So... much... liquid.

Schmoylent: Day 3
Breakfast: Vanilla Schmoylent with MCT oil

Several things have happened in the last 24 hours.

First, I totally needed a snack yesterday. I ended up eating some cheetos and some dry Kashi GoLean cereal (yeah, I apparently really like foods with no flavor that give no joy when eating them). One serving of Schmoylent is not enough for breakfast and lunch. Maybe a serving and a half would be though.

Next, I had my first Schmoylent snack. I was playing games with friends last night and they were snacking on various things. I  had my Schmoylent in the fridge, mixed up for breakfast this morning, and I thought "Hey, I made a full 1/3 bag for breakfast... maybe I could have a schmoylent snack?" Turns out everyone at the table is following this silly sludge adventure of mine and all thought this was not only a good idea, but wanted to try the stuff too. Also, what? People are actually following this? It seems I am not the only one who finds feeding themselves just way too much effort some of the time.

My favorite comment  from my friend Logan was "Could you just eat the powder and then drink some water instead?"

I have no intention of trying that, but my idea of adding powdered gravy mix was not dismissed out of hand by Zak, who is an awesome chef. I might try that tomorrow.

So back to today. I have had a really small amount of Schmoylent and I've had a latte. It turns out that trying to drink water, my caffeine, and my food is really exhausting. I do not want to consume that much liquid. I am now thinking I might add a starbucks "Via" to the rotation of things I add when I don't think I am going to have time for my normal first thing in the morning coffee (as I didn't today). Because caffeinated Schmoylent is sounding really awesome right about now! I am also wondering what it would taste like if I added some various alcohols. This month might get really weird.

Coffee > Schmoylent for my happiness levels

So it's 11am and I have eaten very little of my breakfast. This is feeling like a normal day. I'm mostly just full on my latte. I also have lunch plans with Sami, so I get to eat real food in an hour or two! YES! Hawaiian food!

I do like food, I just don't like the effort of acquiring food that I am going to eat all by myself. Social eating is wonderful.
