Soylent 2.0 Drink

This new soylent drink looks promising, works out to be $2.42 per serving, with 5 servings needed to hit 2000 calories.

They have fixed the protein levels
The sodium-potassium ratios are solid
Sugar levels are very close to ideal for men
Fiber is inadequate but fixable.
Unknown omega 3-6-9 ratios but fixable.
Iron DV not specific to gender, might be 2x more than needed for men.
No refrigeration required
1 year on shelf.

This looks like a near perfect snack or travel option when out of the house.

"Soylent 2.0 will be processed using a newer method than the so-called retort sterilization employed by most drinks"

http://discourse.soylent.me/t/soylent-2-0-use-less-do-more/22823/6

"The shelf life of Soylent 2.0 is estimated at 12 months at room temperature, longer if refrigerated, and less if stored in a heated environment. The product is UHT heat injection sterilized, so the shelf life is related to vitamin life, not bacterial contamination."

unknown amino-acid spectrum, i would not willingly put this crap into my body

also 1year shelf-life means tons of conservants

food that dosnt spoil concerns me

It is not filled with tons of preservatives

I updated it so you see everything

no info on aas, i dont want to just assume its all soy protein ( =carbs basically) but i m 93.3% sure

soylent, mana etc are for decadent morons who are so bored by our high living stds they come up with retarded shit like this

pretty sure on the forums you can find all the breakdowns, and if not, ask. If the bcaa are lacking, easily can supplement. Or just eat regular diet and have these drinks as a snack

I like this drink as going to the casino and eating is a huge pain. Casino food sucks or way overpriced

yo dawg, i ve heard you like supplements, so you can supplement while you supplement

its soy protein, basically garbage, theres plenty of better options like protein bars or just mixing whey+casein+mixed oats and adding water later

Ive done a fair amount of research on nutrition and this product looks questionable. There is worse things u can put in ur body obv but i wouldnt be looking to buy this in bulk and have it as a regular part of your diet.

Ever considered packing a lunch for casino? You could probably cook some stuff in bulk and pack a weeks worth at a time.

What part is questionable about the Soylent 2.0 drink version? I have never bought soylent as previous version have had questionable ingredients, sources of ingredients, ratios. However, this time around looking at it, it is a lot more solid from my understanding.

For a long time I avoided soy protein isolate but it is looking to not be as bad as I previous felt it could be. Do I prefer they use something different? probably, but I would never use soylent as a total nutrition replacement.

I tend to avoid added sugars or things like sucralose, not sure why they don't use Stevia, but I prefer nothing like that added. Though, at such a low concentration I don't think it even matters.

The reason why avoiding outside foods is a goal, in particular: cooking methods, unknown quantities of ingredients, etc. Most restaurants use very cheap vegetable oils, adding a lot more omega 6 than what I want in my diet. I prefer to limit foods cooked via high temperature for long periods of time, etc.

You see where this is going, a formulation that reaches nutritional goals while being environmentally sustainable and reducing overall carbon footprint is important. Their use of Algal oil that is produced via Algae, grown in a laboratory is a better use of energy than getting fats from things like animals, animal by products.

As for making a ton of good, yes but everyone is partial to convenience

this is healthier than mcdees or ramen for sure

i take it back, obv soy protein is fine for you -____________-

I can't take the word soylent seriously. Every time I see it I immediately think of that 1970s movie Soylent Green where the food they eat is made out of dead people.

Yuk.

SPOILER ALERT.

Not sure why the creator decided to name his product after that movie though.
