This recipes is tasty! I added (Rev 0.4) more stevia and cinnamon.

Based on @max's "People Chow." The main change is instead of soy oil I use olive oil -- could not bring myself to ingest soy, paleo dude that I am. (And yes I know that the whole concept behind soylent is the opposite of paleo, but bear with me . . . . )

I formulated this to provide adequate cals and protein for my personal needs -- I am a fit, very active person and I lift weights. On lifting days I add a protein recovery shake. But nonlifting days this mix is sufficient.

This mix plus 1500 ml of water fits perfectly into the Takeya pitcher that (I am given to understand) will be sourced with the official Soylent distribution.

I'm not too concerned about the high niacin. There are a number of comments on this site that suggest 35mg of niacin is redline. But according to NIH instead 3 GRAMS (3,000 mg) is danger zone.

The only real deficiency here is Vitamin K (60%). I can live with that, as I also take a greens supplement. Also I take 4g of fish oil daily, which rounds out the Omega 3:Omega6 ratoio (1:2 is best).

Ideas welcome!
