    As far as meal replacement shakes go, Soylent is the least offensive to your mouth if not in its name.

    The mint one is especially good. But they certainly can’t replace a meal, IMO. They don’t really do anything at all to make you feel full enough that they actually satisfy hunger. I tend to have them for breakfast, but with toast or a bagel to actually feel like I ate.

      My brother managed to drink only it for a while and it gave him crazy bad poops initially but it balanced out. He’s just the soulless kind of guy it’s meant for, he didn’t miss the taste of real food in the slightest.

      He’s kicked it, though, probably because it really isn’t great long term as the only thing you eat.

        Used to have it for lunch every day and it wasn’t bad at all, knew the recipe by heart at some point…

      That was my experience with Soylent, but huel works for me.

    • Huel was my fave for a while.

      But even having it twice a day (breakfast + Lunch) I maintained weight but felt forever hungry. So it was kinda shit.

      Also if you didn’t clean the flask straight after it turned into a biological warfare weapon.

      Oh and the backend result was not pleasant. Lots of gas and floaty cauliflower shit.
