It really is a nice way of consuming calories
I've only had Soylent twice, one pre-bottled that tasted like cardboard (I'm assuming an old version) and now this v1.8 powder which has ended up becoming a staple of my weekly diet. There's not much to really say other than it's got a nice mild flavor and blends well with just about anything but cacao baking powder (that was a mistake on my part).<br /><br />Because of the overhead cost on Amazon I happened to get a tub on sale and have been refilling it with monthly shipments from Soylent directly. It's a very friendly subscription service, add to it, subtract from it, skip a month, double up on a month, or cancel altogether. There's no hoops to jump through (this isn't a newspaper subscription) so it feels very risk free which I was afraid wouldn't be the case.<br /><br />My base recipe is:<br />8 oz - Water<br />4 oz - Half-and-Half<br />1 scoop - the-chai-latte-formerly-known-as-big-train-chai from Costco<br />2 scoops - Soylent<br /><br />It tastes great on it's own, but watermelon and blueberries add a nice flavor. I wasn't too impressed with raspberries, and apple is way too fibrous to be pleasant to drink. I haven't gotten around to getting in on blackberry or cherry action yet. At one point I went for a blackberry, blueberry, strawberry frozen mix but it was light on strawberries and the blackberries left a million seeds at the bottom.
