It’s yet another US weirdness. I’m not sure if it even makes sense to compare it to the original (which uses raw milk and can get as tasty as you like the more you age it).
Fried onions. They’re fried onions. If OP had to price his burger he’d probably just put 19, and serve it on a slate with a miniature shopping trolley of fries
I drank huel for a while, then plenny. I switched because plenny doesn’t add thickener, which makes it way easier to drink and use in smoothies and stuff
I tried to get into it, but between finding recipes and washing the blender, it wasn’t less effort or money than just making a sandwich. I did not find it helpful as a diet aid, because I would still be hungry after a “meal replacement.” If I don’t have time to cook, I don’t have time to blend. If I make a bunch in advance, I can just as easily make a bunch of salads in containers.
I’m already fat and disabled, though, and I work from home, so factor that into my experience.
I don’t use them and wouldn’t use them. I like food, and would rather cut into other things’ time to cook and eat.
I generally have a pretty negative opinion of the idea of “replacing meals” with soilent-esque products. I understand the various reasons people use these, and don’t blame them, but to me it’s treating a symptom rather than the problems that cause it.
I tried Soylent for a little bit. It was okay. I think they work well as a once-in-awhile kinda thing, or in particularly strenuous or limiting conditions, but relying on them for any real length of time would be a little sad imo.
I’d still look for some for a solo road trip of any sort, they’re preferable to most road food.
Soylent is great. I don’t use it on the regular but it works for all the things you’d want one to work for. 400 calories downed quick and satiates for about 3 hours.
I second this, though the powder isn’t as good in its current rendition it helps control my portion sizing and helps me focus through the post lunch shift
When we get sick we rely on Ensure to keep our nutrients up when we can’t eat, but I’ve never used them to replace a proper meal because they are wholly unsatisfying, I would need a sandwich or something to top off my fat ass.
I started having a Soylent shake for lunch last week. I hate having to deal with eating during my work day (WFH), and want to stop doordashing. It’s worked well, I’m hungry by dinner and it has better nutrition than what I normally eat.
Will keep on doing it this week and see how it goes.
