Great addition! I just gave it a shot... it really combines well and brings some more sweetness out of the other ingredients.

The grittiness of the flax is my biggest problem as well. I haven't found an affordable substitute that's more fine-ground. You can try pulsing the flaxseed in a food processor beforehand, but it seems too oily to make a good flour. I got plenty of…

Nice work with the recipe! I’m glad mine was useful for you. I’m planning to edit mine to get the cost down some more too, but am just trying to get it tasting good first. How did it go for you? Are you drinking it or have you tried baking it? I’ve only…

Es kann andere Faktoren haben, aber darum testen wir es ja über einen Zeitraum. :) Was du noch tun kannst, ist alles mögliche an Früchten bzw. Beeren reinzumischen. Nicht zuviel, da du sonst ein Problem mit den Nährstoffen bekommst. Aber für den Geschmack…

Ich habe auch alles geschmacksneutral bestellt. Erste Variante habe ich mit Vanille probiert. Resultat: Schmeckt wie Keksteig. 2 Liter davon waren nicht angenehm. Ab Tag 2 gab es dann 100% Schokoladenpuder, da dies generell sehr herb ist und möglichen…

The vanillia smells very sweet, i've made up a batch with it now and will give it a try in the morning. I've tried looking for alternatives to whey (as I imagine many have due to the cost) but they all seem to have a lot of negative buzz around them.

Thanks Stumpy11 :)

Zuviel fett!

Hi - Did you create the UK RDA profile? If so, what was your source. If not, have you double-checked it? I used the U.S. government DRI, male 19-50, 2000 calories profile in my UK recipe: https://diy.soylent.me/recipes/uk-soylent-see-notes. It's interesting…

Chocolate whey tastes much better than vanilla to me. Just tried it.

Hi, mich würde interessieren, in wie weit du es abgeändert hast. Bin recht neu hier und habe noch kein Soylent probiert, und da derhier ganz gut aussieht, mir aber ein paar zu viele kcal hat (möchte gerne gut abnehmen, mein Ziel wären so 1500-1700 kcal…

The recipe is for an entire day of soylent. You take the amount of each substance listed under "amount" and put the powders into a blender. Mix. You now have one day of food. Then divide the powder into however many meals you want. Ingest the pills…

Potassium, sodium, and calcium are 1000x higher then they should be.

One thing I would highlight is the mix of bivalent metals being absorbed within one meal - your uptake will be reduced and so a higher amount might even be beneficial in most recipes. Iron uptake is in competition with Calcium, Zinc, etc.

I was wondering if you found an alternative to the Paradise Herbs multivitamin. It includes a bunch of herbs but doesn't include it in its daily values. It is cheap though. Awesome recipe and thanks for sharing :)

No problem :)

Hé! Vind je 't nog steeds smaken? Heb gisteren alle grote ingrediënten voor je recept besteld. Ben benieuwd. Met hoeveel water moet 'k 't ongeveer aanlengen? Nog verdere tips misschien?

I've only tried it 5 or 6 times but it seems ok to me with the chocolate flavour whey without any unflavoured, havn't tried vanilla yet. There is a sort of bitter aftertaste bu it's not very potent.

Where can I buy the Fine Oats in the states? What substitution can I use that I can buy in the States?

Why can't I get the taste right? Ive tried Unflavourded and vanilla 50/50 All unfalvoured All vannilla Unflavoured with cocoa powder Unflavoured with sugar They all taste really bad?!

Hey Peter Will give them a try next time! Thanks!

it's advisable. chinese food don't have nutrition facts/data.

这蛋白粉真便宜

Are you asking how long will a single batch keep, or for what period will it provide nutrition? If the former: you're advised to consume official Soylent within 2 days, if kept refrigerated, and I'm assuming that this also applies to DIY recipes. …

how many days would this last

Really excited to see the ingredients can all by reasonably easily secured in Japan! Thank you for putting this up!

McDonald's is not a food, it is a restaurant that serves a variety of food.

Thanks. The 20mg figure is actually a maximum, according to the NHS - the minimum is about 9mg for men and about 15mg for women - although I don't know what their advice is for anemics.

