I’m going to try a soylent breakfast shake on my backpack trip. I need to add cream so I order heavy cream in powder to add. I will also add chia see to the mix.
I usually just take a couple of smart water bottles for water and didnt want to add another container. Any ideas? Thought I would just use the smart water bottle, anyone try this?
thank you!

Jul 21, 2017 at 8:47 pm #3480507I’d recommend trying it at home first. I’m sure one shake won’t make a difference, but the stuff has been known to cause gastric distress to some. You might want to test that out before you head to the woods.
Jul 21, 2017 at 9:03 pm #3480514Good thinking Doug! I’ll give it a try beforehand…wouldn’t want to have an issue on the trail. I like to get up and go in the am and though this would be a great solution!
Jul 22, 2017 at 12:53 am #3480562If I’m out long enough to go to F-D food, I try to transition from around-town food to F-D over a day or two. My first 36 hours has a tapering amount of wraps, sandwiches, and other “normal” food as I increase the F-D food consumed. That, and adding a few foods with fiber “keeps things moving” at a nice pace – not too fast and not too slow. That I’m using slightly heavier (but cheaper) foods early on doesn’t add many pound-miles because they are consumed first.
Similarly, as Doug suggests, before committing to Soylent, give it a try at home. And consider a transition the day or two on the trail or in the days before you leave.
Jul 22, 2017 at 8:00 am #3480581For reasons entirely explained by the still above, I’m not eating anything called “soylent” in any circumstance where I have an alternative.
Jul 22, 2017 at 11:40 am #3480657If i’m making shakes on backpacking trips, I’ve had more success using bottles with wider mouths than the Smart Water bottles. I tend to spill too much powder using the Smart Water bottles. That’s just me though. If you’re careful, I’m sure you can do it.
Personally not a big fan of Soy Protein Isolate as a protein powder though.
