Taste!

I've had a few people try Soylent 2.0 in the past week or so and they all say something different about the taste.

Thin, smooth pancake batter taste (without a lot of egg).

Like liquid bread.

Waffle mix, maybe? 

Rice milk.

Watered-down batter.


And, so far, it tastes lovely with a bit of Saigon cinnamon added (though it does clump around the mouth of the bottle), it's nice when blended with crushed ice (but gets overly watery eventually), and is going to be tried with some frozen blueberries and strawberries later.

Check out the Soylent Instagram account if you want more ideas! That's where I realized that I could re-purpose my Xanthan Gum to thicken some Soylent 2.0 and make a fruit shake out of it. Don't misunderstand- I am not purely on the bandwagon with Soylent right now. But their 2.0 is exactly the right taste, calorie value, and convenience for my life right now and it's hard to hold that kind of joy in when writing about the lifestyle. My recommendation is to consider what Soylent is doing as a guide for your version of DIYS. Or take a peek at other blogs like I Am Soylent or romp around Reddit; there are tons of people doing exactly what I'm doing but with far more flair.
