A meal replacement beverage.
The cocoa version is like drinking chocolate ice cream, including the gummy mouth feel afterwards. It's definitely only a "treat" and not a meal replacement.
The vanilla has a definite flavor but is definitely tame. It also suffers from the mouth feel problem, which I think would be a problem for narration and singing.
See Soylent for a lot of notes which also apply to this product.

Lately I've been making tea as a way to ritualize meals and add water to my diet, because Soylent tends to make the entire eating thing different.
I've had some terrible experiences with teas which would stain my teeth and upset my stomach with their "flavourings", so I looked around to find an alternative.
Boy did I find a damned good one.
Dilmah makes a pure single-source Ceylon tea. No flavouring and no extra shit.
 I liked this, only as Sencha |
Made the very best green tea I've ever had or probably will ever had.
Unfortunately, they stopped making it.
I had bought it from Twin City, but apparently it had been so long since I used it that it was deleted.

I find Soylent extraordinarily palatable, but I know others would be interested in taste customization.

While thinking about Soylent, some other things came to mind.
Products are labelled with this notion of "daily requirements", but that's an incomplete and possibly non-optimal paradigm. Similarly, the food groups and servings per day concept has the same perspective problem.
I think these are useful and valid concepts, but there are some other interesting things to think about.

Some notes on how I prepare and eat Soylent.
I haven't experimented with Soylent flavouring for my own use.

A meal replacement beverage.
A hands-down spectacular idea and implementation. I ate Soylent for months, and have even eaten it both as a snack, then a meal, and then as my only food. Highly recommended, not just for diet or general health but for lifestyle.
