Two or three scrambled egg with a goid amount of olive oil or coconut oil usually keep me full for longer stretches over the day without cravings.

That would be fine, but the amount of time that would take to prepare isn't something I would do in the morning. But being able to get a drink out of the fridge makes it much easier

Scrambled eggs literally take two minutes to make. Very similar to how long it takes to mix up some Soylent.

I suspect your real issue is that like most you wake up to an alarm so you're still mostly asleep during breakfast time. And until it's routine scrambling eggs requires higher cognitive function...

Indeed, scrambled egg are ready in no time. You can even scramble them in the evening and keep in the fridge until morning. If you have a stove with a timer you can just slosh them in the pan and eat without stirring after a couple of minutes.

Even easier to use Ensure - just drink from the bottle and throw it away.

Soyent is also sold in prepared bottles that have a shelf life of a year. There’s also 6 flavors to choose from: original, cacao, nectarine, cafe coffiest, cafe vanilla, and cafe chai.

If you trust the Ensure manufacturing process -- how many recalls have they had?

Ensure comes in more flavours, btw.:

Banana, Chocolate, Coffee, Fruits of the Forest, Neutral, Orange, Peach, Raspberry, Strawberry, Vanilla

And the Ensure juice style drinks.
