#Soylent update: Three conclusions so far...

#Soylent update: Three conclusions so far...

1. Mixing in a little chocolate syrup makes it reasonably yummy.

2. Giving a new batch a few hours in the fridge to fully dissolve all the mix's components makes it smoother. Not perfectly smooth, like a milkshake, but the solids are less prominent.

3. It's really filling. 15 ounces, which is about 450 calories, makes me feel quite full and I don't seem to get hungry again nearly as quickly as I normally do.

  1. Are you drinking the 1.4?  How do you like it?  I read many customers were happy with 1.4 and now can't stand it.

  2. I'd wonder about mixing chocolate in because of the pharmacology of the theobromine, I imagine it's interact with the other components of the cocktail. I wonder what effect mixing it and waiting has on the chelated components.  I didn't quite catch if this was all you were eating or not, if you are on a pure liquid diet, you might as well kill 2 birds with one stone,

  3. Matthew J Price​ I am drinking 1.4. I didn't try 1.3, so can't compare it. It's not bad. I wouldn't want to eat nothing but it.... I think I'd tire of it pretty quickly. But as one meal a day, I don't really mind it. II like the fact that I can feel quite full on only 400-600 calories while knowing that I'm eating healthfully.

  4. Ray of Sunshine​​ some people might hate it while others would find it delicious, so generalizing for taste is silly. That said, I find it neutral...i don't love it and I don't hate it. It's a lot like plain instant oatmeal...mostly inoffensive.
