How do you feel about meal replacement options? (lemmy.ca)

These can be smoothies, bars, drinks, supplements, etc.

Is there something specific you look for (ex. price, ingredients, specific nutrients etc.)?

Is there a brand you like / avoid (ex. soylent, huel, hol food, etc.)

Edit:

I definitely don't recommend fully replacing your diet with them. I know some people use them instead of other processed food / fast food / skipping meals entirely, and that's the use case I had in mind for myself

I currently have Holfood chocolate flavor. Tastes pretty good, high in protein, not too filling. Sometimes, I'll add in a scoop of unflavored whey to up the protein and calorie content.

I've had Soylent in the past, but I've never liked the flavour. Then at some point, they changed the formulation and it made me puke when I had it. Holfood vanilla is like a slightly more palatable version of Soylent if you like that neutral flavour.
