This recipe is designed to be easy to make, very palatable (good even), higher protein, high quality ingredients, and >90% complete. Still requires some normal eating, not for someone to consume exclusively (though other than too little salt, you probably could).

Usage Tip: If you don't want the banana, just add 70g more Maltodextrin, and you are very close. But it won't taste as good.

Pros:

  • Better quality (and more expensive) ingredients than Soylent (whey, inulin, olive oil)
  • Simple ingredient list (micro nutrients supplied via 3 pills)
  • No seed oils (I usually use avocado or non-virgin olive oil for more neutral flavor). Nutrition is same same.
  • Still pretty inexpensive, and cheaper than Soylent.
  • more protein than FDA
  • banana makes it delicious

Cons:

  • Requires 3 pills to be (nearly) nutritionally complete
  • Requires a fresh ingredient (banana). But it is so much more delicious with the banana.
  • Fresh banana means making ahead more than 1-2 days doesn't work well.

Neutral: Not quite nutritionally complete. But that's OK, because I still eat normal food, and the nutrients this recipe is deficient in tend to be things I get too much of in my regular diet e.g. salt, and omega 6 fats.
