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

    The premade soylents are pretty good, and I regularly have them with a protein bar as my lunch. They’re pretty expensive in my opinion, so I try and look for them on sale, but the ease of not having to prep lunch is often worth it. I try and keep it under $2 a bottle for the 14oz ones, which still feels expensive to me, but some of the lunches I prep are around that cost, and it’s way cheaper than going out to eat (I keep a spare one at work in case I ever forget to bring lunch)

      I’ve lost 20lbs in the last 2 weeks replacing 2 of my meals a day with Soylent RTD drinks! They’re great for dieting!

      I get a pretty good deal, ordering them by the case on Amazon.

      Edit: YMMV, but I was eating a lot of crap and eating way too much. Soylent makes it very easy to eat better and to control my caloric intake.

        Should be careful about losing more than 1-2% of your bodyweight per week. Regardless, that sounds like amazing progress! Congrats!

          I went from 206 to 186. I’m hoping to stabilize around 175-170. Good advice nonetheless, and thanks for the support!

          One of the things I like the best about Soylent is that it’s both really tasty, and it’s also quite filling. Sometimes I get the urge to snack, so I just eat some fruit such as an apple or pear.