Thanks.

cultofmonkey I recently registered with Bulk Powders and gave your referrer's code. However, I didn't get the £5 and I don't think you did either. I wrote to customer services. They apologised and asked for your email address in order to give you the…

I did a heck of alot of shopping around to get it that low :) I'm sure there's better bargains around though, if you find any I'd love to try them out.

Shipping is the main cost, so if you can get rid of that it'd probably be similar to what's in your chart. Tesco Aldi and Lidl multivits are all based on EU RDAs, which are much lower than US ones, there's only a couple of vitamins you need to worry…

Ich hab erstmal Bensdorp Kakao (100%, ohne Zucker also) (bei Edeka gekauft) probiert, der ist OK. Wenn gut gemixt schmeckt das ganze damit echt fast wie ein cremiger Schokoshake. Als nächstes probiere ich den Kakao von Alnatura aus. Das schlechte Ergebnis…

€1.81! that's amazingly cheap!

I won't be ordering the ingredients till mid September when I'm back in College, haven't looked at the Aldi vitamins. I did compare cheap tesco multivitamins but they didn't have the same amounts and would require more than one pill which was way too…

Still researching ingredients to get this to 100%, then tweak taste.

Ich habe jetzt auch selber angefangen und gestern meinen ersten batch für heute gemixt. Ich habe alle Zutaten geschmacksneutral bestellt. Was dazu geführt hat, dass meine erste Mahlzeit nicht gerade lecker geschmeckt hat. Äußerst bitter. Heute morgen…

just a heads up: There's slightly cheaper flaxseed powder in "down to earth" on lower georges st. Whole brown linseed in tesco is cheaper still, but it might not have the same absorbtion as the powdered stuff.

The min protein amount is wrong. It should be between 85 - 105g pr. day

I'm trying this formula out with a couple different Whey options. I'll report back after some trials. =)

Are you talking about mixing the dry powders http://www.thebairs.net/2014/06/mixing-up-soylent-ingredients-for-7-days-at-a-time/ or mixing up one meal with water and oil http://www.thebairs.net/2014/07/mixing-up-a-meal-of-diy-soylent-video/

I got $277.30 http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection-with-olive-oil

I keep forgetting to post this stuff here http://www.thebairs.net/2014/08/supplementwarehouse-shaker-bottle/

Bought some more ingredients in tesco today :) Salt and Lo Salt. They have an offer on the calcium and vit D tablets as well so I'll probably pick them up tomorrow. My little soylent cupboard is filling up :D

This is an experiment in getting my nutrition up to speed while I'm in the middle of a Crohn's flare-up. It should, theoretically, be gluten-free, lactose-free, corn-free, as free as the wind blows, and HFCS-free. We'll see how it goes.

Im pretty sure that the calculations on sulfur is wrong ! I have an education in chemestry from the University of Copenhagen (KU) (im writing in english for the sake of other people) When i do the calculations then i get that from every 100g MSM, then…

A na koji način se to priprema i jede? Pretpostavljam da ne misliš da se jede sirovo brašno?

Thanks for sharing. I'm curious to see how this works out for everyone else. I'm almost at the 1 month mark, down about 10 lbs and feel amazing. My girlfriend and friends have been naysayers about this soylent idea from the beginning, but I think they…

^ That was me, it didn't post as me for some reason. I just compared them a bit more, the vitamins you're using is more complete and has higher dosages for most things (based on US rather than EU RDAs), but it's around twice the price after shipping…

Nice recipe :) I'll be interested to see how it goes. Just one thought: Have you tried the multivitamin & minerals tablets from Lidl? They're fairly good all round, and it might be more convenient than ordering from amazon.

Ordered all the amazon.co.uk ingredients last night :) Gonna pick up some of the supermarket stuff today. I'll have to save up for the bulk powders stuff for a few weeks, but it feels good to actually get this moving :D

Just added the Kosher tag as I'm pretty sure anything without animal products necessarily follows those requirements.

