I'm sure some of you have heard of this product which started as a kickstarter project. It's basically a powder that promises to provide your body with enough nutrients for the whole day in 3 servings. In theory, there will be no need for you to eat anything else to give your body the nutrients it needs, they are not making that promise official yet but that's what they are going for. This is of course a VERY BIG statement and we are all right at feeling skeptical about this, but if it's possible to replace one of my not-so-healthy meals of the day for something like this then it might be worth a try. I would like to know if any of you guys have experienced any problems with the ingredients they use.

You can follow these links to find more information about the ingredients and nutrition facts. The only thing that stands out is Sucralose (20mg per serving) but I've never tested how my body reacts to it. What do you guys think?
