Is it possible to replace all the food a single product: a review SmartFood

What it is

The full name of the food, which was sent to us, sounds like a SmartFood Russian Soylent. As a manufacturer specified "ART Modern scientific technologies", Russia, Moscow region. The site has a link to SmartFood declaration Customs Union of conformity with the requirements of food safety.

You've heard about the original "Soylent"From the US, but the product is positioned as a complete replacement of traditional food that seems too bold. Generally abandon conventional food? No, thank you. Before recommending such things, we need long-term studies with long-term effects analysis. Check on your own health as you do not want.

SmartFood, in fact, is a direct analog of "Soylent" but is presented with much more content of common sense and without fanaticism:

Convenient replacement of useful food when it is available. SmartFood glass replaces a full meal.

That is, the manufacturer does not call only eat this product, but offers to use it as an alternative to forced starvation and a snack like cookies defective. It is necessary to eat, but the food is not normal? Do not shoved a mysterious shavermu and do not run in the "MakDak"! Here, drink a cocktail with a certain calorie and optimal set of essential nutrients, without any nastiness.

With positioning seems to have understood. Go directly to the product. What is SmartFood? This dry blend of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Familiar with sports nutrition immediately asked: "Something like protein or gainer?". That's right, only the composition is selected without an accent to finish off the daily rate of protein when doing power sports and does not provide excess calories in case of problems with weight gain. In addition, the taste SmartFood, in contrast to the same sportpita, made as neutral as possible, without aromatic additives, but about feelings, we'll talk later.

Weight of the dry mixture in multiples of 500 grams. Below is presented a simplified and complete the product.

A person with no special knowledge of this list a little about what he is talking, so we ask nutritionists to share their opinions on the relevance of such a composition in the comments. Do not you think that here too much carbs?

Inside the package, found the dry mixture and measuring spoon 25 grams.

One technique is recommended to use 100 grams of mixture, that is, four spoons. In this case, the person will get 410 calories and effectively compensates for a light meal, and one package is enough for five times. portion of the cost is from 150 to 200 rubles depending on how many packages to buy at a time. If desired, the number one receiving the mixture can be changed on the basis of how much you are hungry and what is your daily norm of calories.

Pour 100 grams of the mixture in a shaker, we found that the powder took almost half of the tank.

According to the manufacturer's recommendations 100 grams of the mixture must be diluted with 200 mL of water.

At first it seemed that this amount of liquid is not enough. Still, we expect it to be drinking a cocktail, not a thick porridge. All fears disappeared when the mixture is dissolved in water.

The resulting cocktail was surprisingly liquid and homogeneous, almost as kefir. In fact, you can raise SmartFood in different proportions and different fluids, including milk, juices and so on. The only question is the preferred density of the final product, its taste and accuracy of counting calories.

Tasting

Taste - this is probably one of the most controversial features of this product. What should be similar to the mixture, which is a full meal? What tastes it stand out? Would not such an unusual thing nausea or vomiting? The tasting was attended by seven people from the editorial board. None of them ran to the toilet and did not complain of upset stomach or intestine.

Each tester was offered a sip a cocktail, try to compare the taste with some well-known to each product and to give a general assessment of the sensations.

Verdict

As you can see, taste SmartFood caused conflicting feelings, with only strictly positive assessment "tasty" was from a man who read about food substitutes and wanted to try such a thing. Perhaps as good a review is a result of satisfying curiosity. On the other hand, other testers no idea what they should drink, and, quite possibly, the neutral-negative evaluation caused confusion and banal "not tasted."

If you're a fan of a balanced diet and consider the food only as a set of substances with no special claims to the taste, the "food of the future" will be your discovery. Only one additional product for the whole day! Think of a more convenient option for easy accounting of calories and nutrients will not work.

About pronounced nutty flavor can not say anything bad. Perhaps it is worth it just to smooth out and make less eye-catching. But the feeling of chalk or whitewash the mouth certainly repels. The guys from SmartFood need to solve this problem. Familiar with sports nutrition prompt that improve the taste of the dry blend will use milk or juice instead water, but in this case it violated the idea of ​​"one product for everything" and added the extra calories that have consider.

In general, "food of the future" - this is though not very tasty, but useful, convenient and inexpensive alternative to fast food diversity that surrounds us and deceives attractive aroma.
