I'm looking at buying the easy-clean lids to fit my existing bottles. It would be $16 after shipping for 2 new lids. (Use promo code Contigo20 for 20% off)

If i remember right, you can email bulkpowders.com for a more complete micronutrient breakdown.

Well this was over Thanksgiving, between mouthfuls of ham and turkey, so I don't suspect a vegan agenda.. The processes described apply to protein from all sources, however protein derived from meat is significantly more expensive to digest and make…

You could try ordering a sample from http://aussiesoylent.com.au/ I haven't received mine yet so can't comment on what it is like but I thought I'd try it for $13. I am using official Soylent in Australia (via http://www.shipito.com/). Do you have a…

For starters I would cut out the egg and get a better multivitamin. Your health is depending on this soylent skimping on price is not in your best interests. Centrum isn't exactly the best multivitamin in the world. There are lots of multivitamins out…

Thanks for the quick answer! I was 50/50 on if there was a problem so it's good to know it's an expected few days wait (it's not a problem, I just didn't want to sit here for no reason if there was a problem). Thanks!Jim

I doubt anyone like that will "team up" with them. There's already a few of "them" who are watching this + getting ready to pounce with their own similar & competing product, believe me. (not saying that's a good or bad thing, however, competition is…

Your not going to find a single supplement that will give you 100% of everything. The manufacturer is assuming your eating food that will give you allot of what the pill isn't and they don't want to accidentally give you an over dose on the nutrients.

Subscription orders are shipped out in batches every few days, so you will be getting a shipment notification soon. We are working on fully automating this system, so that subscription orders are shipped out immediately after the customer is charged.…

I've already received my Soylent and my first subscription order. On 11-Sep-2014 I was charged for my first recurring billing of my subscription, and expected it to ship shortly thereafter. Yet nothing. It hasn't been crazy long (only a few business…

Ah, how did I forget this one? Vega One Nutritional Shake One serving supposedly has "50% daily intake of vitamins and minerals" So far I only tried the "natural" (tasteless) version once or twice .. but it tasted like grass (even after I added milk…

I admit I have noticed that some DIY soylents seem to have a disturbingly high amount of some nutrients. Generally to little of a nutrient is bad and will result in a deficiency while to much of the same nutrient can also be bad because it can be toxic…

It's interesting to compare different ratio of nutritionally complete foods for weight loss purposes. Soylent offers 50/30/20 Carb/Fat/Protein and you have results described here. According to customer reports DIY-blends based on Low Carb diet (40/30/30…

You can use the Nutrient Profile Calculator to get an idea of the number of calories, carbs, protein, and fat you need. From there just look around and pick ingredients you like from other recipes and modify their amounts to suit your dietary needs.…

Yes, it's hard, but we coped with it due to Flaxseed & Hemp seed blend. But I think that more we talk of it - more producers will support our demand.More over - they start offering by themselves, have a look at e-mail I received today: Hello, I would…

There is no need to throw out this batch. I do the same thing as you, add the oil to the dry ingredients then add water. I let it soak overnight and give the container a good shake before pouring. I also use a 28oz blender bottle to break up any remaining…

Thank you! (20Characters)

Since you created a subscription using your backer email address, the first shipment will be going out in the next few days. Thanks for your support!

The discontinued model (with the difficult to clean lids) is available at WalMart for $13. Didn't see it on their website, but when I went into the store to pick up a Thermos brand they had a ton on the shelves. I'm guessing Contigo liquidated stock to…

I decided to use these: Kleen Kanteen Wide Insulated 16oz They should be coming today. It will work out for me that I can split it up ( 16oz in one, and 6oz or more in another ) because then I can drink one for lunch and another as a 3 PM snack. The…

McDonalds might be on board if there were an extra 60g of sugar added to each meal

Yes. That is exactly the target consumer for Soylent. It is meant to replace frozen quesadillas and Big Macs, according to Rob. People don't eat McDonalds because they see themselves as gluttons. They do it to eat at a high calorie:dollar ratio and because…

