Opinions/Reviews on Soylent?

Not the Soylent Green made of people..
Soylent the liquid food replacement
LINK / Video in the link
I like the idea for certain meals of the day that I don't feel like preparing (breakfast or healthy late night snack). I'm never hungry right when I wake up and I never wake up early enough to get hungry before I leave the house.
Has anyone tried this stuff? Sounds like it would be great for my situation.

It's still probably people.

Probably was a bad idea to name it that.

I have some. It tastes pretty good once you get used to it. It tastes fantastic with Hershey's chocolate syrup. It does wonders for hangovers, too. It really does curb your hunger but I can't really go past 48 hours without getting solid food or else I'll get a headache. Others have complained about this and supposedly they've fixed it in reformulations, but I still have a few boxes of 1.0 formula and they're on like 1.4 or 1.5 now.
I'm sort of in the same boat as you in the mornings; when I wake up my stomach just doesn't want solid food. I could always eat a bowl of cereal with milk but never really anything solid. I have to wake up like an hour or so earlier to eat, which I never feel like doing. Drinking Soylent for breakfast helps, but I am also pretty damn lazy and fall out of the routine of making it the night before. When I do remember though, it is a good boost in the morning

I wouldn't mind a full meal in a drink that I could chug in the car. A bowl of cereal really isn't that good for you and won't stay with me for more than an hour or two

When you mix it, you're supposed to drink it within 48 hours or it'll go bad, if I remember correctly.
I have a bunch of blender bottles. I think I'm just going to put pre-measured amounts of powder in them and just wake up and pour water and oil in one, shake, and go.

That is a good idea...I have loads of blender bottles I do not use. I'm hoping their new funding will speed up orders. ~4 month waitlist right now for new orders. 1-2 week lead time for re-orders. They just got a massive amount of funding that should eliminate that wait time.

You could just do like me and blend up some fruit, juice, almond milk and a couple scoops of protein powder and drink that on the way to work. I'm usually feeling hungry by 11 though.
