A US programmer tired of wasting his time and energy preparing and eating food, decided to create a cocktail that contains all the nutrients you need to survive.
Rob Rhinehart, a 24-year-old man from Atlanta, has developed an all-in-one drink that provides a full range of vitamins and minerals.
According to the inventor himself, the drink has a wonderful taste, and for 6 weeks he still has not bothered him. In addition, despite the content of important elements of a balanced diet, it contains only a third of calories.
Rhinehart's cocktail was inspired by a family friend who was admitted to the hospital after losing a lot of weight and too weak to cook. In addition, the man set himself the goal of living as economically as possible, but staying healthy.
"I started reading books on biology and started thinking that maybe it doesn't matter for our cells whether we get nutrients from powder or carrots."
His drink, which he named Soylent, contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats and other important ingredients.
It uses olive oil and fish oil as fats, and oligosaccharides for carbohydrates, which take longer to be absorbed by the body than fructose and sugar, and give a longer energy boost. In addition, antioxidants and probiotics are added to the cocktail.

“For me, food is like leisure, like going to the movies, but I don't want to go to the movies three times a day,” explained Reinhart.
Moreover, such a solution helps the guy save several hours a day and hundreds of dollars a month. If earlier it took him 220 dollars not to buy groceries, and about 250 dollars to eat out, now he spends no more than 50 dollars a month.
Moreover, he claims that it is easy for him to lose weight by changing the proportions of the ingredients in the drink. The American hopes that his invention will help solve the problem of world hunger.