Or if you don't happen to have an immersion blender with seperate attachments lying around, use a regular whisk

Scotty,I am going to recommend you just take a recipe from the site, mix it up, and try it out. Your biggest obstacle will be finding a recipe you don't mind drinking regularly. Almost any DIY will work for weight loss for a couple of reasons. One they…

I would recommend that you order some samples from http://www.powderedfoods.com/. I believe some or all of the recipes are open so you could find one you like and then not have to buy everything local. At the very least you can see if a liquid diet is…

We are trying to get changes in twice a month. But because of MOQ's with our manufacturer that means releasing probably every 2 months. We will definitely be providing release notes with each iteration and further information on our website.

Keep at it, ya doin' good! Hey been mixing PB2(powdered peanut butter) with my dark chocolate and got me a REESE's pieces tasting drink. Just have you some fun with the favor mixes. Butter pecan favoring was good too.

Thanks for posting about Camelina oil. I had never heard of this, but agree it seems like a perfect oil to pair with MCT. I will have to get some to try in my next batch. Version 1.2 here we come.

Because the typical person ordering a Super-sized Big Mac meal is Soylent's target market, amirite?

We have you in our system and we are working to get your order out in 2 weeks. I do wish we had a way for you to check on fulfillment status for your re-order but that's just not in the cards for us now. But rest assured, it will ship in the 14 day window.…

@JulioMiles I received my 2x week order on September 3rd, I ordered a monthly subscription on September 6th. I ordered using the same email to ensure that it is a reorder. The Soylent portal doesn't reflect that. I emailed info@soylent.me and received…

Immersion blender for the win. Just use the whisk attachment (mine has removable attachments) and blend away any chunks. I've used it with Official, various DIY blends, just about anything. No clumps at all... ever! I also use Blender Bottles with the…

If you have a blender, that will definitely save it. I use a hand-held blender for all my mixing now. ("Immersion Blender.") Just makes a much smoother blend for my DIY with less effort.

MattCauble said: If you have not experienced digestive issues and you have eaten Soylent exclusively for an entire day, you will most likely not experience the issue (I do not experience the issue either). It took me several days before I started experiencing…

Thanks for the update! Yesterday was a 2 meal replacement day, but no issues. Today will be all 3. Crossing fingers! Placed a one month subscription order yesterday. Hopefully that 1-2 week delivery time is accurate or I'll run out of my current 2 week…

I can't recommend a book - most of the nutrition books I read were already dated when I got them in 1985 or 1990... And I also read some very irrational stuff in my hunt for "truth." But I can tell you that the most important and valuable source I've…

Tagging @MattCauble here to take a look. @Neebs57 @frank_crook

I'm in a similar situation. I ordered my subscription on the 4th, but I was doing my best to wait until the 18th to ask, since it's meant to be a 1-2 week delay. We may feel like this only from witnessing so many people asking about their subscription,…

I was able to find Blender Bottles at Walmart. The thing is, you have to go to the pharmacy section and look for the whey protein. You can usually find them in the same isle.

Week 2 officially done and down another 6lbs making a total loss of 11lbs in 2 weeks. Was at 255 and now at 244. Only used soylent sparingly though since some days I forgot to grab it or make it and ended up just eating 1 meal a day to keep calories…

Hello everyone, I have been following soylent for a long time. Unfortunately I live in Australia and for obvious reasons, I can't get soylent. I also know next to nothing about food and nutrients but know a lot of people on this forum have successfully…

9 days in to my two weeks, and no word on my subscription, how long do I wait to tag someone at Soylent to get my stuff shipped?

