My old roommate couldn't handle our DIY because of grittiness, I had him try this and he loved it, so long as by the end of mixing, a day of Soylent is almost 2L of liquid. Personally, I prefer it a little thicker, but when it's thinned out it seems…

I would also like to see this.

Updated - (almost) 2 weeks on Soylent official

So does his girlfriend/wife.

Merci pour ces réponses rapides.Je pense qu'il est compréhensible de ne pas vouloir le lancer dans ce projet sans l'avoir essayé. Du coup, ton projet de structure l'intéresse vraiment, essayes de nous tenir au courant. A bientôt.

Salut Hugo,Bienvenu ! Oui il est possible de mélanger prise de soylent et repas classique. Par contre si tu compte faire ce mélange dans une même journée il va falloir adapter le dosage du soylent. Pour la quantité des produits à acheter, oui tu es…

Bonsoir, à toutes et à tous.Grâce au reportage fait par Canal+, j'ai découvert ce nouveau moyen de s'alimenter. Mais n'étant pas certain de pouvoir "survivre" à cette alimentation je me pose plusieurs questions - est-il possible de concilier Soylent et…

Ronald McDonald might come out of the middle of nowhere and b%^$c slap that Soylent out of your hand!

I'll pray for you, too.

I wonder what would happen if you were staring at a picture of a cheeseburger while drinking?

That is pretty crazy. I guess maybe when you let someone else try it, say, "it should taste like _____" and then see what they say. Pretty cool how the mind can trick you, and another good reason it has such a neutral taste.

This is a great post!

Maybe we should try this on the media. "This is the powder you are looking for, and it tastes like the best thing in the world".

CarltonLemley said: EDIT: Used the wrong form of "you're". I am ashamed. Let the punishment suit the crime! Castor oil flavored Soylent for you! < /jedi mind trick > CarltonLemley said:

That's awesome. I tried it too. It was definitely not grape, but it did impart a different flavor, though the aftertaste was still quite familiar. I can totally see this becoming a "thing". What's that you're using to flavor you're Soylent? Vanilla?…

I haven't experienced any noticeable change nearly 72 hours into an all-Soylent diet. I'm not sure what's caused the issue for others, but I'm praying my luck holds out.

You dirty son of a biscuit. lol

Just got my Soylent shipment email! I might get my official order before I get the bag from Crowdtilt.

With great powder, comes great responsibility. LOLOLOLOL!!! That's awesome.

Hah... That's pretty cool! Not sure I can trick myself quite so easily but I'm game to try! Wow I think you may kinda be onto something. I'm killing time waiting for my car to get serviced and have my soylent with me. I decided to imagine it being…

It definitely varies from person to person. My other half had barely any issues at all but she already took a lot of supplemental fiber and I took a lot less. I'm not really sure there's any generic one-size-fits-most answer here, you'll probably just…

People are saying the gassy period lasts about a week. If I do a 50/50 Soylent/conventional diet, will it take me twice as long to get through that period? Also: The speculation (by the gastroenterologist in the NYT video and others) is that the oats…

Thanks, @NoFlames,Matt confirmed that we can self-pick up at their office 370 Townsend street.I will plan to do it today. Will post a photo asap.

Seems like prices have gone back up on ebay

The radio thing is nice because they're just describing the actual technology used, although "terrestrial" is an analogue to "space" or "orbital" rather than "satellite." In an IQ test, the question "space is to earth as satellite radio is to _____,"…

Like we have Web 2.0, I would call Soylent and soylent Food 2.0 Because it is a somewhat logical consequence and next evolutionary step of food while still supporting traditional / old school food either partially or completely (according to the choices…

gilahacker said: Also, Soylent is to @vanclute as canned spinach is to Popeye. LOL!!! Not quite sure I can go that far, but then again I haven't tried to lift any 2-ton barbells lately either! gilahacker said:

Yeah I'm pretty sure it would. A single bag of Soylent fits perfectly and with even a touch of room to spare - probably just enough for a bottle of oil. I think you're probably home free on that one.

