Pros
Pro Solid
Solid food requires chewing, which exercises muscles, stimulating saliva production which contains ions to remineralize teeth. It uses more calories to digest, and doesn't cause as much of an insulin spike as a liquid meal.
"In a 2012 study in the journal Obesity, researchers found that 80% of those consuming liquid meals were hungry after 2hrs of eating, compared to only 5% of those consuming a solid meal (with the same macronutrient composition)."
Pro Free of some common allergens
No wheat, soy, corn, or peanuts. Does contain eggs however. Unfortunately their current manufacturing facilities use equipment that processes some of these ingredients, so it's not safe for those with a severe peanut allergy. This may change in the future.
Cons
Con Extremely bland flavor
The flavor is very bland. Only the chocolate chips have any flavor.
The instructions that come with the product suggest microwaving it and adding butter. Cinnamon and sugar/faux sugar maple syrup or honey additions are common to make it more palatable/edible.
