I've tried eating Soylent 1.0 almost exclusively for two weeks and I really enjoyed it. I wish I could have access to more Soylent, but I live in Canada and Soylent is very rare. I used a blender to mix the Soylent and I added frozen strawberries and sometimes mangos, peaches or bananas. I also sometimes added soy milk. I am also open to try adding other ingredients to Soylent, but I would need more Soylent. Frankly, I would easily eat it for 90%-100% of my meals. They said in a recent email that they are going to ship to Canada in March 2015... What I like the most about it is that it's easy to prepare and when I prepare one pouch, I have enough to drink/eat for almost two days. Also, I think it tastes really good. And I love the vision of the company.

I'm curious to see how this plays out when more people eat soylent for longer periods of time. I could see it as a great supplement to most meals to make sure you are getting most of the nutrients that you need while still eating a variety of foods.

Was it filling enough? That would be my main concern with a liquid diet.

  Yes, I didn't feel the need to eat anything else. Just drinking one glass of Soylent would satisfy me for a few hours. I ended up drinking 3 or 4 glasses per day.

Could you by it on eBay? I haven't checked, just curious.

  Yes, it was on eBay that I bought it. But I haven't found a listing in Canada for a while now.

Why don't you brew your own then? http://diy.soylent.me/ http://diy.soylent.me/

  Yes, I'm definitely considering it. But I'd rather just wait a few more months (March 2015) and finally get the official Soylent shipped. As much as I like the taste, for me the main selling point of Soylent is that for example, I could buy 28 bags of Soylent at once and automatically get more every month. Not have to worry about buying and preparing food.
