Normally I mix 1.6L of water with a pouch of Soylent to get to 2L finished product. So I would guess you would want to add 1.6/5L or about .32L which is about 10oz of water. So mix 1/5 bag of Soylent with about 10-11oz of water to get the right mix.…

Recently got my hands on Official Soylent...glad it tastes better than my DIY stuff...I read that it tastes like Malt Milk shake...and yes...i taste that a bit...but what I taste MUCH MUCH STRONGER is a favorite treat from my younger years. Sweetened…

to prevent clumping...add the oil AFTER you have shaken up the soylent with water...oil touching the raw powder causes clumping for me... Water....powder...(close) shake...(open) add oil and top off with water...shake shake shake...haven't had issues…

Yes, if you used to large portions - first time you may feel hungry (mental inertia). I noticed it for myself and had similar reports from customers. Your brain and body need around 3 days to adjust.

We calculated group order for France customers and found shipment cost very attractive. How very? - almost similar to US costs... How many people needed? - 3-4 person to one address with One month order each will be enough.

@JulioMiles - I had tried contacting info@soylent.com for the same reason, but got a reply on July 2nd from 'Mugeni' stating that it wasn't possible to increase the subscription size, and that I should wait until I got my first shipment before placing…

According to the answer by Dietitian - you're right. Regarding the products.... Thanx.But on the Powdered Foods Marketplace you can find more nice products from other DIY-producers.

Just signed up so can't PM yet - feel free to PM me. And this thread will probably get shut down since sales aren't supposed to be done on the forums any longer

I recently received my one month order of Soylent. After trying it for a few days, even though it is a fine product, I have decided to stick with my DIY recipe. As it stands, I currently have three weeks of Soylent in unopened boxes (each box is a week's…

Awesome customer service!!! Thank you so much!!! Now to wait for the soylent to arrive!!! I saw that extra orders of soylent gets quicker shipping on the website... When I get to log in, it doesn't accept my email and PW... I'm one of the original backers...

That's a great idea. A Starter Kit ordered from the website could contain the pitcher, a scoop, and a bag of Soylent in the pitcher.

How much Soylent and how much fish oil should I measure out and use per 16oz bottle of water? I am going to PAX this weekend and am planning to carry around a small horde of bottled water each day and a couple packs of Soylent. Some for myself and some…

discourse.soylent.me What is the PH of Soylent? Ok folks, here are the results... Calibrated with a 7.0 reference solution, original reading before calibration was 6.9 so the tester was in very good shape to begin with.…

Totally uninitiated on this topic but the bags don't seem to be vacuum sealed and they don't ship with any desiccants inside so I would imagine it would be okay for Soylent, provided the container is bone dry. I always did like those little push-button…

How bad of an idea is it to transfer the powder to another container so they aren't separated in individual bags? Would it put the product at risk for being exposed to the elements and being combined into one receptacle? I have had a scenario where one…

Yep--the oil conveniently comes in bottles smaller than the TSA 3-oz. max, so you can bring as many as you can put in a quart-size ziploc baggie (along with any other liquids you're carrying on).

I'd definitely love to see more subscription options (in the vein of Dollar Shave Club, allowing shipments to be occasionally skipped and allowing subscribers to add extras to a shipment before it goes out) along with a few different nutritional varieties…

Love the taste and convenience of Soylent. Wish they could offer different Macro Ratios, or provide a verified Glycemic index for their product. I don't really want to DIY so I'm hanging with the official version for now. Also I'd love to hear about…

This is a great idea. Dollar Shave Club does a really good job on this and it would work well with Soylent, too.

