#Soylent  update: Last Thursday, I tried a batch blended with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and a little chocolate syrup. Not bad...has a hint of Reece Cup about it. Still prefer a banana as my flavor & texture hack, though.

I went the past three days without drinking any Soylent. Wanted to see if I noticed a difference in some way. Well, the difference is that I ate a ton more calories because, well, food is delicious. Come tomorrow, I'm going to try and go Soylent for 3 out of every 4 meals until I run out of my supply (4 pouches remaining). More as I know it...

#Soylent update: Tossing in a handful of blackberries and blueberries makes for a very colorful meal, but it's not as effective as using a banana for improving the taste. Plain Soylent = meh. Soylent with berries = not bad. Soylent with banana = yum.

So I've concluded that blending a banana into 16oz.

So I've concluded that blending a banana into 16oz. of #Soylent  makes for an easy, enjoyable (yes, I really did enjoy it) lunch of about 580 calories that keeps me full, non-hungry, and non-sleepy for far longer than my typical restaurant lunch of something super carb-y or sugar-laden. Maybe it's a placebo effect or maybe the ingredients in Soylent really  do lessen a blood sugar spike -- whatever the case, I like it.

#Soylent update: Just added a smallish banana to about 15 oz.

#Soylent update: Just added a smallish banana to about 15 oz. of Soylent 1.4 for a 550-calorie breakfast and it was really enjoyable. No caveats....it was tasty and filling. Leaving mixed Soylent overnight in the fridge definitely improves the texture...its much more milkshake-like the next day.

#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.
