Six months ago why browsing Reddit I came across a thread asking if an adult can survive on a diet of exclusively human breast milk - and while they can’t (there’s aren’t enough calories in breast milk for an adult) somebody did mention a product called Soylent. Soylent is a powered food that you mix with water, it has all the vitamins, amino acids and nutrients that the average adult needs to thrive. After reading about the product for a few months on reddit.com/r/soylent I decided to finally purchase some online and give it a shot. Soylent promises to give me everything my body needs while providing me more time to spend working on the things I love.

Starting today I will begin a week on a diet of nothing but Soylent and water. A single ‘meal’ of Soylent is 500ml, which I don’t think will be enough to make me feel full but I’ll see how I go. My primary concern is that with only 3g of fibre per serving, Soylent won’t have enough fibre for my particular dietary needs. If I find this to be an issue (constipation) I’ll add some psyllium husk to my meals which should fix things up.

As Soylent is a fairly new product there is no way to measure the long term health effects of a diet high in this type of food, meaning that the community currently using Soylent are essentially beta testers. I should also note that just because somebody can live on Soylent exclusively, it certainly doesn’t mean they should. Eating regular food has many benefits that Soylent doesn’t provide such as sharing a meal with friends. This is a project that I’m undertaking purely out of interest and is not something I plan on maintaining long term. I will do my best to update this blog every day with my progress.

Red Velvet Brownies

Ingredients: 1 cup  unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 4 large eggs, at room temperature 2 oz red food coloring 4 tsp pure vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder ½ tsp salt  

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Butter and flour an 9 X 13 clear glass baking pan.   In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.  Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in food coloring (if not using food coloring add 4 T of water or milk) and vanilla, mix until the color is fully incorporated. Mix flour, cocoa and salt in a separate bowl.  Slowly add in the flour mixture being very careful not to over mix..  Do not over mix.  The batter will be very thick.   Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir up the batter with a rubber spatula once or twice just to ensure all of the flour has incorporated from the sides of the bowl and there isn’t anything stuck on the bottom of the bowl.   Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes. 35 minutes for a thin crust on top and gooey underneath.  Set aside to cool, cut into bars and serve.

Feeling fierce? Texture is key to a bigger, bolder Faux-Hawk Braid, perfect for making the most of summer’s last nights. Here’s how to get the look.

1. For texture, spray TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Sea Salt Spray and create waves with a flat iron. Finger comb hair to break up waves. Separate the top half of hair into three sections and tease the middle section.

2. Clip the top section aside and pull back the two side sections, securing them into a pony.

3. Unclip the top section of hair and begin a Dutch braid from the front, braiding along the center of your head towards the nape of your neck.

4. When your braid meets the ponytail, incorporate the pony into the braid.

5. Secure braid and gently tug on its edges to loosen.
