@kennufs if you click the button with the 3 bars on the top right of the screen you should get a menu. At the bottom of that menu there should be an option to login. Let me know if that doesn't work...

I've just pushed the start of a major Ingredients section overhaul. Check it out here: http://diy.soylent.me/ingredients Combined USDA database with old ingredients database - now it's just one single database. Proper text search. Doing a search for…

Some people are just more "delicate" in terms of taste and texture... in that regard, either they have to add something to Soylent to make it work for them or wait for next version... or just learn to live with it Soylent isn't suppose to be an exotic…

I got one confirmation for a 4 week subscription. Ordered on May 31st but my "timeline" says I ordered June 10th. I ordered two 4 week subscriptions so I don't know if the confirmation covered both or not.

I wanted to say thanks to Aaron and Justin and the rest of the Soylent Customer Service team for their help in clearing up an issue I had with an add-on to my order. They do a great job and are very helpful even when under extreme pressure from a large…

Yeah, decent article. However, I do wish the "cons" everyone keeps stating didn't always insist food = pleasure or that "Food selection and preparation and the act of eating are woven into the fabric of our culture, traditions, celebrations and self-expression"…

Welcome to DIY, I started the beginning of the year and haven't regretted it a bit. FYI, you don't need the MSM sulfur, your protein contains sufficient sulfur as SAA's.

I added 2 Tbsp of dark cocoa powder to a days worth and it tastes great. Recently I ran out of cocoa powder and mixed it up like normal. After all this time drinking it with cocoa, the plain Soylent tasted like a butterscotch milk shake. I tried what…

So I'm starting a 30 day soylent adventure (hopefully longer funds willing) and I've started a blog to share my experiences. Here's the recipe I'm using http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/kitira-food based off @hharris's chocolate silk. Any tips or advise…

Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth regarding bottles. While they are incredibly convenient, I found two reasons to actually not like them... and they're completely inane reasoning For my taste, I preferred a little more water than what would fit…

It's been about a week since I started using the 100% Food to make my smoothies. One thing did happen this past week to interrupt my plan: a friend got his order of Soylent and he gave me a bag to try, so I used that for two days instead. So I have a…

With using the same email as your backer order you will be recognized as an existing customer and your reorder should ship in 1-2 weeks. If you get 10 days out and have not heard form the team I would suggest and email to infor@soylent.me

@BoDuke will let me know if I'm wrong, but I think we aren't supposed to resale Soylent on this forum.

Disembodied: to have all the individual cups already HAVE their allotted soylent (ONLY the powder until ordered!) inside I suspect the issue would be getting it properly mixed. Disembodied:

Pinch to zoom should work properly now... let me know if not!

Hi all. After waiting a year, I'm happy to report I received my first shipment and have been very happy with it.Question: Using the same email address as my preorder, I placed a 'subscription' order on the new soylent.me platform months ago. Should I…

I've been on DIY soylent for a month replacing 1-2 meals a day. Making my soylent blend for breakfast is now a routine and it gives me an awesome energy boost to start the day.I initially started out blending banana, oats, milk/yogurt, canola oil, whey…

@ana VP Marketing @MattCauble COO @JulioMiles VP Communications You can delete this post/tread after you confirm things too if you like...thanks Sorry for all the hubbub....Bub

(post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in 24 hours unless flagged)

A great idea, to be sure, but I wonder if it might be just as economical, if not more so, to have all the individual cups already HAVE their allotted soylent (ONLY the powder until ordered!) inside so as to more effectively rule out measurement errors.…

Canyon: was tempted May your Soylent always be mixed, cold and ready Canyon:

I was tempted, but I didn't want to anger the Soylent Karma Gods this close to shipment.

Canyon: You might wanna edit that and remove the URL. Thx my pc locked up and I couldn't get back until I rebooted... @ana VP Marketing @MattCauble COO @JulioMiles VP Communications Please confirm no one messed with my shipping address and changed…

I have 2 1 month boxes of Soylent with oil for sale (will not break it up to 1 week boxes, too much effort and not enough time). Will sell at cost, you pay for USPS shipping. I am leaving for a 3 month business trip outside of the country this Sunday…

You might wanna edit that and remove the URL.

hlycrapitsmyles: Just an address confirmation? If I'm correct, those aren't exactly being sent in order, and don't correlate to how soon your order is coming. For example, I have a 6th May 1 week order, and received my address confirmation e-mail on…

Just an address confirmation? If I'm correct, those aren't exactly being sent in order, and don't correlate to how soon your order is coming. For example, I have a 6th May 1 week order, and received my address confirmation e-mail on 4th September.

plusEric: Man, I ordered 1 week in April and no email @ana @JulioMiles............... plusEric:

Man, I ordered 1 week in April and no email.

hm...I wonder what this means for my 4 week subscription I made 7/15

Got my email address confirmation email from a May 30th 1 week order...It mentions confirming by today... Just a fyi/update for the board....

