It sounds like he prefers sweeter flavoured drinks. You can experiment with adding Torani syrops to lattes. Making a mocha at home is not hard, you just need to make an espresso shot (aeropress, for example) and froth some milk and chocolate in "manual milk frother" (amazon). Also, look at Mr Coffee Cafe Latte (again, coffee snobs, please don't kick me)

I've gotten the recommendation in the past of switching to glass pitchers instead to avoid the "sticks to the inside of the plastic pitcher" issue.
The Soylent pitcher is just a rebranded Takeya 2L pitcher you can get off Amazon if you want it faster, FWIW.
Takeya 2 Quart Pitcher. It came free on your first order of powder.
You'd pour an entire bag in with water and that was an entire days worth of food.
You can still buy it... but only on Amazon. Not on the Soylent site.
I drink lemon water. I take a lemon, roll it around to loosen up the inside, and quarter it length-wise.
I fill up a Takeya 2 quart pitcher most of the way with water and then squeeze the lemon quarters into it, and then drop the rinds in.
It gets a bunch of floaty goodness in there and tastes great.
Rich Chocolate and the PB Chocolate are the only two I use. Also, if you want more taste use less water, sure it'll be thicker but look at how much powder you are using and think about how much of that is vitamins/minerals/electrolytes/protein and how little of it is flavoring.
I put a few fingers of water in a 2-quart Takeya pitcher then put in my heavy whipping cream, then my mct, then my powder. I'll then only fill the pitcher up about 75% and that's my day's worth of Keto Chow. You can get by with less water but then the air gets behind the fluid and shoves it through the threading and gaskets when you shake it heh.
We use the Smuggler's Cove coconut cream recipe and it was fine. We batch in water-tight pitchers so it's easy to give them a good shake if needed.
I bought a Thermos for this exact purpose. The thermos is amazing. I actually fill it up with boiling water before I go to bed, and then it's ready for gong fu in the morning. Hot, but not boiling. Perfect.
I’ve never seen used Dr Brown’s pitcher but have been using this one for my twins Bormioli Rocco Hermetic Seal... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0131EKHO0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It’s worked well either for shaking it up or using a whisk, and can hold up to 68 oz
This is my favorite.
Charge it with hot water before you put your coffee in, the hotter the better. Tap hot is okay but not hot enough for coffee to stay warm all day. My similar model thermos kept coffee hot from 6AM to 8PM when I was in college and on campus all day. 8PM coffee wasn't steaming hot, but it was close. Also, strain as much of the grounds from your brewed coffee as possible when pouring into the thermos. Otherwise it may continue to brew and end up bitter. The alternative is to ensure you're pouring coffee at about 170° which isn't difficult, but does add something else to deal with in the morning.
It says dishwasher safe, but I wash all of my thermoses by hand. I trust that it's dishwasher safe, I just don't trust that it's dishwasher safe for more than a year of regular use. What happens is that the high heat from the drying cycle causes the vacuum seals to weaken and allow air in over time.
look into the dedicated french press style milk frothers (as opposed to an actual french press) they tend to have less parts
I have this one and it's really only 2 parts to clean, and I get acceptable results out of it. since it's steel it can also just put it on my stove directly to heat up the milk
You can buy the exact same pitcher from Amazon, however:
There's that thing called the spill not that I once saw on a youtube science video. Also, I think there are, out there, glasses that are studied not to tip over once they're on a hard surface.
The original soylent pitcher was the Takeya 2L. However any 2L will do, like this Rubbermaid.
I found a glass bottle on amazon that might work. I remember seeing a bottle just like it on a Tumblr post about converting them into baby bottles. I can't guarantee it through. The photo shows a cap measurement of 38mm which sounds about right. You can also find these exact bottles with the metal cap in random stores. I saw one at being sold at Office Depot with emojis on them near the check out line. I never tested it because I didn't want to order a bunch of bottles that might not work, I've settled with 8oz EvenFlo bottles personally.
My husband uses one of these so he can carry the morning coffee without worrying.
thinly slice some citrus fruits, (orange, lemon, lime) etc. muddle these just a bit and pour water over them into a large pitcher. I would go with just the lemon and lime, (kind of like a 7-Up flavor) maybe add some sparkling water to it.
​
Grapes, oranges, apples.
strawberries, blueberries, maybe even a blackberry or two (they are strong and will take over the flavor) maybe a little mint...
Basically just fruit and water. You can also buy these style pitchers for keeping them

