Soylent: Recipe, High Tomato

Description:

This is my first soylent recipe.  As the name suggests, it is high in tomato.  The flavor is good but not awesome.  The tomato flavor is not easy to detect, nor is the flavor of the basil.  I have tested this recipe for one day, without any issues.

I having been mixing this with enough water to fill three 20fl oz Gatorade bottles (so, with water, I get 60fl oz).  This makes the stuff fairly thick (frozen, it makes a decent ice cream-like substance).  If you want it thinner, add enough water to get 80fl oz total (or just add water to the desired thickness).  It works best if you blend it well.

Information:

I have listed all of the ingredients in my current list, even though some are not used in this recipe.  This recipe is quite close to the upper limits for some nutrients (notably manganese), so care should be taken when modifying the recipe or when adding snacks to a daily diet that includes this recipe.

This recipe is fairly low calorie.  I would recommend figuring out your recommended calorie intake based on your weight and height, then adding more calories as recommended in my Documents post.  It might also be worth looking into the effect of fiber on total calories, though current research has not reached any solid conclusions.

This recipe has enough cinnamon to increase insulin sensitivity, but may take up to 40 days to see the full benefits.  Also, a packet of processed stevia sweetener can be added to potentially increase insulin sensitivity.  (This statement has not been reviewed by the FDA etc...)

  1. I'm really looking forward to your recipes. This is really exciting since my main source of food is food stamps too. I would definitely purchase your recipe book if you go through with publishing it. :)