@rob @JulioMiles @ana - Any chance we could get the specifics for the following nutrients? I tried entering official Soylent in as an ingredient on http://diy.soylent.me, but had a hard time trying to figure these out: Chloride Sulfur Monounsaturated…

Yes they are in San Francisco.

Thanks @jahhluv101 - they sent me the same update, just missed.But if they offer to pick up as @NoFlames suggests, it's a good idea. Are they in SF?

I replied and said I don't need a scoop to see if I could get it delivered earlier. That was over a week ago. They did say I could pick it up though, very tempting but out of the way.

If you ever want to try another whey protein, I found this one to be pretty mild tasting and used to use it in my DIY (which I gave up on long ago). I'll probably end up mixing some of it into each batch of my official Soylent when it eventually gets…

I had a feeling that Soylent was causing the delay. I know that Crowdtilt already had the Soylent and probably already had the t-shirts. Then the Soylent guys decided to add the scoops and ten days later they still don't have them.

Soylent is a nutritionally complete liquid food. Soylent is a nutritionally complete powdered food. Just add water! And some oil. Soylent is a nutritionally complete, nearly vegan, sustainable / low environmental impact, hypo-allergenic, nearly kosher,…

Done, thank you. Cheers.

As a matter of fact I just checked my email and here is what it said. Matt LeBel5:37 PM (56 minutes ago) to bcc: me Hey All- Just an update -- we're still waiting on the Soylent measuring scoops to arrive. I'll shoot out an update / tracking numbers…

Spaceman said: It seems nobody received yet...Me too, though they said of 2 days shipment... Didnt you read the email they sent you? They said that they were going to wait for Soylent to send them their scoops and then send the Soylent. Spaceman…

vanclute said: According to the USPS website, the small flat-rate box (which I suspect may fit 14 bottles) would be $5.80 inside the US. @vanclute - I have several people to ship Soylent "samples" out to once my order arrives. Any idea if the $5.80…

It seems nobody received yet...Me too, though they said of 2 days shipment... Lucky-15, how do you think - will we get it before the end of the week?

Thanks @gilahacker - yes, I'd be happy to make some DIY for you, @indianleopard. Let me know if you're interested, and we can talk more over PM. And yeah, good idea about saying "Mexico" instead of "USA".

@indianleopard - @axcho could probably make you a batch. @PurpleLizzard - You should probably update the title of this thread to say "shipping to Mexico"

Ah, I understand what you're saying now. You're in favor of a more bland category name instead of a standout one because you think it'd be unfair to Soylent to battle on two fronts. Without a deep knowledge of psychology, and perhaps some A/B testing…

I think "designer food" vs "vintage food" is most the apt categorical classification. There is already a competitor to soylent called Ambronite http://ambronite.com and both.can compete in this category. For example: if a vintage food like salmon is…

I can be an intermediary until you have a higher trust level. I'll PM both of you and pass the stuff back and forth.Edit: I sent both of you a PM, and it looks like it created a type of private thread. You two should be able to work it out in there.

Yeah, I can't figure it out either haha. Could make a throwaway email account or something and just put it on here, then give a real one with it. Or IRC or something. 2014 baby, woohoo. Do you have a scale? I don't. I'm cool with you picking it up then…

I can't figure out PMs in this system!! Just not seeing a button for it. Anyway, ping your roommate; I'd actually like three or four people on it. But two or three would be OK too. Drop me a ring when you're certain whether he's in or not. I'm OK…

Salut @FlipFlop ! Est-ce que tu utilises la recette de Tronce ou est-ce que tu fais ta propre tambouille ?Pour ma part, je commence les tests goûts et textures ce samedi (j'ai commandé les macronutriments et je vais tester plusieurs variations de la…

