I want to increase the carbs a fair bit, at least 120 a day, how would I do this? How much whey protein can I replace with oats? Or is it even possible to replace the Whey Protein with another, higher carb, ingredient?

How low can you go with the protein? I want a lot more carbs, is it possible to do it with oats?

I've updated the recipe again. Nutrient levels checked against UK RDA. Sources included in Nutrient Profile. Tastes just as good. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/uk-rda-simple-soylent-mark-iii

Three, potentially; although I tend to eat with my family at breakfast and our evening meal so soylent isn't required at those times. I don't adjust the recipe on this days, for ease of use if nothing else. I tend to be quit active, so be aware that the…

Is anyone concerned that the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio is something like 8.5:1 in this recipe, mostly due to the fact it encorporates glorified vegetable oil? Is there an oil mixture that can bring that ratio down?

You can buy it at http://custombodyfuel.com/product/schmoylent/ - same price as Soylent. ;)

Wow, really glad to see your mix progressing! I'm gonna keep a close eye on your notes, before I purchase anything myself. Your oatmeal issue is one I've known well from making smoothies. I use a coffee grinder to get very fine oats, maybe that's an option…

Exactly, you need lots of masa harina for daily use. There is "days / item" column in the ingrdients table. Look carefully. You can copy recipe to yourself and fix prices.

replaced Zoye Soybean Oil with Walmart's Great Value Vegetable Oil and locally sourced the Maseca from Walmart as well to avoid the stupid shipping costs on the flour. The recipe consumes about two bags of the flour a week and Amazon's 1.99 doesn't account…

I'm currently using Maltodextrin to up the calories but I'm going to switch to Palatinose. Both powders are types of sugars but Palatinose has a much lower glycemic index so carries a much lower risk of Diabetes.

I'm sorry I'm new here so I've got some noob questions about this recipe... Because the masa harina bag only contains 2000-grams and the recipe calls for 345-grams daily, this recipe will only last roughly 5.8 days? So you'd have to buy 10 bags of this…

Hi! I've decided to start consuming a DIY Soylent. At the moment I've been oscillating between choosing this recipe and the People Chow one. I was wondering if you are still happy with this recipe and why you chose to make your own over the People's Chow?…

I like your idea of whole food recipes: http://discourse.soylent.me/t/vitamin-a-help/16184/6 - Check ingredient data. They are often wrong, or missing some nutrients ("Not tracked by USDA"). - Some supplements that are going to be shared between recipes:…

How many meals a day does this recipe provide you with?

Potatoes may be cut up and cooked with skins on (will increase potassium and fiber). There are also cooked, peeled potatoes available in cans on the canned vegetable aisle at the grocery; not sure how they compare nutritionally to fresh, boiled taters…

How would you recommend upping the calories to 2000 or so? Also, any other multi-vitamin I could use as a substitute?

Naja, 1865 würde ich nicht als etwa 1800 bezeichnen. Ich würde nur trotzdem gerne weniger kcal haben, da ich sehr viel sitze, eigentlich keinen Sport mache und der Rechner hier c.a. 1900 kcal als Tagesbedarf ausgibt, um das Gewicht zu halten. Deswegen…

Based on the NEJM article, 8/14/14, which recommends 3 to 6 grams of Sodium daily, I increased Sodium to 3 to 6 grams and adjusted Chloride an equivalent amount.

I am curious about this blend, not because of the graininess, but because I think oat is probably healthier on balance.

One disadvantage of this recipe is the Saigon cinnamon from the Cassia family. Cassia has a stronger flavor that is more likely to be noticed, but on the downside it has high Coumarin content. http://cinnamonvogue.com/Types_of_Cinnamon_1.html Cinnamons…

The amount of days of soylen each unit of produce provides. So, for example, if I buy a 1kg bag of sugar, and my recipes require 200g per day, then it yields 5 days per unit.

Can regular Crisco vegetable oil be used instead of the pricey stuff (since Crisco is soybean oil)?

Might want to update the prices. Some of them are a good bit off.

Yes same here, not sure exactly what the cause is, but pretty sure it is something in the GNC Mega Men.

I just made this and it is inedible, tastewise.

