In other Soylent news, the powdered foodstuff has a new "version release":
Soylent founder Rob Rhinehart has continued to update Soylent's formula, tweaking the contents and altering the micro- and macronutrient blend in response to user feedback and also actual science and lab-work. The latest change, to "version 1.4," is the most significant since the product's launch: in addition to ditching the often leaky bottles of oil, the amount of soluble fiber has been greatly reduced, from 10g per pouch to 3.9g; the total amount of fiber has been reduced from 30g to 16g per pouch.
Other changes include reduced portion size (the pouches indicate 4 rather than 3 servings), a smoother texture, a more neutral and less dough-like flavor, and less "butt stuff." Why? "Some people's gut bacteria are not accustomed to the soluble fiber."

Thanks for the links. It's a bit unfortunate that the recipe-links to diy.soylent.me don't work anymore, but at least it gave me some search terms.
BTW: Not entirely soylent-like, but to get simple ketogenic food, following mixtures worked for me (and might be mixed in a blender as well):
- cottage cheese (40% fat), can probably be mixed with flax-seed to help digestion, plus some herbs for taste
- spinach with blue mould cheese (could be turned into a shake easily when adding some cream)
- If I actually want something with more substance, self-made flax-seed crispbread: Mix crushed flax seed with hot water, add some pure cacao powder for taste. Bake in thin layers. Eat like bread, with butter and liverwurst/cheese/whatever (This enabled me to enjoy breakfast with my family)
