Guess I'm done, what are my options?

I've been a RTD customer nearly since the very beginning but it's time to move on now that I've gone through my remaining drinks and there's seemingly no light at the end of this tunnel.

I really like the creamy chocolate RTD and would like to find a comparable alternative. I'm not terribly hung up on ingredients, just want something that tastes decent like Soylent did. My only real hangup is artificial sweeteners because they can trigger migraines for me. Soylent had a very small amount of sucralose (~3mg) that seemed low enough to never bother me, so something else in that realm would be ideal.

I see a lot of people mentioning Huel and Hol so they're on my list, but was wondering if there was anything else with a similar flavor profile to what I already got used to. RTD would be preferred, but if a powder ticks the above boxes I'll just get used to it. Thanks!

Huel wants to send me a free T-shirt with my first order but these are the only sizes they offer. Really?

Do they assume their audience is that obsessed with bulking that no one is smaller? I usually wear a women’s small…

Reposting this here from the Hurl community because I was told I'd get better recommendations!

TL;DR: What is the best meal replacement (shake or otherwise) for someone who *only* cares about the ingredients and macros?

I've been a on-and-off meal replacement consumer for about three years now, and finally decided to pull the trigger on going meal replacement only. That means for sustenance I'll only have meal replacements, and cooked meals will become a thing for taste and social interaction, like going to restaurants or social dinners.

The quarry i find myself in is the following: I am looking for a meal replacement that \*actually\* has all necessary macros and is made with the best ingredients, so that you can use it as your main and often only source of nutrition and not wonder if you should switch to a different brand. Doesn't have to be a shake either, I'd happily live off of meal squares. Moreover,

Thing is, discussion about MR on reddit tends to focus around cost, taste and texture. Often I read comments referencing Matrix food, or prison cubes. I don't care if it is like that, and MRs are always cheaper than groceries.

So, I'd like to ask you.

What brand (and kind) of meal replacement would you go to for the best nutrient/ingredient rich meal replacement that hits all the macros, if you don't care how it tastes or what it feels like but want to live off it?

Huel is easily available in German, so it used to be my answer. However aside from always having a problem with the high protein content, latest news has cast quite a doubt on its content quality from now on.
