This has too many ingredients but I want to get rid of some protein powder I have laying around.
The taste and mouth feel is good to me. I put it in the fridge the night before with 2L of water, blended it in the morning into two batches then put it back in the fridge.
I started with the High-protein, medium-carb weightlifting food recipe from @jadamgo then substituted in the protein powder I'm trying to use up. Had a hell of a time finding the Potassium source he preferred so I started stealing ideas from Runner's Sludge v1.02 from @LukeTheRunner. I'm not an elite athlete so I eliminated the creatine.
I also couldn't find a local source for the liquid lecithin so moved that over to granules. Dextrose was located at a local beer brewing shop where I found the first person all day who'd heard of Soylent and embraced the idea. Home brew types are just another sort of maker and amateur chemists.
FIELD EXPERIENCE
Constipation has been a major side-effect of v1.0. I should make smaller batches so I'm not stuck with this issue again. I'm assuming it's the 4x the RDA of Iron because at 50g of fiber i should have no issues at all. The iron amount is still high at 2x the RDA but I'm hoping it will prove tolerable.
It tastes a bit like cake batter. I haven't had any upset stomach issues. EDIT I have had some stomach soreness when I eat but I do eat fast. This stomach soreness was short in duration and has gone away after a few days END EDIT I am not eating this exclusively but it is 75% of my diet. I have lunch with friends a few days a week and have been augmenting with food that was in the fridge and would spoil soon.
CONCERNS
I've seen other recipe authors mention that high intake of processed(i.e. non-raw) cacao produces acrylamide(apparently a carcinogen) so I'm a little concerned about that ingredient http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=george&dbid=260
HEADACHES
I've had some small ones but it's also an intensely busy point in my life. It's hard to blame it on the food right now. Life has gotten calmer and I've increased my water intake. No more headaches.
FAQ
1. Why soybean oil? It's so high in polyunsaturated fats.
For the Omega-6s.
CHANGELOG
1.1 - swapping Vit K for Parsley Powder. moved to buckwheat flour. Removed the hemp protein powder due to manganese. Removed the Lean Body MRP due to high iron amounts. Swapped from Vitamin Shoppe multivitamin/mineral to Twinlab due to high iron amounts. Added calcium phosphate. Added peanut butter I think for the folate.