For me, as a Canadian, International shipments are a big project. While it seems simple, the barriers between the countries are greater than you might think. For instance, when I ordered a month's worth of 100%Food, I got a brokerage bill for $121 a few…

Good question. I would love for them to offer a high-quality, lower-calorie Soylent without artificial sweetener and empty kcal from Maltodextrine. I'm sure there are many of us willing to pay the additional cost. Most likely the last thing on Rob's mind…

I think that once they ramp up production so where anyone who wants soylent can get it within a week they will run into a new challenge within 6 months: DIY. They're going to have to provide some sort of additional value to intice users to give them money…

Salut @Tronce , ce message pour m'assurer de la dernière version de la recette de ton Absŏlūtus Pōtĭo. Est-ce bien la version 1.1 ? Par ailleurs continues-tu toujours d'en consommer ? Merci pour tes précieuses explications distillées dans cette discussion…

You can absolutely take oil in carryon domestic or international as long as you meet TSA guidelines. Done it

Hm... I've had similar experiences on iron and magnesium supplements.

I think that traveling in the USA with the oil should not be a problem, as long as you don't put them in your carryon bag. I would definitely make sure the lids are tight, and put them in a plastic bag to keep them from leaking all over the clothes in…

Obnoxious vegan subscriber here. I'm not actually vegan, but I work overseas, and my "onward shippers" won't ship anything with more than 12 oz of liquid, so... I was one of the very last backers in April or May 2014. My initial two-week vegan supply…

I don't have my Soylent yet (2-week December order), but have been using a sleep cycle app for the past two years on my phone. I'll share the data when I get it, but it should be pretty easy to see if there's a noticeable difference.

I've been on Soylent for about a week now, using it for about 2/3 of my meals and eating dinner with my wife. I found almost immediately that was easier to wake up in the morning after moving to Soylent. The alarm would go off, and while I wanted to stay…

My recipe is just over 3 cups of powder + 1 quart milk, which makes about 6 cups. I usually add about 1-2 more cups of water.

FYI, I bought it off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CYAIRG8/ Don't know about the shipping to Australia...

I've posted a couple videos on my experience travelling with Soylent. You can catch the first one here:

After Rosa Labs ships all the Soylent to its customers, where do they go from here? (excluding getting international shipments started) Where would you want them to go, i.e. lower price point, flavors, nutritional varieties, charity distribution, more…

During the first two weeks I would take a digestive supplement about every other day - helped a lot. My body is also fairly used to it all by now (week 3). I also only replace 2 meals/day. I've been doing crossfit for the last two weeks - soylent is…

I personally add ~3 cups of water per meal. I start with 1 cup and then add the powder (it makes it a lot easier to mix this way) and then add two more cups. I like mine very thing though so it's mostly preference.

Very very very well done. @rob - why not have a resident dietician on the forum too, to dispel all the myths people come up with?

I'm interested, but the webpage it's entirely in czech... and with google translate only serves products to Czech Republic.

Grilling commenced. I'm starting with some of the questions I've had for nutritionists and also some branching from his introduction. Hopefully this conversation provides a suitable validation of his credentials.

@JulioMiles @MattCauble I have an interesting query... I want to buy one of the pitchers you have since I cant find something here similar or cheaper here in Australia. At the same time would it be possible to put in a single day of soylent as a "taster…

I personally mix my daily batch with ~1.5 quarts of water, to make a finished mix of a little under 2 quarts. This seems to be the most popular ratio, but don't be afraid to play around with the amount of water you use, you may find you like it a little…

6 pH is not really "acidic" in compared to normal tap water. As you will find water can be anywhere between 6-8 depending on where you live (minerals in the water). Another forum member tested how much Soylent lowered the pH, I suggest searching for the…

How much do you use?

I'm keen to know your experience with T25 too. When I did Insanity the first time I was having knee issues, but this time (at the suggestion of personal trainer friend) I've been taking tart cherry and haven't been experiencing the issues. I'm not sure…

Hi @Spaceman - I didn't ask a question about the best formula for the Insanity workout. I made the point that when doing an incredibly intense cardio workout like Insanity, your body must have fuel to push through it, and unless you're in ketosis and…

Whatever amount makes it most palatable to you. You're going to be drinking extra water on the side.