I'm new to this so please bear with me. I clicked on Nutrient Profiles and then I saw that there are 50 recipes with this Rob's Newest Recommendation profile. Is there a way for me to see the 50 recipes without hunting through the whole site? I just…

It does seem weird that you can search for an ingredient, but if it isn't part of a recipe there is no way to add it to recipe.

Hi all, 2 questions for the community… 1. Has anyone tried alternative forms of presentation? Turn liquid cake into CAKE! Ive seen some other DIYer posts about making very thick “porridge” or biscuits. There is also talk about using coatings to make…

Update on - you get it - Equivalent ML for those of us without scales: Flaxseed: 15ml Masa Flour: 400ml Kentai Power Protein: 150ml Salt: 5ml

In the movie (and book) the term Soylent referred to a variety of high nutrition foodstuffs which contained everything a person needed to function. Soylent green was just one of them, ostensibly made from plankton.

Ditto. Would make searching for the specific ingredient you need MUCH faster.

Taste pretty good. I'm going to add just a touch of psyllium powder to bring up the fiber. Does it work better to mix it up and and let it soak overnight?

Your soybean oil probably doesnt have much vitamin K anyway. First link from @endtropy ----- For those of you passionate for your soybean, canola and vegetable oils - there is good news. Exposure of oils to sunlight or fluorescent light destroys approximately…

Warnings like that are for the mineral straight up. Taking this recipe at face value, you are getting 23 grams diluted in 4 cups of powder mixed in with a gallon of water and drunk throughout the day. you are fine. However, Does your brand of masa actually…

Half the sulfur in this recipe comes from the Whey and the masa sulfur listed here actually is lower than both enriched and unenriched usdas amounts. So you probably fine there. Vitamin A DRI is 3000 which is covered by the GNC. fine again. Calcium is…

Not bad at all! Some things to consider... It's very low in Omega-3. Have you considered partially replacing sunflower seeds with walnuts? Or add some flax seeds or chia seeds. Or some salmon. Also, reducing the salt to 3g would still give you a decent…

Spoko :) Co do zalegania/separacji składników, to nie wiem czy zaopatrzyłeś się w lecytynę, która z punktu widzenia dietetycznego nie jest niezbędna, za to doskonale emulsyfikuje miksturę, powodując że nawet po nocy stania w lodówce olej nie oddziela…

Dzięki za odpowiedź! Właśnie zakupiłem w okolicznym sklepie mąkę owsianą. Użyta zamiast płatków już nie zalega na dole. Smak stał się średni (może też przez Twoje ilości oleju). Po dodaniu dwóch łyżeczek miodu do kubka 300ml soylent stał się dobry, prawie…

Hej! Najważniejszy pierwszy krok :) Zwykła mąka kukurydziana + płatki owsiane są do przebolenia i szybko się kończą. Ewentualnie strata mała jak jednak nie dasz rady. Dla mnie smak był od początku na tyle akceptowalny, że dawałem radę (myśląc o tym…

Że też dopiero teraz napisałeś, wczoraj kupiłem wszystko do wersji 1.1 ;D Smak średni/słaby, choć może po kilku dniach organizm zauważy, że jest w tym wszystko, czego mu potrzeba i przez to zacznie lepiej smakować - miałeś taką przemianę? Co by nie…

This tastes great with a little sugar added. I know its not healthy, but I'm hoping to wean myself off it once I get used to the taste. It's also a million times better fresh, and looks pretty disgusting after sitting in the fridge for a couple of hours.…

I applaud the effort :) Be careful with raw wheat flour though, see: http://www.reddit.com/r/soylent/comments/2b12nu/why_does_no_one_use_flour/

I double checked the vitamin/mineral levels of the masa, and the levels listed in this recipe match those of the "enriched" masa. However, maseca masa harina is NOT enriched. If you use this recipe as it is now, you run the risk of being deficient in…

Update on update on update - another 1/3 recipe production, this time without soy milk of any kind and instead with three bananas and ice cubes (and some water), and much more tasty and palatable! Still without psyllium - and still taking multivitamin…

Excellent! I will follow.