In some cases (esp the corn masa and oil) our local store was 5 times cheaper than amazon. Do some looking! I'm about to order all the ingredients and it will cost $130.

Made my first Liquid Cake this evening. Kind of went all in and ordered 5kg whey and oat bags. Anyway i mixed it up, and i loved it! I was a bit nervous after reading the comments people are writing on here, but I really think it'll be a long time before…

Hvahahahahah

Hope I am not asking a dumb question here but what is the Days/Unit column?

Hi Kelshaw, thanks for sharing your receipt. I am a researcher in Singapore so most of the time quick busy in the lab. I want to have a try of the Soylent before going to massive production. Would you mind sell me some of your products? Please contact…

Ak máš chuť sa o tom porozprávať, prípadne fyzicky stretnúť, môžeš mi napísať na martin bodka habovstiak zavináč gmail bodka com. Chcel by som to vyskúšať a rád sa dozviem prípadné rady.

Cool! Ja mám teraz v Amerike kamarátku a chcel som to nejako cez ňu preposlať, ale keď som zistil ceny poštovného, tak som sa na to vykašľal. :) Nemám vlastný recept, lebo som sa tým do hĺbky nezaoberal. Dlho som dúfal, že to budú posielať aspoň do EÚ.…

Super vidiet ako sa slovenska komunita rozrasta. Gratulujem k receptu, vyzera byt kompletny.

Vdaka, som rad, ze vyzera v pohode :) Prakticky som to este neskusal, lebo chcem zapracovat na cene celeho receptu.

Nazdar, jasne ze sa mam chut o tom porozpravat :) Mam v Amerike teraz kamosa, tak som mu povedal, nech prinesie soylent nech okostujeme. Mas uz nejaky vlastny recept?

Im on day two of this recipe and ive noticed that despite drinking plenty of water my urine is almost neon yello, I did some research and everything points to B vitamins. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

How could I buy some Schmoylent from you? How much would it cost and how much would it get? D:

You could use whole flaxseed or ground flaxseed, that keeps alot longer. Could you make Kefir? I gather it's a cottage industry kind of thing.

"with fairly minimal preparation" So long as you don't mind peeling all those spuds ;) It's a pretty impressive recipe though.

I'm amazed how much you covered with only those ingredients :) Also, I had no idea there was so much sodium in milk!

I just mixed up my first recipe of "Hot Java", have not tasted it yet, but it seems quite dark (cocoa). I notice on your recipe that at the end of two line items you have what appears to be a multiplier, can you let me know what this means? "NutraBio…

Seems like sulfur powder was used as a 'beauty mineral' and a laxative back in the day. Maybe the food you are eating on the side naturally contains sulfur and could be putting you at those laxative levels. http://livewell.jillianmichaels.com/list-foods-contain-sulfur-5102.html

I looked into this and apparently the Soybean oil seems like it's included because it adds some vitamin K1 and has a neutral taste. The recomended daily K1 value is being satisfied with the Mega Men Maximum Nutrition so that makes the Soybean oil kind…

Yep.

It actually turned out alright! Check out the updated notes if you're interested: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/whole-food-vegan-mix-v35 Thanks for sparking the idea to revisit the drink. Still got some work to do on it, but it's not bad, and could be…

I went and had a look the other day, it's accuracy is rated to 1/100th of a gram, but that might be an exaggerated claim. Here's the one I'm looking at: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/satrue-micro-small-pocket-scales-100g-n95jl For my "400 Day Vitamin…

Hi, I made my first batch this morning, all good (its better than I expected to be honest after consuming various different concoctions over the years). Cultofmonkey, thanks for all your work on this, appreciated. I Need to work on my preparation sequence,…

I've tried it for a few days and it seems ok, possibly a bit sweeter. Strangely I've already forgotten mostly what they both taste like. I know that they both have that small strange after taste, so must be the other bits doing that but it's fine.

Sveikas, gal realiai mėginai šį soylento receptą?

