Recently I began to consume Soilent powder without mixing with water for lunch, in part out of curiosity, and also because then I would be less worried about the mixed solution going bad, especially if I had to leave the Soilent+water mix for an extended period of time at room temp or above. I mix it with water and drink it for breakfast but cannot keep the mixed liquid in fridge for lunch, it was my concern.
In sum, it was not that bad. FYI, I do not chug a pack, a meal, or even a big scoop at once. Of course I couldn't swallow that. Instead, I eat a handful of powder, little by little at a time. I also spread a meal over time, sometimes over several hours. It is hard to eat a lot in one sitting.
It is hard to swallow powder only because powder flying into your throat will hinder breathing. The trick is you shouldn't breath for a couple of seconds when you put the powder into your mouth. Stop breathing, pour a small amount of powder in your mouth, use saliva to solidify, then eat. Actually it doesn't feel too bad. I can even have the missing feeling of chewing a little bit.
Of course I drink water too. Just not together, separately. No worry about dehydration. Taste is subjective, and it is okay to me. It tastes like pancakes or ground cereal grains. I love to eat delicious food, but I do not consume Soilent for taste anyway.
I think I will keep consuming Soilent in this way when I use it as lunch replacement. I could just take powder in a bottle or shaker and mix with water when necessary, but actually I liked "eating" the powder for some reason. I can have the feeling of eating solid food, although not perfect. I like the taste somehow. I also felt less hungry when I do this, possibly because it takes more time to digest, or because I spread the timing of consumption over a long time. This might sound yuk or ewh to some, but you may want to give it a try.