So I'm in week 10 finally...and I just want it to come in sometime before october is over? Is this even possible? Honestly I just want some up to date info, I don't mind waiting.

So, you'd rather people keep hoarding Soylent that they won't or can't eat? Because that's exactly what would happen here if Rosa Labs enforced a policy like that. Which means it would take even longer to fulfill the regular backer orders. Ultimately,…

@Curtis2011 I just found confirmation in another thread, confirming that the salt helps with the pancake batter issue. jamescobalt: UPDATE: Now that I'm adding salt to Soylent, the sickening pancake batter flavor is gone and I'm left with something…

Yet another flaw in the system. Once someone "cancels" they should go to the end of the line in all fairness. But nope, you can cancel and then start back up from square 1, jump the line, and still have an order in hand before those who have yet to…

The Washington Post did a fairly balanced story, basically just pros and cons, but nothing new or revolutionary.

The "Pancake Batter" comparison really only works imo because of the color. To me it just tastes like a slightly-sweet vanilla powdered mix. Which is what it is. Sort of like a protein powder drink without such distinctly strong flavors from having one…

My sample pack arrived yesterday - I'm over in WA so it took a little longer - but I was away until tonight, so have only just got my hands on it. This is my first ever Soylent experience because I was never able to get hold of any of the US stuff, and…

Thanks for the info, that helps a lot! Ben L.

I initially found the Soylent to be very unappealing because of the texture. I made the entire first bag using the pitcher and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before having my first glass. I was a bit horrified trying to get the first…

Nope, I don't think it is. Or if it is, then being "regular maltodextrin" doesn't indicate similar material qualities, because tapioca maltodextrin behaves very differently than "regular maltodextrin". You need to see it. It's quite amazing stuff. If…

@spaceman, there are a lot of commercial companies that make flavor powders, but don't sell to non-commercial customers. You could probably contact a few of them, get some samples, and see if you could get them to make them for you in "sugar packet"…

r_soylent: Wow, you really spoonfed me that flavour powder I see what you did there. r_soylent:

I tried the premium mix today - smelt a lot nicer than the classic vanilla - but didn't seem to mix as well - took shaking and scraping it off the sides where normally shaking is just enough. It was OK at room temperature - quite thick but the taste…

They have indeed been saying to cancel subscriptions as they have no pause function yet. You won't lose your standing as a backer when you decide to reorder/subscribe, just remember to use the same email you had used before and it will be recognized.

Apparently Not sure how long it takes to implement the request change but in the meantime I suggest checking your links. The DIY site is a fantastic tool and i do think the programmers deserve reward though maybe in a more open way... and that's…

Nice list @asympt! I wish we could have them filled in small sachets like sugar...Than we could enclose it to every bottle!

Wait, so the DIY site will overwrite a referral code that someone has explicitly put in with one from somewhere else? Silently? What.

Wow, you really spoonfed me that flavour powder Thanks! That's amazing information.

@gasoylent it isn't a scam - the DIY site does change certain URLs to include a referral code. Feel free to put a link with your own code in the description section. I'll add an option to disable the URL changing to the feature request list.

It closes on the second to last line of the "Soylent Powder Ingredients", right after cyanocobalamin...right before Gum Acacia

The ingredients lists use a square bracket to begin the list of "vitamin and mineral blend" ingredients. I'm not seeing where this bracket is closed. Couldn't this be construed as legally changing the meaning of the labelling? This affects the list on…

Everyone's palate is different. I haven't found a DIY I really like (most of them I react to the way you're reacting to your first taste of Soylent)--but Soylent, I like just fine. You should check out the Flavoring Soylent topic, which has lots of…

Also dont add the oil until the powder has been mixed with the water for at least a few hours, then add the oil, shake and enjoy (I mixed mine up yesterday afternoon and let it sit overnight) I just started today as well For my last 20 oz of it today…

@ana Ana, could I please get somebody to reply to the email I sent to info@soylent.me regarding my subscription (Sent 9/17 by Benz98@aol.com). I need to know how to pause my monthly subscription without fully canceling it. Or should I just cancel…

I just had my first Soylent 'meal' an hour ago. It tasted fine to me. I didn't feel like I was forcing anything. It just felt like a thick milkshake with low sugar and a grainy texture. I suspect many people who are initially repulsed by powdered mixes…

The current version is low on salt, due to a recommendation of the dietician they have on-staff. This was later considered a mistake and they now recommend adding a 1/4 tsp of non-iodized salt to a pitcher to bring it up to 100%. I add about 1.5 tsps…

I didn't add any salt or anything else.