Not in the slightest. Why are they struggling so hard when they keep saying they have been "ramping up production" for months. I would like a straight up answer, no run around. I would still love to try this product but at this rate if I were to reorder…

This is a really great thread and a great list by OP. It basically sums up a lot of points I'm wary of, and why I'll probably end up making my own DIY at some point. As someone who has a lot of dietary intolerance's something that's made for """everyone"""…

if that one-size-fits-all miracle book existed, we'd already all be living by it. Or something like that. That said, I'd guess it all depends on what you're hoping to find in there.Does it have to confirm your own ideas? Make you hate the author? Your…

She's now getting twice the amount of vitamins and minerals she needs or should be getting. That's close to and even over the upper limit for some of them and isn't good for her.

Myprotein.com and bulkpowders.com (The two main suppliers of affordable products) do not give micronutrient info so it's impossible to fill out the micros. Only rough guesses from generic products can be given, so I just leave it blank.

I'd like to see how a liquid diet would fair, and was wondering if there was a DIY recipe that just happens to be composed of easy-access ingredients for a nutritionally-balanced daily diet? Would probably just try it for a few days, but ideally, if it's…

obviously signing up to their mail list was a complete waste of time...........

Dang, good finds. I've been looking into alternatives for my vitamin supplement, and I may try 'Nature-Made Multi For Him' in the future. It is missing a few minerals, but half of the lacking nutrients are filled to excess with my oat flour and rice protein…

We are working on testing incremental improvements to the formula and putting them into production batches when we can. We are working to solve all of the issues that have been discussed on new releases of Soylent. We do them incrementally so that we…

If you ordered one month of Soylent in April, then you should have received it by now. Can you PM me your email so I can check your order to see if it shipped to the wrong address or something?

You can use a couple of spoons to break up the bigger chunks for soaking overnight.

It's hard to get 80 grams of fat in dry form.

Day 23-29 is up guys and gals. Check it out. fitting-pajamas.ghost.io Soylent Day 23 - 29: Easy Week and Little Gains It's been a really fast week. It's probably because I'm back to a normal food for dinner. I didn't…

Yes, that's a good combination, but not dry...We prefer to prevent rancidity with tight lids with temper evident seal in our bottles.

Let it soak for a while (preferably overnight), and give the pitcher another good, long shake before pouring yourself a glass. Even if the chunks are still around, I don't think they're annoying enough to throw out ~$10 worth of food.

I added oil to the batch I was making before I mixed and now there are a bunch of chunks in the pitcher. Should I just throw this batch out or is it redeemable?

They're giving 4-5 months as the ETA on new orders. Does that answer the question?

Quick post -I found an Omega 3 solution that doesn't involve fish oil, and doesn't have the rancidity concerns of flaxseed oil. Camelina oil. It has a great Omega 3 / 6 ratio, without the rancidity concerns. Camelina plus MCT, period, seems like a great…

Sometimes a tampon gets left behind in there and starts causing problems. This has happened to two different women I know so I'm not just making this up. Hopefully this isn't because of the Soylent, that would suck.

Lithium is common in soil, but it varies from region to region, so the amount in Soylent would depend entirely on where the ingredients are sourced from. If not measured, it's entirely possible to end up with a deficiency or surplus. I'm guessing Soylent…

Nicely adapted. I have a biscotti recipe that now I know will work.

Not complete but pretty close: Nutribar: Nutritional info It's marketed as a meal replacement

Exactly why I felt like asking. Also I was just asking, not asking for restitution or anything. Just a straight answer for a wannabe customer

It's only 1/2 a day though (2 servings) - so works out quite pricey. But everything in Australia costs a lot more than in the US so it's not surprising (and I'm sure the bulk rate will be cheaper). I'm currently paying about $480AU total to get 1 month…

And, it's always possible that your GF has another problem, like an infection, unrelated to the Soylent and vitamin supplements.

