Soylent 2.0
Soylent 2.0 is a pre-mixed drink and has a different taste from the previous version (Soylent 1.5 powder).
I would describe three main differences:
- Soylent 2.0 has a perfectly smooth texture, and none of the somewhat grainy residue of Soylent 1.5. However well you shake the powder into water, you can't eliminate all clumps and produce a perfectly smooth drink.
- Soylent 2.0 has a faint taste that reminds me of burnt rice tea (Gen-Mai Cha). In comparison, Soylent 1.5 is perfectly neutral and leaves no taste in your mouth, other than a feeling of having eaten.
- To have complete nutrition, you need to drink 5 bottles of Soylent 2.0 per day. This is not easy to ration correctly, unless I want to have a bottle every 3 hours. I find it quite difficult to drink 2 bottles at once, because I already feel full after 1.5 bottles. At the moment, I drink 1 bottle very slowly, and this lasts for about 3 hours. Soylent 1.5 came in powder packages, one package per day, and you could mix a single meal at any time using a measuring scoop. However, Soylent 1.5 requires a clean-up after mixing, because it's impossible to avoid spilling the powder.
At the moment, I'm ordering Soylent 2.0 for the office and Soylent 1.5 for home. |