I did it! Ingredients came and I've been solely on Liquid Cake since yesterday. At first the taste was amazing (I'm using vanilla whey). I thought "it tastes just like cake batter! This'll be a breeze!". By about 1pm on the first day though it was starting…

That seems like waaaay too much work! I'd question the tenth of a gram accuracy - in chemistry labs in college that accuracy has been questionable in any further calculations I've done. Are all the pills capsules so you wont need to crack out a mortar…

Switching from store brand to Maseca brand nixtamalized corn flour made a huge difference in reducing the grittiness. But the grit is still there. And I can't mask the corn flavor.

it's good but there's too much sulfur. How is the taste?

If I copy this recipe as best as I can, is that really fine? Should I tweak the recipe some to match my specific needs? How much water should I drink while taking soylent? How would I integrate http://ca.bodybuilding.com/store/blue-star-nutraceuticals/omega-blue.html…

Hey Chris, thanks for the People Chow recipes. I was thinking about getting some People Chow or maybe doing my own DIY. I was wondering: If I don't intend to live 100% on this stuff and expect to get at least 1-2 regular meals a day, I can probably cut…

Cool, I’m glad I could help! Yeah, I’d prefer not to have to cook it as well, but after seeing how well it turned out baking it I got a bit carried away with the cake idea. I have to admit, I find the idea of surviving on a diet of entirely cake a hilarious…

Hey! Just wondering, are you still using this? How's it going for you? Also, if you're in Dublin, I think there might be cheeper flaxseed meal in Down to Earth on Georges st. (that was the cheapest one I could find).

Hey, thanks! I haven't ordered my ingredients yet, I've been hesitant to pull the trigger! I had a read through your "novel" and its given me a lot of ideas. I'd definitely like to replace the sugar in my recipe and the erythritol looks like a great replacement,…

Since there is so much Mesa in this recipe has anybody tried actually making tortillas out of it? Would the heat affect all the other ingredients too much?

I noticed that Synthank's nutrition info on the vanilla whey says that for every 100g of whey there are .54 mg of Folic Acid. Yet our vanilla whey ingredient has no folate in its nutrition info... I'm a little concerned because when I change my ingredient…

Extremely impressive. $1/day for excellent nutrition from whole foods easily obtained in a grocery store, with fairly minimal preparation required. I am working on simple whole food recipes and this is along the lines of what I hope to create.

You could try oat flour. I think it's pretty much the same thing, but ground more finely (which would be all to the good!). Check the nutrition info to be sure.

I'll second that. I'm drinking the chocolate Liquid Cake I mixed up last night, and it's kind of like drinking chocolate pudding. There is a faint bitter aftertaste, but dark chocolate is kinda bitter so I'm telling myself it's a feature, not a bug *grin*…

Good luck mate! I've been on it for several weeks now and the recipe on here is probably going to have no further changes, since I'm happy with where it's at. With your initial concern, I have made sure there are no credible sources anywhere which say…

I don't see a reason not to change it. All I have done is to try my best at meeting the daily requirements of that profile with a low number of ingredients that I can get easily.

Reducing the starch is probably what I would look at doing first, the other thing would be to reduce or replace the peanut oil with a lower calorie source of omega-3 and omega-6

I just picked that profile as it seemed to be a common one and I would like to keep the calories fairly low for weight loss. I believe you can just eat more each day if it's not enough for you.

Sorry I've neglected this. I didn't like the taste and couldn't keep it up for a long time. I've been meaning to experiment until I get it to something I enjoy but just haven't got around to it. I'll try and do it soon and post results.

Note the vitamin A source is non-preformed carotenoids which are not associated with adverse effects. The dose here is equivalent to roughly 1900 RAE of vitamin A. Niacin is unlikely to have side effects at this level. Doses of up to 2-4g a day are used…

Anyone have anything to replace the lecithin? Its the only thing left in my mix that doesn't blend perfectly

"jedzenie to jedzenia a picie to picie i na samą Cole wydałem koło 200zł(2 litry dziennie, czsami jescze wieczorem dokupowałem litrowa Colę)" Dodaj colę! :)

does anyone know where i can find the masa corn mix in canada?

I'm reading some bad things about maltodexterin lately and I'm adding it to this recipe to bring up to 2000 cal. Is there a better alternative?

what's the taste like?