Looks like it's got a bunch extra of most stuff, but I probably won't eat 2200 odd calories like it has, so it seems fine to me (not that I would know haha). If you'd like, I could try and rope in a roommate of mine, we could split it into 1/3 portions,…

I like this formula here: http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/bachlore-chownexus-blendcytogain But some of the ingredients have a 150-day (or much more) supply. I don't want items sitting around until they expire... If i could split these by at least 50%…

Salut @Tronce ,tu as dis la dernière fois que tu utilisais des protéines à la vanille pour améliorer le goût. Comme tu utilises deux protéines différentes, la whey et les protéines totales, je me demandais si tu prenais les deux à la vanille ou seulement…

Pas mal pas mal... A quand le 20h de TF1 ^^ ?

Salut @Tronce !Yeah c'est génial Bravo !A bientôt.

Hm... When you say 'a very long time' what kind of time frame are we looking at? I have 8 weeks of Soylent ordered, so I doubt it will be terribly long before I get mine, but I might be interested.

Yeah I'm wondering the water ratio as well. I find that it has a texture, but nothing I would ever call "gritty"... and I'm pretty damn fussy about texture. I've heard both that a blender made it frothy and somewhat hurt the flavor, and that it makes…

What's your water to powder ratio? Adjusting that may help with texture.

I am looking for someone in the Twin Cities to split a batch of one of the Soylent formulas online. It would be a formula that most closely mirrors the USDA recommended values. The one I have in mind costs $400 for a batch of ingredients that would last…

How about a blender ball? That's what I use for my DIY...

The particles in Soylent 1.0 are by far my biggest issue with it. I'm doing all the right things WITHOUT resorting to investing in a blender. Massaging the pouch before opening to eliminate clumps Adding oil only after having added water and shaken…

If you want, you can add caffeine to your DIY. I do. I put 100mg (0.1 g) in with 200mg of L-Theanine. I got the caffeine first and it did make me a little jittery since I had been off my drug of choice, Pepsi, since I started DIY. I think about 2 months.…

Hi. Thank you for your interest. Lamentably Im basing my operations in Mexico and I have not been allowed to ship powders to the USA, therefore I will be selling only within Mexico. Im sure a keto soylent will be available soon in the USA. QuidNYC is…

it's a sugar alcohol, in moderation I'm sure it's fine but this gives me pause: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/01/whats-in-those-haribo-gummy-bears/283162/ From the Xylitol wikipedia page: As with other sugar alcohols, with the exception…

I use xylitol in my DIY in addition to chewing xylitol gum.

I'm going to remove the whey protein. It's the one I use when I go to the gym and when I bought it I wasn't really worried about the taste as I saw it as a necessary evil. Now that I may have to live on it for much longer than expected, I'll have to go…

Do you know yet which specific ingredient lends most to the offending flavor? Try tasting them individually to see what you find most revolting and experient with different brands when you find out. I know some olive oils are much better than others,…

The last is a good point. I always wipe that residue away when I'm done pouring. Since I pour basically once a day, this works well for me.

Wouldn't surprise me to find quite a few musicians in here... anyone want to start a "share your Soundcloud (or whatever) link" thread?

The Sterilite pitcher is NOT spillproof. They're a decent pitcher, but they can even leak when you shake it too hard. I don't like the way that the pour spout and lid interface- there's overlap, so whatever you have can dry on the pour spout and gum up/glue…

To be fair, some people may not be able to use their supply since it shipped at an inconvenient time and it only helps everyone to put it up. This was the case for @Jeff_Ex who I bought mine from, and he sold it at a reasonable price to boot! Side note:…

yeah, totally not fair to everyone else that those ebayers can get a constant supply to sell on ebay making tons of money while the rest of us wait for our first orders

Where are you seeing it for $130/week on ebay? All the completed listing I see for 1 week of non-vegan Soylent are in the $250-300 range. I can't believe people are willing to spend $14 per meal, which translates into $42 per day! I would expect prices…

