The time is near. And to calm your anticipation, we wanted to give you some information about our new recipe and the choices that we’ve made. Now, if you’re new to Lents and full-meal replacements, continue reading below. If you’re a master of macro’s, micro’s and have a good sense of knowledge about lents, continue from chapter 2 to get insights into our new formula.

1. A real energy drink

We get this question a lot; What the hell is Lently? The idea is kind of new and derived from the initiators of the full meal in a single shake; the US based Soylent. At this moment there is nothing really like lent products but the closest comparables are weight-loss shakes and pre/after workout shakes. Our shakes taste more natural tho and we’re Europe-based.

The idea behind a lent is that you gain all the necessary nutrients in a convenient and easy manner. Mix the powder with water or milk and your meal is done. In the US it’s big in Silicon Valley, where tons of guys and gals work on realizing their dreams. Which can take a lot of time and leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to food. Pizza boxes, noodles and take-a-way in general are the persistent image surrounding the startup scene.

With that idea in the back of our minds, we’ve set up Lently and developed a shake that consists of natural ingredients and delivers a punch. You gain all your vitamins, minerals, fats, fibers, carbohydrates and proteins.

All these nutrients are good for your brains, cardiovascular system, bones, kidneys and much more. And due to quick preparation you’ll save time, money, energy and focus so you can stay concentrated on your tasks at hand.

2. The changes in the recipe and the ‘why’s’

We were happy with our previous formula. With a small spike in nutrients here and there, the balance is good and the taste is just great. But we wanted to improve. We decided to get the dialogue going and ask you guys what you thought of our shakes. We’ve received a lot of information about your experiences with our product and with this feedback, and after combining your input with our insights, we went to work on improving our recipe.

Chia and Sunflower, are out/Come in flaxseed, rapeseed oil and hemp protein.

Our previous recipe was gritty. With the oats, rice flour, chia- and sunflower seeds bringing a lot of healthy nutrients, they also added almost chewable chunks to the shake. Whilst some of our customers liked the idea of chunks (“I like something to chew, even though it’s supposed to be a drinkable”) others were less keen on the idea of having small pieces in their shakes (“I really like the taste, the texture however leaves much to be desired..”).

So we decided to remove the chia- and sunflower seeds and look for something else. The ingredients that replace the seeds, make the shake smoother, a bit less gritty but also pack the same punch. We started experimenting and we decided to go with flaxseed, rapeseed oil and you’ve guessed it; hemp proteins.

A summary of the new ingredients and their benefits;

Hemp is rich in omega fats, magnesium and proteins.

Flaxseed is full of proteins and fibers.

Rapeseed Oil is packed with fatties, vitamin E & K and contains omega 3 and 6.

The flaxseed and rapeseed oil have given the shake a much smoother and a more creamy texture. Making it easy to mix with water and still remaining thick! If you wish to get technical and get an overview of all the adjustments, check out the Lently changelog, https://goo.gl/elpImX

3. The Holy 1.0

This formula has been dubbed 1.0 and you may decide if it’s holy (I just wanted a catchy title). It means this is the final experiment in creating a shake with this composition, in this phase. This experimentation will continue in the future as we believe the shake should be adjusted and changed for the better at any time. With new information and new means of working in different and better compositions of the nutrients.

This formula is balanced and aimed for general use. It’s compiled in such a way that your intake per meal is 25% of your daily DRI.
