingrediënten dan hier. Ik neem aan dat jullie gewoon de nieuwste versie op zullen sturen? En klopt het dat de ingrediënten…

So its OK to blend the oat powder and the masa harina and drink it raw?

The protein choice is up to you. I prefer WPI, but will experiment with other proteins eventually. Just make sure you check the quality of the protein and how much actual protein is in the serving size. As for your wife, assuming she isn't pregnant…

Won't this have a reasonable amount of sulfur in it, despite that not being listed on the label?

Doesn`t the soybean oil increase estrogen levels? Do you have an suggestions for a substitute?

Hey folks, I am looking to do a 30 day DIY Soylent diet. I waned to get your feedback on how this recipe has worked for you. My goal is to lose weight and reset my body's health levels. Any feedback would be great. Thank you

Hey Brad, thanks heaps for that - I have ordered the ingredients and am looking forward to trying. Any thoughts on adapting it slightly to my 22 yr old wife? I would've thought that replacing the men's multi with a women's would do the job (She just wants…

Is this gluten-free? It's tagged as such at http://custombodyfuel.com/product/people-fuel-plus/ but only tagged as "Tasty!" here.

What in the recipe makes it not gluten-free? I think I looked at all the ingredients and couldn't find anything with gluten. UPDATE: Two sites that sell this pre-made list it as gluten free.

So I just did a diff of this and trixilly's s "Superfood for Her based on QuidNYC Superfood for Him - gluten free" recipe and the only real difference seem to be that this one has one less ingredient - Cinnamon. On the Cacao, Chia, Soy Lecithin, Masa…

So I just did a diff of this and QuidNYC's recipe and the only real difference seem to be that this one has one extra ingredient - Cinnamon. On the Cacao, Chia, Soy Lecithin, Masa there are different brands. Yet this is marked gluten-free and that one…
