What are some flavors that have a strong early presence?
I've just started using Soylent and I'm in the process of making it more palatable. Most of the flavors I've tried adding help, but they come in as an aftertaste.
What are some flavors I can try that might come in before the Soylent taste? Or, is there a way to figure out what kinds of flavors generally do?
Best Answer
I've never tasted soylent. But note that in order to make a flavor more powerful, you'd want the flavor ingredient in most quantity and a higher concentration. And the easy way to make any flavor "appear first" is to make it touch the tongue first.
Say, if you mix in lemon juice for flavor, consider spreading finely chopped lime zest on top of the glass. And maybe also throw in the drink something that goes with lemon. Perhaps mint leaves?
Now, as you bring the glass to your mouth you'll first smell citrus. next, the sour-bitter-sweet zest will touch your tongue and hopefully be more to your preference of dominance. Later you will encounter the mints, as if you were casually eating a rarely disgusting Ben & Jerry's.
Of course I don't know if Soylent goes with lemon. But either with chocolate, hot spice or tea (can you infuse tea in it? maybe on a very low flame?) I think the general approach is worth trying.

Answer 2
Soylent Spices
My favorite way to spice up my Soylet is with 3 Table Spoons of Durian Powder, and 1 Table Spoon of Tony Chacheres Creole Seasoning.
- Durian Powder. Durian Powder brings an authentic south-east Asian flavor that will remind of a warm summer day in Laos.
- Tony Chacheres Creole Seasoning adds a little bit of New Orleans into the mix. You can have too much Laos.
Try a cup of Soylent before, and a cup of Soylent after. I'm 100% sure you'll be pleased with the results. It truly is a marked improvement.