I fixed problems with salt and omega-3. - Chloride was missing in milk ingredient, and potatoes were "with salt" (non-iodised). - Added flaxseed oil. It's cheap but i've read that it won't store well for months, and it doesn't convert well to DHA and…

Okay.

Despite the reputation of Quinoa as a nutritional powerhouse, the Quinoa flour seems almost nutritionally inert and pretty much screws the mouth feel. Empty carbs. I'm going to try omitting the milk to try to get the sodium under control. The freaking…

Bedankt voor je reactie, had het bij verschillende winkels gevraagd (o.a. 2 vitamine stores) en die hadden nog nooit van scottish oats gehoord.

I was initially concerned with the very high % of some of the vitamins (B6 and 12 specifically) but after some research they seem well within acceptable limits. (being vitamin D deficient, that doesn't concern me!) I may give this a try, weight is getting…

I'm going to pick up a scientific scales from Maplin which is accurate to a tenth of a gram, then I'll make up a 400 day batch of vitamin supplements/salt. That keeps it within measurable quantities, and I can take smaller amounts of the resulting mixture…

Would there be any way to make a similar recipe to this but only using non 'commercial' ingredients (powders and shakes and stuff)?

Are you using this in place of a normal diet? I eat a decent dinner most days so would think of using this as a breakfast/lunch substitute..

And I used the higher calorie count as I found I didn't have the energy when I used 2000kcal recipes. 2500 works well for me as I run about 20 miles a week and have a job where I'm always on my feet.

I took it from the pull down list already on the site. Already noticed a couple of things are off; some vitamin levels, for example, are a little higher than I would expect. I'll check it all eventually, but for now I'm working on trust of whoever posted…

I don't get how you'll work the fractions of the pills? no household scale is that accurate. Or are you just going to round up to the nearest half?

Jeg er helt ny indenfor dette felt, men vil gerne snuse til dette, da jeg finder emnet spædende. jeg vil gerne vide lidt om din blanding, da den umiddelbart ligner noget af det jeg har læst mig frem til er det bedste... hvordan er det, og hvordan reagere…

Added MSM powder to the list. It's not required in the EU RDA I'm using but alot of other profiles recommend it and it only adds 5c/day to the recipe.

I wouldn't try to bake it, you'll lose all the vitamins of the recipe. Vitamins (especially B and C) don't resist well to high temperature. Other wise I keep it most of the time at room temperature insime my bag while I'm working (climatized environment…

Hey Wayne Would you mind sharing your version? (If you have it as a complete recipe) // Deinem Link nach zu urteilen sprichst Du auch Deutsch, daher gerne auch per E-Mail: focusonart (at) gmail .com ;-)

Vanaf heden verschepen we ook naar Belgie. Neem even een kijkje op de Nederlandse pagina van dit recept en doe mee aan de discusie. :) http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/complete-food-v4-httpswwwcompletefoodnl

Leven jullie overigens zelf op jullie produkt? Want als ik de ingredienten van dit recept zo zie ga je tekorten krijgen.

Houden jullie er rekening mee dat het cacao poeder dat bulk aan de wei toe voegt de slaap niet echt bevorderd? Er zit Theobromine in cacao wat een zelfde effect als caffeine heeft. Heb zelf lopen experimenteren met chocolade varianten maar we hebben er…

De helft van de nutrients ontbreekt. Waar halen jullie de omega 3 en 6 vetzuren uit en in welke verhouding? Er zit wel erg veel zink en ijzer in dit recept. Website ziet er goed uit. Helaas weer een recept op sojameel basis. :(

Been using this off and on for a couple weeks, just a meal every other day or so. Have noticed that if I use it 2 or 3 meals in the span of a day or two it can really upset my stomach. Anyone having similar issues? Haven't been able to pin it down…

Anyone know why this recipe uses so much sulfur powder? The serving size listed on the bottle is just 1g, so wondering why this recipe uses 5g. Noticed some of the other recipes don't use any

to je actually tocno sto mislim, odn ako ovakva brasna smatras sirovima. Kao i u ostalim popularnim receptima za koje znam. U orig soylentu jedes sirovo zobeno brasno. U peoplechow, najpopularnijem diy receptu, jedes sirovo kukuruzno brasno za tortille,…
