I'm hoping they will offer more flexible plans once they're able too.

Most these cover electrolytes cholesterol triglycerides red and white blood cells liver function renal function. If your looking at vitamin levels probably the one I would pick is vitamin d 125. That is the active form if vitamin d. Unless you have reason…

Simpler and safer to pop a caffeine pill on the side? That way you know you're getting the exact dose.

Thanks, I go to the doctor tomorrow to ask for the referral. I'll be sure to ask for those. I'm new to getting blood tests, will those tests cover:vitamin and mineral levels?size of LDL particles?Testosterone and HGH levels?Leptin and Insulin sensitivity?

Complete metabolic panel, lipid panel, CBC this is what I did

Soylent order just arrived and I want to go get some blood tests before I start to get my 'pre' values. I don't know what all will come with the standard panel, but are there any specific tests you wish you had done that didn't come?Or any that you plan…

Hey Bones, Sorry about this confusion. We migrated over to a different subscription handler on June 10th so everyone that signed up before that has it set to that date. You also should have received an email regarding the delay for the customers who…

Ah well I didn't measure anything at all actually. I just dumped a bit of PB2 into a jar, then poured in a bit of Soylent, and mixed it with a knife. I almost always overestimate the liquid when I do this, so then I just keep adding PB2 until I get…

Hey James, Looks like your shipment fell off the truck. So I am printing a label for tomorrow to be overnighted. Really really sorry about this and I wish I wasn't kidding. We sent that email to everyone that fell through the cracks. I have already…

You wanna try it? It just occurred to me that I might be liable if somebody wanted to be a dick. PM me and we'll work something out.

Well I wish I had your energy. Keep it up

I'm telling you, I'm bouncing off the walls!

Ahhhhhhh you edit it. That was funny

Lol thats funny. Why write all that?

From my first day, I experienced the problem with gas that a lot of people have reported. Since everyone is suggesting a slower introduction, I decided to try again.

I'm bumping my thread because I feel amazing on my recipe with fresh vegetable juice instead of kale and carrot powders. You can get the ingredients at TrueNitrition.com and your local organic grocer. I feel so good that I'm no longer worrying about…

I decided this was a silly idea. Chalk it up to excess energy!

How would wheat protein and pea protein fair as a combo? I've found pea protein for as cheap as 5 USD a pound.

Thank you very much. =) My pace of consumption doesn't match any existing subscription plan. Alas!

Vanclute, I've never made PB2 before, can you give me an estimation of how much Soylent went into the PB2?What I'm picturing is you make up the spread, put it on bread or toast for a meal, but only got maybe 1/10 or 1/20 of your daily Soylent consumed.…

No problems for me. I'm on my fourth reorder (please, I know. I'm not rubbing it in anyone's face, I'm merely stating how many shipments I've had to establish a history of experience in order to answer the question ) and all is well. Why FedEx? dunno.…

I just want to second Jeff's warning. Be careful with caffeine powder and get a good scale. People have been hospitalized and died at doses between 1 and 2 grams. I have been thinking about adding caffeine to my mix as well, but it would be one of the…

That's right. Anyone who ordered recently is not going to be getting it in the 10-12 week time frame originally mooted.

They clearly expect you to put in more than .6 liters of ice.

@MattCauble I received a shipping email yesterday saying my shipment was being overnighted. When I go to the tracking number it looks like it hasn't been shipped out or even picked up by FedEx. Then I just got an email saying that my 'first' subscription…

It's my understanding that if you were an original backer, you can cancel your subscription and when you go back and resubscribe using the same email, you will get your order in the 1-2 week timeframe. EDITED to quote from @ana from a different thread:…

I did caffeine in my DIY for about a month. I didn't really notice a difference and so just stopped. Oddly enough I do add it in the morning when I'm taking care of my 3 year old daughter. I take allergy medicine in every morning and it only affects me…

I plan to be on this basically forever, to be honest. This is my long term solution. Only about 3 weeks in, but have no desire to stop.

This is something I'd like to see the company solve somehow. Right now, there is way too much room for "pilot error" in the use of Soylent. Water ratios, oil amounts, soaking time, oil timing, temperature... so many places someone can go wrong and have…

Original backer here with an initial 2 month order so I've had it for a while. I've had a few reorders via the monthly subscription already. I've been sharing with my dad who is going to set up his own subscription soon. I'll probably end up dropping…

I don't consume enough Soylent to keep a monthly subscription going all the time. However, I do want to resume it before I run out. ATM, I have enough for another 6 weeks, easy. How long should I allow for? 1 week, 2? (This reads a lot like a word problem…

No problem, I feel your pain with the wait. I ordered back in November, but I put Blaine Washington as the address. (there are businesses there which will let you ship to them and they hold it for a small fee) I just got the email saying it was dropped…

I'm not optimistic... I'm still bitter from mine being estimated to be shipped by May at the latest. I will be shocked if I have it in 2 months.

dannyready said: It still makes me upset that they are filling the re-orders of those who already received it over those who haven't received any yet. I'm sure you will feel otherwise once you are yourself requiring re-orders. In any case, at the rate…

On top of everything though... I still don't know where my second shipment is or if it'll go through. It shows I have a canceled subscription, but there are no invoices. I was definitely charged already though... Still confused on this.

