It's full of maltodextrin which is about as healthy as pounding sugar.
I invest in starch instead and use sucralose as a sweetener.
This seems like it would result in sub-optimal insulin spikes.

I'm going to need some citations on that one...

As a type 1 diabetic I think your concerns are overblown. Soylent has a pretty low glycemic index which makes it ideal for a quick breakfast.
My only concern about Soylent is if I should be ingesting this much soy as a male of European descent.

#24I appreciate the coincidental irony that I am eating a bowl of muesli while reading this article this morning (AM in Aus., that is).
* Whole rolled oats
* Pumpkin seeds
* LSA (powdered)
* Sunflower seeds
* Chopped green apple
* Coconut water and Orange Juice 50/50 mix (NOT Milk, Ugh!)
* Mango flavoured thick greek yoghurt
Mmm...

So about a half kilogram of oats and raisins with oil and various additives? I guess it's slightly more palatable than Soylent but eating it seems just incredibly grueling.

I find I have to combine it with a fat/protein like a serving of peanuts to make it not spike me hard. It may not have a high glycemic index, but it is already in liquid form and is thus available for digestion.

#28Is there a recipe for this? Or even an ingredient list? This seems like a very weird way to present an idea for food

Tasmanian here. I got in the habit of making a similar muesli (okay, they're all similar) but substituting grated raw potato for rolled oats, and tahini + water instead of milk.
Try it!

I think thats the point. He specifies that "excessive chewing activates digestion" or something on the github page. Its designed to be a real jaw grinder.
