Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.

A bottle of Soylent contains 400 calories. It contains exactly 20% of each RDA-recognized vitamin, about 30 grams of carbs, a healthy balance of fats, and protein. Preparation is shaking the bottle for about three seconds, and peeling off a little foil seal.

Used to be you couldn’t drink it fast without getting digestion issues but now they’ve added enzymes to help digest the oats, so you can chug that bottle without issue.

A little more expensive than groceries you prepare, but cheaper than any buyable prepared breakfast you’d get from a coffee shop, diner, convenience store, or fast food joint.

I much prefer Huel. Especially when you make it with hot water. It's like drinkable oatmeal.

My favorite flavors are salted caramel and cinnamon roll.

They scientifically engineered a less appetizing name than Soylent.

I haven't tried Soylent. Does it actually make you feel full?

Yup. Just don't try to have a 100% Soylent diet, that's when I was always feeling hungry. This was like 10 years ago when I bought the powder in bulk.

The bottles you can buy at a grocery store today are much better. Downing a bottle of Soylent is unparalleled in terms of time, cost, amd nutrition.

Is it vegan?

I also drink these. I like the chocolate flavor.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I like that there’s a variety. I keep chocolate, strawberry, and banana on hand
