Mixing

I mix a month's supply of powder (everything but the oil and water) in a 5 or 7 gallon bucket

with a mixer that's powered by my drill in reverse. Pour it into a second bucket (to turn it

upside down) to do the final mixing of what was on the bottom of the first bucket. I measure

amounts on a digital scale in a very large bread mixing bowl (holds about 3 kg of flour) and

put it into the bucket for mixing. You'll be glad if you get a lid like this for the bucket.

See each recipe's mixing calculator for mixing any number of days you want of the soylent mix or

the vitamin mix. Just replace "Days to Mix" number with the number of days you want to

mix.

To save time, I mix about 4-6 months at a time of the vitamins and minerals (the pills go in

the blender with a tight lid...I put plastic over the blender and then the lid...the dust is not

pleasant) including salt and xanthan, and mix all in the big bowl with a whisk and store.

Then just add the number of grams of this vitamin mix that the calculator says. So it's

only a few ingredients plus this powder to mix up a month's worth. This method means you can

get good vitamin accuracy with a scale with 1 g resolution.

For example, for 180 days of vitamins/minerals, I go to the recipe calculator and choose 180

days. This is many multivitamin pills, but I don't count them, I just weigh them. The

calculator gives the number of grams of multivitamins to use, and the number of other pills

(I just round to whole or half pills) Then I blend them all up. Then add this to the powders

in the big bowl and whisk.
