Soylent is an excellent way to control costs and calories while saving time. You don't eat it for every meal. And it makes the meals you do take the time and have the money to prepare more enjoyable. Soylent prepared from powder is $1.93 per meal (500 calories) and is easily mixed from a packet of 4 meals at a time with the included pitcher.
My girlfriend and I drink soylent just about every morning for breakfast and then have a cup of coffee. We prepare it at night in about 2 minutes for the next 2 days. It's much better cold from the fridge than faucet temperature but mixes much better with faucet temperature water. It tastes like a mild cereal with a hint of vanilla (they changed the more recent versions' taste). It's helped us lose/maintain weight and keep food costs under control (NYC is expensive).
- tedmiston 10y agoJust curious if you've tried Coffiest? This seems like the use case they were trying to hit.
- JohnTHaller 10y agoI enjoy a hot fresh cup of coffee. I do enjoy the flavor of coffee in other things, but as I work from home, coffeist isn't a necessity for me.
- semerda 10y agoSoylent and coffee is not a good start to a day. Neither provide morning hydration. Sacrificing your health because it's fast and easy is something my younger version used to believe too. And yes I have consumed Soylent in the past up to 3 times a day for months on end.
- JohnTHaller 10y agoI was talking about food, not hydration. I drink 24oz of water with breakfast as part of drinking a gallon a day. I track my daily hydration with an app on my phone. 177 days in a row and counting.