Ah that's where the confusion came in. It still makes me upset that they are filling the re-orders of those who already received it over those who haven't received any yet.

Neebs57 said: You're subscription won't arrive until 1-2 weeks after your initial order. Which won't arrive until they get to shipping late 1 week orders. dannyready said: So if I were to just order a brand new set in May, I would have gotten everything…

That's the one. And the new orders are being delayed so they can focus on the remaining backer orders. As neebs said, backers still have priority.

No. May 6th and on orders won't ship until all backers have

@livingparadox The first one was through the soylent.backkit site. Not sure if that was crowdtilt or not. @Neebs57 So if I were to just order a brand new set in May, I would have gotten everything faster than ordering in January? That doesn't make…

That's disconcerting... The first order was through crowdtilt, correct? If so, I believe their current policy is they won't provide estimates for individual orders. But the whole mass of backer orders is supposed to be fulfilled by about two and a…

Just adding myself to the data pile. I had the same issue. It has been resolved as of today.

Thanks @MattCauble. I'll look for my email by end of week, as well, since I usually get my reorder by now. All kinds of anxious, but I know you guys are on it..

You're subscription won't arrive until 1-2 weeks after your initial order. Which won't arrive until they get to shipping late 1 week orders. You have to reregister with the new site to see your info. There was an email on how to do this 2 months ago…

My pleasure! It's a little weird that I associate farting with Soylent now though.

Thank you for a great mid-afternoon chuckle!

@ana Confused. I placed a 1 week order 6/10/14 but received an email saying my order would be delayed.

Alright... I did that, but it says that I have no invoices at all. All my credit card information is in there, and I was charged, but there's no information. The payment history area is blank. Edit: Went back to my Credit Card company. I found the transaction.…

Ok! I'll try that. Hopefully all goes well. Let's hope my shipping date is reasonable.

My only issue with them is they don't deliver to my house address. If I know in advance I just use a friend's address in a nearby town. I've never had any shipping errors from them though.

@grumm I believe she may have been talking to me, as this was originally a thread regarding my order. @ana If I am correct in assuming this, I appreciate the information and still eagerly await your product.

Will keep reordering. It's a diet staple now.

If you ordered through the website you have to create an account using the email you supplied during the order process. The account is not automatically created. One you make the account, you'll be able to manage/view your subscriptions. It's definitely…

I received my shipping notification last Wednesday for my starter kit and Thursday for my Soylent (1 month). According to FedEx both of my packages are expected to be here tomorrow but also according to FedEx both of my packages are in Sacramento CA (I…

Yeah I think maybe the instructions are off. The recommended amount of water for making it with bottle vs blender is different. 1 L of water + full pouch of soylent amounts to about half of the pitcher that comes with it so I just fill up the rest of…

Thanks! I'm still very hopeful that Soylent is going to work as well as I expect! I just don't like that some red tape is getting in the way.

tagging @MattCauble here so he can look into this for you.

Tordenskjold said: can you do me a favor and measure the pH of the water used also? (and how much?) Yes, absolutely. Just because my water may be 5.8 doesn't mean yours will be the same. Actually, kind of intrigued to see if my tap PH has changed…

Thanks! I am almost out!

Mine says the same thing.(Your next billing is on 01-Jan-2015.) I ordered in early may, but at the bottom it says 'Signed up on 10-Jun-2014. Your first delivery will be made 10-12 weeks after your signup date.' I was charged when I placed my order, shouldn't…

I agree. That is very concerning.

So I originally ordered in early January of this year. 1 week of soylent. ($65) After the launch, I purchased some through the subscription method ($130) for two weeks/14 bags. (May 7th) So far, I have yet to receive any word on either of them. I saw…

ana said: Right now we have not identified your order as one affected by a delay. @ana I think there needs to be some clarification on this issue. Because I initially had the same impression that I should have received this email as well, and I sort…

For ingredients list clarity, I wasn't really thinking about the packaging, more the web/blog posts about the contents. Soylent's been all about transparency, and @rob has mentioned pH a few times in posts, so I was expecting to find it pretty easily…

Cool! That would be great. Gracias.

