This is based on my other Blaevlent recipe (originally based on Australian Soylent),but has been modified to be even lower in carbs, while targeting around 1600 Cal, but the main focus was to try and bring the cost down over my original recipe, using LSA meal instead of a more balanced mix. Per my other recipe, this could be used as a complete meal replacement, as it meets the minimum requirements of the "U.S. government DRI, male 19-50, 1500 calories, low carb" profile, except it's lower in carbs again.
From the changes to the original Australian Soylent Recipe: I've replaced the Flaxseed with LSA meal, which adds sunflowers and almonds for more healthy fats. This affords a much higher fat content, without needing to add oil to the recipe.
I've also replaced the cane sugar with Coconut sugar, which is much lower in GI (around 35) and also affords us additional nutrients that cane sugar does not.
A note on the LSA mix and Omega 3: "Linseeds are a major component of LSA (about 50 per cent), and provide the majority of the omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 in linseed is known as ALA or short-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Some of these can be converted in the body to the longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are associated with health benefits, but the conversion rate is small (0.2-8 per cent for EPA and 0.05-4 per cent for DHA). So it’s important to know that a serving of LSA (one tablespoon or so) contributes little to the body’s recommended daily intake (RDI) for long-chain omega-3." Taking this into account, I've converted the amounts of Omega 3 in the LSA down by a factor of 10
I've made a batch of this and it's amazing. I renamed it to Sunflower Milk because it's exactly what it taste like. It's creamy and delicious!