Bin schon bei 4 Tagen mit dem NerdShake in einer etwas veränderten Version (Kalorien). Mit Vanille bekommt man eine art ungesüßten Keks teig, wobei mich nur der Mehlgeschmack stört. Auf 4 Becher bin ich auch gekommen allerdings weil ich das Maismehl…

Hey cultofmonkey, Your work here has convinced me to take my first step into the world of DIY Soylent. Today I mixed up my first batch of Liquid Cake for my dinner (Just used a third of all the daily ingredients). The taste was.............bearable! Where…

What's the name of the other recipe? Do you have a link you could share?

I'm using Trader Joe's unsweetened cocoa powder too

Any thoughts on substituting peanut oil? My tummy still can't handle the full load of MCT, but the taste of a lot of olive oil is weird. Peanut oil seems to have a much more neutral taste, and also has saturated fats. I was also speculating about whether…

I wonder how big of a problem it really is because the second most popular UK recipe http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/simplecheapvegannosoy-soylent-low-carb has 13.37 grams of omega-3.

Update on update - produced 1/3 of the recipe for 'dinner', without psyllium powder (as mentioned in my previous comment) and with soy milk (tried both 有機豆乳 and 調整豆乳) to dilute, texturize, and 'flavor.' The taste is incredibly bland, with grainy texture…

Also in Schulnoten ausgedrückt würde es von mir eine 3+ geben. Aber hier geht es ja nicht um den Geschmack. Es soll ja einen Zweck erfüllen. Meine Freundin und zwei Kollegen haben es auch probiert und das Feedback war: "Ok". Ich kann mir aber schon vorstellen,…

Just put it in bold near the top of the notes? People are bound to read that before buying.

Hey mrjames. What would you recommend changing to reduce the omegas in this recipe?

I'm going to try this with my next batch - I'm not digging the flavor currently. Thanks for the tip!

I just wanted to say: thanks. I've used your measurements multiple times - very helpful.

I've had success by taking some Betaine HCL after a meal. Long story short: my stomach sucks. So, I've learned by experience a few signs to watch out for. I starting feeling a little nauseous and like an upset stomach was coming on - popped a Betaine…

My first batch did not have any but that was shaken (and still lumpy). My 2nd batch was blended and had a particularly strong soured taste.

The texture/taste have improved somewhat since I'm now not using 4x the amount of hemp seeds, excel typos ftl!

Okej, tack!

I'm no expert but here in the US I have a 65mg supplement that I take every day with no side effects. I was, however, anemic when I started taking it. I did a little research just now and I see the recommended amount is 10-20mg, so who know why it's…

Hi cultofmonkey, Thanks for all your work on this recipe! Do you use 100% vanilla whey or do you mix it with unflavoured? I started with 100% unflavoured, foolishly wanting to save a few quid, and it is nearly inedible. I mixed it with some strawberry…

Hi, I started using this recipe a few days ago and I think it's great but I was checking over the numbers and I seem to be missing some Vitamin K. As far as I can tell the only source of Vitamin K is the Centrum Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement and…

Damn, so according to this I would need almost two bags a day to maintain my weight? That's not very cost effective...

I've been using it off and on for months now. I feel great! I'm still losing weight & never feel hungry. The only real downside is that it gets quite boring after a while.

Hmm. Good call, but I'm not sure what else I can do. There's no way to link directly to the vanilla flavour.

Yes, according to NHS guidance it is too high. According to US govt guidelines it is well below the maximum dose of 45mg. I can't say which is right or wrong. I would recommend talking to your doctor

I just started today and used around 2L of water for the whole thing. I had to make it in two batches in the blender. I made the first one and poured it out into the containers before making the second batch. As far as I know it doesn't keep for very…

Updating - picked up some GNC-brand Choline in the US and brought with me to Japan. The Psyllium powder shows as shipping from the US, but only seems to serve the purpose of adding mostly fiber to the balance, potassium is already low - given that bananas…

Yeah, Definitely wasn't the cheaperfood. I learned my lesson, I gotta eliminate contaminants at every level. Reminds me of that fly episode in Breaking Bad.
