Sausages are a ground mix of meats.
Is there an equivalent for a mix of vegetables, fruits, grains, meat, etc? It would make more sense as a complete cheap meal than a powder, except for being perishable.
It brings to mind the 'diet problem' http://www.neos-guide.org/content/diet-problem http://www.neos-guide.org/content/diet-problem for which, if optimizing for price only, often suggests that you eat mainly potatoes.

- Blaaguuu 10y agoThe closest that I have come across would probably be MealSquares - which still contain a good deal of animal products (milk, eggs) - but they seem to be going for a similar goal as Soylent, but making a 'solid' final product, and using whole ingredients. They last a good month in the fridge/freezer, and about 2 days on the counter. http://www.mealsquares.com/nutrition-facts.html http://www.mealsquares.com/nutrition-facts.html

- brians 10y agofield roast grain meat sausages, actually. I, an omnivore, use them all the time. They're seitan with vegetables. And there is the venerable Dillburito.
- nradov 10y agoScott Adams developed something like that (without meat) as the Dilberito. It failed in the market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilberito https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilberito

- viewer5 10y agoI think veggie burgers are sort of a 'sausage' of different veggies.

- toasterlovin 10y agoTo my mind, the key foods which are healthy, cheap, and easy to prepare are whole milk, cheese, yogurt, and nuts. Last time I checked, they all came out much cheaper per calorie than Soylent. Not exactly what you asked about, but, if I read you right, they accomplish what you're going for.
