I've been thinking of ordering from one of those what I like to call bachelor chow services such as Huel or JimmyJoy. I'm disabled and often don't have the energy to cook for myself but I really want to order out less. Would this be a good investment? They are around 2-3 dollars a meal, but shipping kills that.

I bought a bag of monkey chow like from the meme. It's fine but you had to dip it in hummus cause it is dry.

Meal replacements are overrated. Just get a big bag of protein powder from Costco. Mix in whatever other powder you can find and you are set. Better product, probably easier and cheaper to work with. Then just have a multivitamin and a muffin occasionally and you have the superior version of the experience

If you look at the ingredients on all these it's basically just oats, protein powder and a crushed up multivitamin. Silicon Valley basically re-invented gruel/porridge.
