How goes production?

It's getting close to the previously noted May 15th start date for shipping. Everything still on track?

I'm getting excited to try this out!

Update May 17th (Sunday): A more official thread has been created to highlight some progress and delays Progress & Delays

Update May 15th, 2015 (Friday): Maltodextrin is in!

Update May 12th, 2015 (Tuesday): Standup pouches are in. They will be white. Almost went with black but then figured white would stay cooler if left in direct sunlight (by an accident).

Everything is almost track so far with a few caveats. I will need to do an update in the next few days to those that ordered so everybody knows what's going on without having to check out Reddit all the time.

Things that still need to be received:

  1. Chia seeds (ETA May 11th)
  2. MORE maltodextrin (ETA May 15th)
  3. StandUp Bags (ETA May 12th)

Things supposed to be in shipment but is ??? (Update: Arrived randomly):

  1. Kirkland multivitamins: I'm NOT too worried... as from what u/orlyrlyowl helped me figure out, there's some not so great things about it in the first place. I have adjusted some micros accordingly.

Things that are messed up:

  1. Scoops: I got in talks with someone that could maybe 3d print custom scoops and never made the order for scoops. The option here is I can send out a scoop separately later - or that person can wait.

Things that are better than anticipated:

  1. Vitamin D will be integrated: I've got the scale, the weights, a better education behind it, and someone to verify my work.

Things I'm in process of doing/finishing.

  2. Jackalent 2015.06: Pretty much what Jackalent Economy is now + xanthan gum + different activity levels, including a 3 kcal version.
  3. Jackalent Economy 2015.06: Imagine a nutritionally complete flour. No oil included, but no maltodextrin as well. Adaptable.

I'm pretty excited about this myself. I've been really forcing this stuff on non-protein shake guzzling people, and the consensus is the taste is great, but it's hard to get past the texture of rice protein. This likely has to do a lot with the mesh size, which I think can be fixed with either a different source, or somehow grinding it further (I'd need a better/different type of mill).

Can you please update this post as things come in just so we can see what's going on?

Absolutely. Already made a few updates like the Chia seeds caming in and Kirkland Multivitamins randomly showing up. At this rate though with Maltodextrin arriving on the 15th, things are more likely to be heading out on the 16th.

Overall, sounds good! I can't wait to try it.

So excited! How are your supplies? I pre-ordered the 120 meal pack, but if it tastes good I can see myself needing more in a hurry :)

Supplies are great!

Malfunctions have not been. I've created a new sticky to hopefully highlight some of the issues I've run into.
