I have a gastrointestinal condition and had to eat exactly that for a while. The main problem is the taste is not so good, it has no texture, it's boring and there is no variety. It doesn't feel like eating. After a month of drinking that stuff for meals I almost wanted to break down and cry.

It doesn't sound much different from Solyent. I doubt it will solve any of those problems long term.
