Ultimate Meal suggests, and almost requires to be edible, a Banana and Apple blended in. On its own it tastes like grass clippings. Not quite as user friendly or accessible as Soylent which differentiates the two.

I don't mind having a banana or an apple with meals. As a matter of fact, I bet many people will prefer that to give taste to soylent.

Arguably, Soylent sounds like it doesn't taste much better than grass clippings, so I don't think they're that different.
