A brown sludge, which is kinda frothy thanks to the blender.<\/p>\n
How does it taste?<\/em> Like a cup of cold Milo with banana in it.<\/p>\nThe texture is similar to Milo, but with a bit more grain from the almond meal and coconut flour. Definitely nothing like the reports of chalk or flour in the official Soylent. I don’t necessarily like the drink I’ve blended up – give me a Big Mac any day – but it’s definitely tolerable. If you’ve ever had Up & Go or those other breakfast drink things, this is very very similar. You could probably also add things like honey, or vanilla essence if you’re keen on experimenting with the taste.<\/p>\n
As you can see from the ingredients, if you’re allergic to nuts, this will kill you. If you are lactose intolerant, you’re gonna be shitting all over the place. Vegans won’t like the milk. Also, if you’re female, this isn’t going to suit you. If you’re smaller than me (you probably are)<\/em>, this has too many calories. So I don’t recommend copying this recipe unless you’re a stupidly overweight male with no allergies.<\/p>\nWarning: I Could Be Wrong<\/h1>\n
Maybe because I’m a nerd and Rob’s a nerd, I have some sort of blind faith in him. Similar as to what the stereotype of a middle aged mum who sees a celebrity in an ad for a weight loss product would react to it, or a bloke with big muscles covered in ladies does for middle aged men. Soylent could just be another fad diet that has the right amount of fact (they all have some fact) that sees me lured into it. The creator of the cult is saying the right words to woo me. Whether Soylent in DIY form suits me, remains to be seen and it’s too early to tell from my random two weeks of consumption. I’ll integrate it into my diet and see how it goes. It probably won’t be a miracle, but it might help improve my overall health.<\/p>\n
