This is based from the hackerschool recipe. However, there are several changes. The goal was to get the price down to 1000 calories per dollar, while still tasting good. I didn't want to include solid food, but using rice was the only way to get the price right. Enjoy!

Many variations, coming soon.

Recipe with standard measurements:

About 6 1/2 cups of water (should fill two 32oz Nalgene bottles to the top)

1 1/4 cup rice (dry)

1 cup oat flour

1 cup soy protein

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup Hersey's Cocoa

3 tablespoons canola oil

1 tablespoon soy lecithin

2 teaspoons potassium citrate

Put everything (except rice) into a large pitcher, then mix with an electric hand blender.

Adding about 1/2 teaspoon of salt may be necessary for some people. If you have heard bad things about canola oil, then olive oil can serve as a replacement.