Just to confirm, are you adding salt? For me, the added salt makes a significant improvement in the taste.

I have a hard time understanding how Rob and other people are living off of mostly Soylent. I just got my 1-week order today and mixed my first batch, let it sit for a few hours and tasted it over ice. I could barely force myself to drink 1/2 cup of…

@nickp would be the one to ask about this. He maintains the DIY site.

One of the things I really appreciate about the diy site is that it allows users to link to the product they have chosen and even make use of referral codes in their ingredients links. For users who spend a considerable time coming up with helpful, affordable…

Tapioca maltodextrin is just regular maltodextrin. It's just a matter of starting with tapioca starch, as opposed to some other starch. Starch can be processed into sugar.Maltodextrin is just starch processed 15 to 20 percent of the way to sugar.So it'a…

If 3,000 is a decent number for your actual nutritional needs, and 4,000 is a goal to help induce weight gain, I'd suggest the following: Use 1.5 days of Soylent per day, to get 3,000 calories. You do not need to fear "overdosing" on anything in there;…

Huh. Didn't notice the thread necromancy.

Thank you guys. The quick response is very much appreciated.

It's a complete mixture of amino acids, fats, complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals - everything the body needs.

I'm not opposed to sharing, the only problem is that it will be time consuming to transfer the recipe out of my own spreadsheet and into this site's system.

Bit of a thread necro, yes? Amusing read, though, with the OP wanting a question answered & stating to leave out the other stuff, followed by most posts being about the other stuff. haha typical internet

No problem, natures_fusions. Wow, what a response! Just goes to show how badly the international crowd want to get their Soylent! Mine was only a week's worth, as it turns out, and I'm not looking for a re-shipping based subscription. I can wait for…

We just talked to the warehouse, and from this point forward they will be weighing each box before clearing it for shipment. Hopefully this will prevent further incidents like this.

Hey @Sixy we are overnighting your missing material. I will get you tracking as soon as it is available.

You are right indeed. Incomplete is the better word. @JulioMiles. The pitcher was received.

This topic is now closed. New replies are no longer allowed.

Responded to your new thread on this issue. Going to close this thread as it is extremely old and we are getting close to shipping all of our domestic 1-week crowdfunding orders

So it's here after almost a year...incomplete. 6 bags, no scoop, 7 bottles of oil. The disappointment.

mind sharing your recipe @r_soylent ? Looking for an oat, tapioca, whey protein recipe that tastes as good as (read similar) to official soylent.

Go buy a pitcher and scoop from Amazon, Walmart, Target or a hundred other places. You've got THE most critical ingredient to making Original Soylent...The Soylent! Don't sweat the small stuff. Search on here what capacity pitcher and scoop you'll need…

Damn, that's not good! Very sorry for the inconvenience, @Sixy -- we'll definitely get a replacement shipment out ASAP. Can you confirm that you received the pitcher? Also, please PM me your email address so I can find your order and get things rectified.

I'd bet money that there was no maliciousness involved. 'Unfulfilled' seems like the wrong word. 'Incomplete' sounds more accurate...

So after almost a year, I ordered in October of 2013, I finally received my one week order of Soylent today, 9/24/2014. After all that wait, after all the emails, and after my "One Weekers, Join me" post, it came today, UNFULFILLED. 6 bags of Soylent,…

My recipe is a spinoff of the ever popular People Chow. I have adjusted it for what I believe to be a better fat profile and a higher quality vitamin supplement. Please read all the notes before responding.

I've noticed my skin isn't nearly as dry as it was before. My cuticles in particular have improved. They used to dry, crack, bleed, and get infected. If my bathroom scale is to be believed (I'm very suspicious of its reading) my body fat percentage…

I would have to admit that when I first started reading this post I was freaking out too. But once others with similar caloric needs started chiming in I calmed down. My advice is to stay away from plant based proteins. They tend to have a hefty dose…

Apple just put out an update to iOS 8. Hopefully this will fix the Apple Health app issue

I also don't worry about the "soy is in everything" issue either because I know exactly what goes in my DIY recipe and the only thing with Soy is the Soy protein. I don't drink Soy milk, and my DIY provides me with on average 95% of my nutrition (occasionally…

It cleared up a skin condition on my hands that plagued me for 5 years. Every dermatologist failed miserably by always prescribing steroid cream when it was actually a nutrition deficiency that Soylent was able to fix in 3 weeks. I just wish I knew…

Yes, they send the kit separately from and usually before the Soylent.

Got my confirmation a couple days ago! One week order from October 13th 2013
