I’ve been a Soylent guy for years, so this is actually my first foray into any sort of regular cooking. Still need to cut my prep time down, but so far so good.
Ingredients: Quinoa, parsley, chickpeas, yellow bell pepper, green onions, almonds, dates. The original shaker came with a citrus/vinegar/spice dressing, but I just use what I have at hand.
I didnt realize Soylent was still a thing.
Technically I used a brand called Jimmy Joy, but it’s pretty much the same idea.
There are a number of Soylent-clones and I think many of them are doing quite well. The buzz around it has definitely died down, but I think there are still many people who are just quietly relying on meal replacements for a good portion of their nutrition. Honestly, I would continue to do the same if I could justify the shipping and total cost, but I’m trying this out for a change.
It is! They’ve mostly moved away from the powder to premixed bottles to take on the go, and I don’t think plain is even an option any more. There are also caffeinated bottles now. It’s still just kinda fine, but it gets the job done.
I did that for a few months for 2 meals a day while I was in college and interning and had no time for anything. Idk, it’s sustenance. The mix left a nasty flavor in a thermos that I could never get out. The bottles were super convenient.
you can get the powder. i just got two orders on sunday. it’s fantastic. i’ve tried the others (jimmy joy, queal, and huel) and i just kinda hated the fact they’re all so sweet. i like that the original powder is really bland.
