soylent, huel, or ka'chava?
I've been into this meal replacement thing for about three years now, started with soylent, and then tried huel. and finally kachava. i typically make a smoothie every morning with one of these meal replacements. it consists of the vanilla flavor on all different brands. with water and a tablespoon of powdered Hershey's chocolate. (the chocolate flavor of all these brands just kinda sucks IMO). and I've been doing this for about 3 years every morning. i will break down each brand briefly. Soylent: smooth and soft texture. has the most neutral and adaptable flavor. it is also the cheapest, but taste kinda synthetic, and not quite confident it's "healthy". but soylent takes a 4.5/5... soylent is about 1.90 a serving. Huel: kinda grainy texture, and has a plan and plant taste (not perceptively appealing, although, I can enjoy this taste much more in the long run compared to soylent and kachava), but i feel this is much healthier than soylent. (on par with kachava as far as health) 4/5. hule is about 2.30 cents a serving. ka'chava: sadly i got this hoping i could explore it more and incorporate it with the other two. the texture is very similar to huel, but it's been loaded with some sweetener that just overwhelms anything you do to make a tame drink. (i can't do this flavor every day compared to the other two.) but this is somewhat a bias on my part because I don't like sweet things very much. so if you like sweet smoothies, godspeed. also, kachava is the most expensive for the least amount of food. at about 3$ a serving. 3/5. 4/5 if you like sweets, and can afford them. i typically do a 2/1 ratio of soylent(2) heul(1). with chocolate and water in my smoothies. I have tried putting kachava into this portioning, but it almost obstructs the taste at any level. kachava has to be about 1/7th of the ratio for it to be neutral enough of a flavor without it disturbing the flavor with excessive sweetness. anyway hope this helps with your decision-making with these meal supplements. :)
