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.

From my (limited) understanding, everything on the DIY soylent site is figured out to be a month's worth, correct? So if I want a make a weeks worth at a time, is it a matter of mixing ALL the powder elements together and then guestimating/ eyeing everything…

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?…

It was revealed recently that Hello Kitty is not a cat. Hello Kitty is people! Well, more specifically, it is a human girl. Finding this out has been akin to the scene in the film Soylent Green where Charlton Heston finds out that Soylent Green, the food…

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.

What do you mean cooking the masa like malt-o-meal? That's just a brand of cereal... Also, the Masa is already cooked. That's why it's masa and not corn flour.

That's a valid concern. These two links should point you in useful directions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_Reference_Intake#Current_recommendations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis

I wouldn't recommend eating low carbs while doing Insanity...recipe for disaster.

Not to disturb the peace-I could sell some soylent to my reddit friends for a reasonable price. Feel free to PM me, no I wont be rediculously scalping like those on ebay. Cheers

I ordered 2 weeks worth of product early last year during the kick-starter phase. In June 2014 I signed up for the 1 month (14 bags) of soylent subscription. Last week I received tracking numbers for my original 2 week order and the starter kit. Today…

When I read that article I kept checking when it was written, thinking it had to have been a year ago. Quite outdated, at release!

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--

Mijn reactie lijkt verdwenen te zijn, volgens mij komt dat doordat ik een link plaatste naar een artikel op een 'niet door DIY soylent gesponsorde site'. Maargoed, ik heb vandaag even wat gerommeld en twee verschillende recepten gemaakt. De eerste…

I've checked your maths, and the Potassium Gluconate tablets (x3) only provide 180mg of Potassium, not the 1650mg stated here. The 1650mg figure is the total Potassium Gluconate mass, NOT the total Potassium mass. Rather than 3 tablets per day, you would…

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…

Just put together a recipe. Have not tried it yet, and never did any other soylent, im just looking from feedback from more experienced soylenters. Waiting for the protein powder to arrive before i can try it out. I am planning to replace breakfast…

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.…

The writer was reading outdated information. There was a point during alpha testing in which @rob was not using any fiber and mentioned on his blog the idea that he would no longer need to eliminate waste. See here under the paragraph headed "Global…

I also use the batter setting and it works well for me... no over frothing at all. I pour the Soylent into my starter kit pitcher then I use the sink's spray tool to clean the jar and add that to the pitcher. Then I fill the pitcher to the top with water,…

Thank you for your response. I'd actually like to be taking a vitamin supplement, but I'm concerned about getting too much of something. I'll look up the recommend maximum amount of Vitamin D for me, and try a supplement accordingly.

I'd like to see subscription options like Dollar Shave Club has, where you can skip a shipment or add additional to a shipment. That way if I had a 2-week subscription and found myself consuming more than normal one month I could add extra to the next…

Upping those nutrients is more for if your trying to get used to a ketogenic diet, which this is not. Try going outside and getting some sun or take a vitamin D supplement. A quick google of "vitamin deficiency headaches" seems to bring up a lot of articles…

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…

This seems like a keto diet. Make sure you ask your physician before you start using it.

It would be neat if you could tag the DIY you're tracking and then once you've met some threshold of days monitored it would post a log/diary as a comment to the DIY comments section.

I'm mixing up a largish batch (16 days worth) of DIY soylent. Given my subtropical environment I am a little concerned with storing soylent that long without it getting moldy. It could potentially have to stay in storage for up to 60 days, depending…

Why does the article suggest you'll hardly poop on Soylent? Because that's not true.

That's not true about celery. It doesn't have a lot of calories, though, and it certainly is crunchy.

This is correct. I am aiming for convenience though, and buying pre-blended oats is much easier than blending it yourself each time.

When you mix all the powders together it's fine; however when you add water to each meal you'll need to drink it within 30 minutes. (remember you are making a days worth of powder, then weighing out a meals worth of powder at a time to mix with water,…