If they returned your money, what more do they owe you? I would say nothing. If this is a roundabout way of asking when the order queue will shorten to under a month, they haven't been forthcoming with predictions like that for months now. Even if you…

There were a lot of changes between Rob's early experiments on himself and the actual pre-production versions of Soylent. That same post talks about Rob overdosing on potassium, and comparing it to overdosing on magnesium... I suspect the reasons Lithium…

Pasó mucho tiempo! Nadie encontró nada? yo sigo buscando pero está difícil!

There are still more nutrients that may play a role in depression. One is choline, a precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Various amino acids are also neurotransmitters themselves or precursors. There's actually a heritable form of depression…

I ordered a weeks worth of soylent in feb 2014 as a backer. I had to refund that order in august after the continued delays, I needed the money for other things. My question... Will I ever have a real chance of getting soylent if I order in the future?…

I read the recent NYTime's opinion article on lithium, then did cursory search, and found that lithium was added to Soylent as a supplement -- at least in trials in 2013 -- I can't find it mentioned by Rob since this blog post. The Soylent 1.0 ingredients…

Make sure you're doing this in context of an actual recipe. Oat flour and different protein powder have various trace components already in them (naturally, for oat flour, and from added items in protein powders.) You're doing pretty well if all you…

Gotcha, I had seen the member price at $73, but hadn't checked for bulk discounts.

I buy them in sets of 10 for the member price of $52.13. The Amazon price is $59.49.

Actually, that's cheaper than @axcho's able to send a one-day sample (to the U.S.), and much cheaper than an American can buy a one-day sample of Soylent on eBay.

It's pretty straightforward: she's getting her multivitamin in her Soylent. Just look at a packet for clarity.

I used lee's original recipe, but spread it out like brownies and baked it in a dish. I had to bake them at 325 for 25-30 minutes, and they came out with a great texture. I cut them into little bars and they are delicious! Even my girlfriend who hates…

Some people have been happy with the one-a-day women's multivitamins. They don't have crazy high amounts like others do.

Orange Julius or some other smoothie shop would be nice. Would be cool to be able to walk up and order Soylent smoothie with pineapple, oranges, bananas, etc.

the site is now showing sample packs for sale. a little pricey, $13 for a days worth, which includes a $3.50 delivery charge. its half a day of both flavors. enough to confirm the taste and texture , but not enough to check any flatulence or other issues.…

I agree there is no way McDonalds will team up with Soylent. But wouldn't it be wonderful? I'm going on a road trip for two weeks and would love to just pull up to McDonalds and order 1 Soylent meal all mixed and cold. As @livingparadox said, nutrition…

I am a 1-week backer and I am very lazy. I haven't got any emails yet so there is nothing to track. Feb 14, 2014 so I was a little late in the game. I doubt by the time I get mine, few people will care anymore. I'm going on a two week trip tomorrow so…

I assume the doctor recommended it before she started getting her micronutrients from her food. If you would like to convince her to stick with Soylent, you may want to point out all the things in the vitamin that are also in Soylent. I personally stopped…

She started the multivitamin on advice from a doctor so its going to be tough deciding which one to cut out.

Haha, yeah. Multivitamins are for compensating for a poor diet. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense on a nutritionally complete diet. Plus, some of the vitamins might be up at dangerously high levels when combined with Soylent. When it comes to nutrition,…

If Soylent takes a big enough chunk the market that McD and company feels threatened, then I don't think Rosa Labs needs to be concerned. That said, I'm not sure the arrangement would work very well. Soylent doesn't have a thick enough profit margin…

Here's a quick recipe (my first!) with this combination in a low carb version of Clean Fuel. Could be tweaked but it's in the ballpark. http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/clean-fuel-premium-b

That's exactly what I said! She wants to quit Soylent but I think dumping the vitamins is the smart move. Thanks!

Because the fast food industry has a lot of money and resources that could be helpful if soylent were to team up with them. Also because if McDonalds starts feeling threatened, they'd have the money to end up on top. McDonalds has the money to throw into…

Why is it a bad idea for Soylent be at odds with fast food?