Interesting observation... the aftertaste of Soylentbutter is REALLY yummy. Kindof like what I noticed the first week or so of Soylent, how I had this constant pleasant aftertaste. This is different of course, but it's quite yummy... and different from…

Right now we have not identified your order as one affected by a delay. If that changes, we will send you an email directly. I am sorry for the lack of clarity regarding the delays and confusion on the forums, but any delays will be communicated directly…

If you place a new order on the site with the same email address you used for your crowdfunding order, it will be considered a reorder and will get to you within 1-2 weeks

It's official. Soylentbutter is quite tasty! Frankly it doesn't taste wildly different from just regular PB2 reconstituted with water. But I'm quite certain that nutritionally speaking, this makes for an AWESOME spread. It's also just a tad sweeter…

If you place a new order on our site with the same email address you used for your crowdfunding order, it will be considered a reorder and will get to you within 1-2 weeks! Thanks for your support!

OK that's it. Testing time. I'm going to use liquid Soylent as the water content to mix up some PB2. I shall report shortly...

vanclute said: I bet you could mix some of that with Soylent powder and use just enough water to make it into a paste and it would work out nicely. Okay it's on! If anyone tries this, please report back on "Soylent Butter." vanclute said:

I moved a post to an existing topic: My Subscription Moved to 2015, Check Yours

Since the thread was locked prematurely and without an answer of a fix . . . continuing the discussion from My Subscription Moved to 2015, Check Yours: JulioMiles said: @casssax @Daiceman both your shipments will be sent out tomorrow. There are still…

yeah, that was my bad -- I took note that the issue had been acknowledged, and ended up closing it before an actual fix announcement had come in. I'll move your post over to that thread, and lock this one up.

I had to complain on the forums for them to send me a notification about this. Which seems to be standard operating procedure for them, since none of their automated processes seem to be efficient whatsoever.

This is redundant, but a sweet-dark chocolate thank you for the analysis.Please post a variant to Reddit if you haven't already.

There isn't even pH labeled on a Coca Cola @gannas since you are going to measure the pH anyway... can you do me a favor and measure the pH of the water used also? (and how much?) + what pH is right after water added, and pH some hours later.

Well now I have another option for breakfast tomorrow. Soylent PB and jelly toast with coffee. I have an opened bag I am willing to sacrifice some for in the name of science.

I used the chocolate/peanut butter powder PB2. I mixed that in, and it was pretty good! However, it added quite a few calories (about 40 per tablespoon, and it takes 2-3 at least to make a sizeable difference). I prefer to add Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa.…

Interesting thought for sure! I already use PB2 powdered peanut butter but have never tried to make "Soylent butter". I bet you could mix some of that with Soylent powder and use just enough water to make it into a paste and it would work out nicely.

For whatever my personal experiences are worth... My daily "energy regimen" pre-Soylent contained around 150mg of caffeine taken twice daily. I had been taking pretty regularly for years. When I started on Soylent, I stopped all other supplementation…

I'll tag @ana, @JulioMiles, and @MattCauble so they see this.

So I've been reading around and people keep referencing some extended delay email that was recently sent out stating that shipments have been delayed another 8-10 weeks. Is this a legitimate delay? Is my order somehow immune to this as I was not notified?…

I've seen a couple of the "hippie/vegan" foods have a PH on the label, but no regular, "mass-market" foods.

Tagging @Tesseract to merge the threads.

I've never done it, but a lot of the nootropics guys are using it in their stack. Caffeine would make the taste really bitter, I would think.

I'm not exactly sure why you are surprised by Soylent's lack of PH information in the ingredients list. I'd be surprised to find it on any ingredients list, as I've never seen it before and I don't even know where it would go on there... I'm curious…

I'm thinking about making it into Soylent peanut butter, like the kind you could spread on toast or something.

I have a PH meter... if I can find it I will test next time I mix up a batch. I think I still have some reference solution to calibrate it.

I know the instructions mention adding a couple of teaspoons of peanuts butter to 16oz of Soylent for flavoring.

When I mixed Soylent 1.0 into a paste it looked almost like peanut butter. Has anyone mixed their Soylent 1.0 like this and added some peanut butter for flavor? It looks like it would make an incredible spread.

I've done enough Googling and discourse trawling without finding the answer. Anybody know? I'm using it with oil, but ph without is interesting too, and I suppose we would need to factor in the affect the recommended amount of water would have.I'm mildly…

I'm working my way through a 4-month initial order. 2+ months in so far. I definitely see myself re-ordering, but I would also love to see a version that gets more of its calories from protein rather than carbs. I would switch to an official Soylent…
