It has its uses, not as good as the pre-made drinks though.
I got this powder Soylent as an alternative to the pre-made drinks, and also to just try. The texture, smell, and flavor is nothing like the original pre-made drink. It’s a bit more gritty (especially if you use a shaker bottle) and smells and tastes like vitamins. So eventually I found that if you use a blender and not a shaker, add a banana, peanut butter, and some chocolate Ovaltine, it makes a pretty tasty and milkshake-consistency drink! Sure it adds even more calories and sugar, but I usually make this for both my breakfast and lunch meals (2 meals in 1), when I’m really crunched for time and can’t prepare or run out to get meals.<br /><br />I can see the powder formula also being a decent light weight option for long hikes where drinking water might be available along the way, so you’re not carrying extra fluid weight in the meantime.
