I think I found a better alternative to Soylent called "Bertrand" (https://bertrand.bio/ https://bertrand.bio/). It is made out of organic ingredients, tastes solid (just order the one with no flavor, it actually tastes better) and is hopefully more healthy since it is made from "real" natural powderized ingredients. So even if there are nutrition components (e.g. other micro-nutrients) which weren't researched properly till today (quite likely imho), they should still be in the drink since it's not made from artificial components.
I'm drinking it for two months now and I'm happy with it. Very convenient, fair price, available in a vegan & gluten-free version and it tastes okay-ish (like oatmeal).
P.S.: I'm not affiliated with this company in any way, just a happy customer.
- miranda_rights 10y agoInteresting. I like the idea but the macronutrients are heavily weighted towards carbohydrates. For reference, normally 30-35% of your daily calories should be protein, while only 11% of the calories of Bertrand come from protein.
- SuicidebyStar 10y agoThat is true, especially the vegan version lacks protein (in comparison to the "active" version). That's why I add rice protein to the drink to get up to 120-150g protein/day. Besides that I add also Acerola powder for more (natural) vitamin C.