I love making infused water! I was drinking way too many sugar-bomb drinks and it was a great way to move to water without getting bored of "just water."
You can get infusion pitchers pretty easily. I use this one and have had zero complaints. It's great to just experiment with different combinations and see what you end up liking. Cucumber lemon, strawberry mint, etc. Awesome on a hot day to come home to some cold fruit water, too!
When I first started Soylent 3 years ago I would use the Soylent Jug and the instructions on the package. It works but it's a whole lot of work and shaking. I switched to mixing it in a blender. I put 1L of water in the blender, dump in the bag, and press the Milkshake button. Pour it into the pitcher and fill with water to the line.
The best thing I did was replace the plastic Soylent Jug. I count tell you how many hours of my life I spent cleaning that thing. Everyday taking it apart, cleaning each piece and seal. And if I left a batch in too long all the extra effort needed to try and clean out the bad smells.
Do yourself a favor and get a glass jug. I got this one based on other people's suggestions. It's not perfect but it's way better than the plastic one. https://www.amazon.com/Bormioli-Rocco-Hermetic-Pitcher-Homemade/dp/B0131EKHO0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518801199&sr=8-1&keywords=68oz+glass+seal
Depends on the mood really. But I would recommend a frother over FP, much easier to work with and not expensive at all. I have this one, but there are cheaper ones

A centrifuge wouldn't really upset a game. In fact, there's a drink holder which works on the same principle, and makes it literally impossible to spill your drink as long as you're not bumping it into stuff.
It'll hold 5 cups of coffee and won't spill everywhere.
I use these. They fit perfectly in the door of my fridge. Use them for Simples, Orgeat, and Pureed Fruit
Also a root beer lover and homemade root beer kits were my favorite thing to do when I was a kid. You can find a few different kits on Amazon. Bed, Bath and Beyond has a selection of different root beers, varies by store.
Thanks guys. Ill actually be flying, but as a crewmember so security etc. isnt an issue and I have a bag thats a cooler. I have a two day trip starting tomorrow, so Ill juice tonight and bring them with and see what happens. I picked these up to use...

Highly highly highly recommend these Bormioli Rocco Frigoverre Jug with Hermetic Lid, 68 ounces https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000DE9B5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TjVWyb1WQ3A3W We've had three different sizes for 12 years now. They're tough and smells do not cross the lids ever. You can find all different sizes. I think Container Store has them, too. The glass is really thick.
So there's sort of two lines of thought when it comes to the juice losing nutrients right as you juice. That being one of them.
The other is that oxidation is what destroys the enzymes and nutrients that you want from the juice. So if you store it in an airtight container you don't have to worry about it as much. I have a masticating juicer (omega) and from what I hear and have read, the juice is good for up to 3 days! The ONLY juice I've heard that you should probably drink fairly rapidly after making it is carrot juice.
Also, if she's just starting out, here's some decent to go containers
HTH
Anything you can seal up and shake works well. I use one of those shakers you mentioned. Some people like glass jars. If you're interested in pitchers that can mix the whole bag at once the same pitcher sold by Soylent is available elsewhere. Here are some previous threads about the topic as well.
One 500 calorie meal is 106 grams of powder (1/4 pouch). Approximately 112 ml or 1/2 cup by volume.
I was worried about the plastic so I went with this glass pitcher instead. I've only used it a handful of times so far, but it has been perfect. The seal works well.
The plastic could be totally fine, I have no idea, but for the couple extra dollars I like the glass one a lot.
These are all good suggestions but they still take FAR more work then required and get a minimal result when compared to an immersion blender. If you are willing to spend a little bit of money on something that is good to have in the kitchen anyway, just get a glass pitcher and a immersion blender.
If you shop smart, this combo will cost you less than 60 dollars on Amazon and both have a million other uses around the kitchen. When you use these together your soylent will be silkier than Soymilk and taste better too, a better consistency than you could possibly imagine in only 3 minutes. Let this sit in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours after mixing it, give the pitcher a little shake before pouring it out, and you will get absolute perfection when it comes to Soylent without the hassle and mess.
I started using this combination when I was eating the impossible-to-handmix PeopleChow DIY and this made it drinkable, now with 1.6 it is like drinking whipping cream in comparison. Once you mix with the immersion blender it STAYS mixed and doesnt seperate right away, so just a tiny shake after letting it sit and you have perfect soylent ready to go into a regular glass whenever you want.
