15-May-2014:
I'm making this recipe in order to backpack in the U.S. more efficiently, and to simplify my life while I am teaching English in Japan. I don't plan to replace all of my food intake with Soylent--just one or two a day depending on my workload and activity.
I'm not sure if the herbs used in v1.0 are readily availably in Japan, but I was having trouble finding food sources for vitamins, minerals and enzymes at the end. I still don't know how to fit in those last few odd nutrients . In fact, they seem to be unsearchable in most nutrition databases, leading me to believe that some of these ingredients might have them, but they just haven't been analyzed or recorded.
There is more fat than I was aiming for; I'm not worried however because I am young, active, looking to gain weight and have a fast metabolism.
I have not yet tested this recipe, so I don't know what form it will take, or how it will taste. Taste isn't that much of a concern for me--mostly I want to have a product that is quick to make, easily stored, and that can be prepared up to a 5 days in advance. Rice should be cooked before consumption, so I plan to make some sort of pancake (I wanted to make biscuits or flatbread, but most houses don't have ovens in Japan). I will test in in the coming week.