I'm not certain this pitcher is airtight, but it is pretty close. I definitely hear a pressure pop when I open it the first morning after mixing it (IE the temperature has dropped in the fridge, reducing the pressure in the container). However, I do…

I like the Takeya Airtight pitcher because it is, well, airtight. I can't imagine what some spilled Soylent fermenting in my trunk on a hot summer day would smell like. I do want something insulated, though, in the 1-day size, to keep cool. Just ordered…

If anyone was interested, I've found that this pitcher is actually quite a good pitcher. I happened to have two on hand from a previous purchase (I bought them at Walmart years ago I believe). They are BPA free and actually seal pretty tightly. I do…

I found that sucking on a square of chocolate that is 99% cocoa helps immensely with removing the flavour off my mouth after consuming my abomination. Also, no more hunger pangs. I took a glass of it at 9am, more or less 500 calories, and am now, 12…

Redid the recipe with Lecithin this time. I had half of it for breakfast and I'm definitely feeling fuller. I suspect that's because for breakfast my stomach isn't yet expecting much solid food so I sort of got away with it. The flavour is between horrible…

Hey I was interested in purchasing your DIY keto Soylent. Please let me know how to go about getting it. Thanks!

I don't see a need at present for it in any of my recipes, but have seen that many Soylenteers prefer to chew xylitol gum.

Soylent 1.0 uses Sucralose, which appears to be harmless especially in the quantities used in Soylent. But check out Xylitol. It has a number of health benefits and no known toxicity in humans. Xylitol on Wikipedia Is this a thing for the DIY crowd?

Including a logo sticker in every package is an awesome idea. Apple does that with every product. I recommend you also include one of just the "hexagon S" logo, instead of (or in addition to) the "lowercase soylent in a rectangle" logo.

Congrats!!! Really looking forward to hearing how it goes. Just a suggestion based on my own and others' experiences... don't make yourself miserable just to stick to some arbitrary 100% Soylent goal. If you find on occasion that you just plain want…

@Sriracha, that's of course hoping that it doesn't explode in your freezer before it has a chance to cool down.

You guyyyyyyyyys!!!! It's here it's here it's finally here!!!! image.jpg3264x2448 1.78 MB Bought one month from @jeff and it finally arrived today after much wrangling with FedEx! My 100% Soylent adventure starts tomorrow! image.jpg3264x2448 1.78…

jahhluv101 said: They sent me an email to verify where to ship it about a week or more ago. Same here. I'm guessing they are waiting for Soylent/Rosa Labs to send them the scoops. jahhluv101 said:

Gotcha, yeah I'd ultimately love to see Soylent on Amazon since we do so much of our shopping there already. RandomMrdan said: On a side note, I think I've seen a number of your videos on YouTube... you and your wife have a online blog/website right?…

Gimme decals!

Marketing tag line: Soylent. We can't ship it fast enough.

@vanclute Yeah, I only brought up their FBA service because Scotch told me that Amazon sellers incur fees... but I suppose that's my fault, I should have been more clear when I initially suggested partnering with Amazon or Wal-Mart. I didn't mean to…

I think you guys might be surprised how well a die-cut auto decal might go over. It seems like this might've been the idea with the stickers shipping with the starter kits, but I'm not sure how many people would put that on a car. If you had a decal,…

Paging @lebel again. Any update on those that did a campaign with the promo code?

We're actually working on a cool "tell your friends" thing, but are understandably waiting to roll it out until we've caught up on all of the orders. Would prefer if any materials were designed by Soylent HQ, as we want to make sure we maintain brand…

FYI any one who is still interested...i just emailed info@soylent.me and asked to cancel my 28day subscription....and to leave my original 2 week order in place.

Taste: Quite good. Lightly sweet with just an overall mild flavor. Texture: Oh dear lord the grit. I let it soak for 2 days in the fridge and that just isn't enough. I'm going to cook the masa for next batch. Shouldn't take too long as it is "instant"…
