I wanted to point out a few things.

1. I think I made a mistake the first time I made them. This last time, they were very, very watery and I had to keep adding more and more time.

2. The spinach needs to be squeezed of water. Really squeezed.

3. I hope people don't make these things thinking that they are really good. They aren't. They are at best, okay.

They fullfill the need that a Supershake (also not good) would. Portable, convenient, healthy food. Because you chew them, they are more satisfying that a Supershake.

I absolutely love food. But, there are times when I need to think of food as fuel and move on with my day. This is the food for that.

That being said, I present...

Soylent Yellow Bars

144g worth of powdered protein *
6 large omega-3 eggs
3 packs Splenda
6 tbsp flax seed, ground
24oz yellow summer squash, cut up (about five medium squash)
2 cups raw cauliflower flourettes

6 servings

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend eggs, squash, and cauliflower until very well pureed. Pour into a mixing bowl and stir in protein powder, Splenda and flaxseed meal. Mix well.

Spray a flat baking dish (I used a standard 10x7 inch pan ) with cooking spray and pour it in. A 9x9 pan also works well.

Bake for about 35-45 minutes, until a knife blade comes out pretty clean. The very center may still be a little soft when a knife blade is inserted.

Cut into 12 bars. 2 Soylent Yellow Bars per serving.

Nutrition (per 2 bar serving): Calories 263, Fat 11g, Carb 7g, Fiber 3.5g, Protein 33g

Nutrition Info created using a low carb protein power which provides 90 Calories, 2g F, 1g C, and 17g P, per scoop. Your protein source may vary.


* The Soylent Corporation keeps the original recipe carefully guarded. Personally, I use 8 scoops of vanilla protein powder to get to the 144g of protein. Use any powdered protein source that you like.


Note: The recipes for Soylent Blue and Soylent Red seem unlikely to be revealed.
