I really, really wanted to like 100% food. It has so much going for it- made of actual grown food, high protein variants, convenient portable single serve containers, shipping time measured in days rather than months… Unfortunately, it is inedible.
And if I’m saying inedible, it must be pretty bad. I drink Soylent at room temperature, and for a long time didn’t bother mixing up the little protein clumps that formed (although once I realized how easy to clean my blender was, I did mix it). As I write this I’m consuming my smoothie with a spoon because I put in too many chia seeds and it turned into a gel. I cannot drink 100% food. I ordered the six-variant mixer (chocolate/plain and regular/high protein/low carb), but I’ve only managed to try two (one low carb, one regular) and one of those was a mere pinch. Extremely diluted the taste is tolerable, but still leaves this unbelievably gross oil aftertaste/film in your mouth. I won’t drink it and you can’t make me.
The single serve containers were a disappointment too. There’s not enough room in them to really shake up the mix, so you end up with a lot of dry mix protected by a layer of wet mix. So 100% food’s only real selling point is that it ships quickly.
I’m not 100% happy with Soylent. I would really prefer fewer digestible carbs and more protein and fiber, but that’s addressable with some flax seeds and additional protein powder. I would also love it if they shipped in < 3 months, and didn’t tell me they were going to ship a month before they did. But it is better than starving to death, which is more than I can say for 100% food.