I ordered 2 weeks back in November, and also signed up for a 4-week subscription. I just got an email saying that some soylent is finally shipping to me. Great! What's not so great is that the email says 4 weeks of soylent is coming. How the heck does…

This may be a stupid question but I cant find the answer anywhere. I'm about to get my ingredients for my diy soylent but I don't know how much water to mix in! Please help!

2 weeks I assume? When did you order (If you don't mind me asking)

Just got my Soylent in today. My first batch is sitting in the fridge for tomorrow.

Hey @anthonyrj - why do you think so? Although, I have a better idea - let's ask a Registered Clinical Dietitian about that. Powdered Foods Marketplace recently teamed with one, let's check his opinion. I posted your question about best formula for…

Hi @jrowe47 - you may turn on your grill... A Registered Clinical Dietitian with background in Food Science and powdered food products is waiting for your questions in "Ask the Dietitian" category on Powdered Foods Forum.

Thank you very much for you input MentalNomad. Very informative and interesting. Eases my mind a lot.

In my original post up there I stated that I use 1/3 cup of oil. I have since decreased that to 1/4 cup (60ml) per day, but when my 1/4 cup measuring cup is dirty and I don't feel like washing it, I just estimate using the 1/3 cup. I'm only 125 lbs…

Thanks @MattCauble. Sent you a PM as per your instructions

I'm typically only having Justin Fuel 1 or 2 times per day. I may try the oil when I am home, with access to a dishwasher or more blender bottles.

3 teaspoons of salt per day seems like a reasonable amount when eating mostly savory foods. It probably wouldn't taste that good in a day's worth of slightly-sweet soylent. Maybe there are analogues of salt that provide the sodium without the saltiness?…

Is it any surprise that so many people are mis-nourished? Even when we consciously make the effort to make good choices, the labels are misleading or even downright deceptive. With a label that prominently claims "Omega 3 Fish Oil Blend: 1000mg" it's…

Yes, while members are still new, they can't post images or send private messages. I'm not sure exactly what it takes to get off "new" status. But Julio Miles said they'll be shipping you a new pitcher, so no photo needed.

I took a picture but can't upload yet because I'm new to the forum???

Your Soylent order will be shipping soon, and we'll get you a new pitcher shipped out tomorrow. Thanks for your support!

They are separate shipments, with the kit usually arriving just before the Soylent, and regarding your broken pitcher part, tagging @JulioMiles--

I'd the starter kit and soylent separate shipments??? I received the starter kit but not the soylent... Also... The plastic o ring on the cap for the pitcher is broken...

sure, thanks, I just wanted to share

Hey @minimalistgoals -- it's fine to share an idea or a new product you've found, but the double post/new user/link/short message combo is tripping the Discourse spam detection. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just sharing something…

MANA is a czech product, and we ship in a few weeks (usually less than 10!) all over Europe and the rest of the world!The price is very good, similar to soylent. Look at mojemana.cz (english version coming soon).Feel free to ask anything.

look at MANA, it's similar and it's european!

Starting from next week, you can order MANA, it's a finished product, just like soylent! There will be shipping options for the whole world!

That would mean between 1.5625 - 3.1250 teaspoons of salt daily. 1 teaspoon == 1920mg 3000 / 1920 == 1.5625 teaspoons 6000 / 1920 == 3.1250 teaspoons

Today's batch was made with Lipton's Peach Mango White Tea. They're the little pyramid bag ones. It's also delicious. Not quite what I was expecting, but sort of like if a creamsicle was flavored with peach and mango instead of orange. Very very good.…

I'm using LEF's "LEF Mix Powder", which contains a fairly long list of phytonutrients. The flavor is sour (lot of vitamin C) and blueberryish. It doesn't work well into the mix, flavor-wise, so I've switched to taking it separately when I use chocolate…

hmm but 6 grams of Sodium would be a total of 15 grams of salt :3 sounds like a lot. since Soylent contains 1gram sodium already basically, that would be 12.5 grams of Salt extra in Soylent to reach the 6 grams sodium. Something tells me they really…
