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…

The website for a new meal-replacement product called Soylent, after posing that question, paints an enticing picture of the freedom and convenience of a food-free future: “Prepare multiple meals in minutes — no need to shop for individual ingredients…

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…

Danke nochmal für die Info. Jetzt machen die ganzen Aussagen deutlich mehr Sinn. Interessant, dass mich jetzt erst deine Nennung vom Wort Integral drauf gebracht hat (bei Wikipedia habe ich das wohl schlichtweg überlesen und bin durch Fläche nicht auf…

Is het nog gelukt? :)

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

Okay, so I was very eager to try the Melbourne based creation branded as Aussie soylent. The tester bag I got came in two bags, one of the premium mix and one of the regular, I haven't tried the regular one yet so my only point of comparison would be…

Nachtrag noch zum GI: 105 ist natürlich relativ viel. Der GI sagt aber nichts über den Insulin-Peak aus, da er das Integral über den Anstieg des Insulins über der Zeit ist (Also die Fläche unter der Insulin Kurve, bei zb. Maltodextrin-6 sollte der Insulin-Peak…

Danke schonmal, auch wenn ich es jetzt (hoffentlich?) über Kartoffelmehl gelöst habe. Ich hatte eigentlich die Hoffnung, dass du eventuell Informationen zum Dextroseäquivalent in Bezug auf den GI hast, da es an vielen Stellen (Meines Verständnisses…

Hi, lt. dieser Tabelle: http://gesuender-abnehmen.com/abnehmen/glyxindex.html 105.

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…

I've been on PC for over 6 months now have always been trying to make it more calorie dense. I've been adding extra masa, protein powder, and oil but recently I've made a few discoveries. * The oil mixed in makes it taste gross and makes the bottles…

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…

I've spent up to two weeks on this recipe consuming about 2/3 of the total batch for breakfast and lunch, but not in distinct, separate meals (drink when hungry). Have felt better energy-wise when keeping on this recipe regularly, at least once a day.…

I'm trying to decide whether to just try a DIY recipe or wait until my order gets shipped. I ordered mine June 18th, worried that some shipments were taking more than a year?!

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

Sorry Brad, figured it out. Cheers

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.

Hi Brad, Firstly thank you. I am looking forward to getting all this together and tasting. Have the sunflower seeds been removed or is this an error. Thank you in advance

Hey mate, quick question. The recipe has Red Island Extra Virgin Olive Oil listed as an ingredient, but doesn't use it. Is this correct?

@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

Variety is important to me when it comes to food, and I doubt that I'm the type of person that would want to replace every meal with Soylent unless I had no other option. Even with "normal" food, it's rare that I would eat even my favorite things two…

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…

I'm working on a recipe that gets sodium from sources such as sodium bicarbonate, and as such registers lower on the chloride DV. Does anyone have any knowledge regarding chloride deficiencies, and if some other chloride supplement should be worked out?

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.

Okay. Mir wurde der Tipp gegeben, nicht nur so kurzkettige Kohlehydrate zu nutzen, weshalb ich noch das Kartoffelmehl mit hineingenommen habe. Ich hoffe, dass das funktioniert :)

Okay. Die Zutaten habe ich soeben bestellt. Emotional bin ich derzeit zwiegespalten, da es ja doch schon recht viel auf einen Schlag war (wobei es sich finanziell langfristig schon rechnet. Langfristig.. Ist ein wirklicher Schuss ins Blaue). Auf der…

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…

I've seen some posts in here where people have been getting a particular kind of Maseca (Tamal) from Wal-Mart and have said that it's much better than the regular one. Since both versions list the only ingredient as "selected corn treated with lime",…

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.

Day 3, confirmed through some experimentation that definitely need to incorporate potassium. Will need to just start with a very low dose and increase over time to find the right balance. Also there seems to be something missing thats usually in meat.…

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.

I'm still behind on orders after being sick for a week, sorry. :/

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

well I'm not quite prepared to pay 10X the price for only geting 3000kcal. theres no fun in that @horsfield it's not really about geting a deficiency (that kan take a long time), but about witch are the most effective for the boddy, but ecpecialy if…

Love Rotary. My father-in-law was a member and one of my sons was a member of a high school sponsored club. For me missions are not necessarily associated with a faith based org. Any group looking to make the world a better place are on a mission for…

We at 100%FOOD follow FDA recommendations,while offer Double protein for bodybuilding and Low Carb for weight loss.

Swap water with whole milk, and that's ~1,000 more calories right there. A scoop or two of whey protein, and you're pretty close to the 3,300 calories goal. Is that reasonable? I'm also a 'hard-gainer' -- I eat about 2,000 calories a day and am hovering…

This company is a possibility. Just need to heat pasteurize the soylent or Soylent first and let them do the work. There is also the coffee machine type vending machines that use instant coffee and powdered non-dairy creamer. Just need to hook them up…

Lee, I am involved with Rotary. Not faith based. We do water projects and have been the force behind eliminating polio since it started.

Pick one you like and go with it. Stick with it till you notice a deficiency then either pick another one or fix the current one your using. If you never notice a deficiency then great. I personally go with the FDA recommendations.

@bts Now that your back on your DIY any chance you could try the ingredients from Soylent one at a time and see if it affects you.

Thanks @antilight for review, you can read a fresh review of Low Carb Chocolate below.Customers say that it goes more smoother: discourse.soylent.me Review: SpaceNutrientsStation 100%Food I'm going to do a quick review…

I've used products from both @Spaceman and @axcho, though with 100% Food I haven't tried any of the new varieties. I've also tried Official, which so far is my favorite, flavor wise. If you want a low-carb/ketogenic recipe, I know for a fact that axcho…

Oh yeah @asympt... It's a show time! This week we will pick up first two machines from a production, tune it and ... ready to accept invitations to colleges. Regarding @livingparadox, @Myarter concerns about storage, cleaning and smell. Powder is stored…

@kmziemba you may check for existing Low Carb 100%FOOD, based on Zone Diet with 40/30/30 Carb/Fat/Protein ratio. According to reviews from diabetics 100%FOOD does not cause insulin spikes in the blood (even chocolate version due to balance of simple,…
