I have been making my own Soylent for a while now, and my recipe has worked well enough. I've also been following the "DIY Soylent" community for a while now, and there are a number of hurdles to jump before something like this becomes a viable source of nutrition. Without going into too much detail, current knowledge of human nutrition is still surprisingly lacking, and having an all-in-one food may not be a viable option. Users who have done blood tests after following a Soylent based diet for a while have gotten concerning results. Users are still experimenting and researching, though. If anyone is interested in this DIY community, it can be found at this address: http://discourse.soylent.me/
