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.

This is an easier, faster-to-make and maybe even cheaper alternative to the recipe for date squares. Using three times the dates and no sugar or butter, this would also make for a good breakfast bar.
An excellent recipe, though I prefer the fatty and sweet version.

Date squares are a simple starter recipe which require little knowledge, few tools, few and cheap ingredients and very little bravery.
The payoff is big! This makes a great, sweet, dessert.
Although this is quite thorough, there are subtleties you will need to discover for yourself. I will not be sharing my secrets!

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.
This is a very unintimidating recipe for an inexperienced baker. The ingredients are very common, simple to work with and healthy. No sugar is added, which I like.
This kind of recipe directly leads into using more fruits and vegetables in baking. I could easily see shredded carrots in a similar recipe.
This is like a good oatmeal, but in cookie form. I've eaten this for breakfast!
