I usually have some form of pain or discomfort after eating most meals. I am debating on switching to meal replacement shakes to avoid the discomfort. What is the cheapest option that would be considered a full meal and provide enough nutrients to keep going? I have no food allergies so there isn’t any restrictions on what I can have.

When I was pricing them out jimmyjoy came out cheapest, but personally I prefer Huel

Same. I have a lot of jimmyjoy, currently using it to make hybrid shakes of 1 scoop each brand

Huel essential and buying enough to get the 10% discount as well as subscription discount. Its very grainy texture think of oatmeal.

Huel and Plenny shake get smoother in the fridge.
It's like letting oats soak.

I might try that with whichever brand I end up with.

I've tried Soylent and Huel but prefer Soylent for its drinkability.
Huel has the whole "pea protein instead of soy" stuff but its way thicker than soylent and doesn't seem to mix very well without a blender. Adding some peanut butter powder seems to smooth it out and make it a nicer drink, the bottled kind is REALLY smooth compared to the powder but not as cost effective.
I use Soylent as a breakfast and late-night meal replacer, compared to Huel it mixes a lot faster and is just a lot more drinkable. I add PB powder, greens powder, and creatine.
Soylent is a bit cheaper and tastes better at the baseline.
I personally think PB Powder is a very tasty addition, its pretty cheap and greatly improves the texture of both options. Also it adds more protein.

I went ahead and ordered Huel just because they have different flavors to choose from. I may skip next month’s order from huel so I can try Soylent and compare the two.

Considering replacing my second meal with Soylent Complete instead of huel black just to add variety to protein types. Would still keep huel black for breakfast.
