1-Ingredient Shake?

Our friend Wes made a request for a shake with a single ingredient. Unfortunately, there's no one single ingredient that fulfills all our nutrient needs. Running the algorithm as-is, the best single ingredient shake is 4.6 cups of cooked spelt, which provides 1140 calories distributed over 237g of carbs, 49g of protein, and 8g of fat. This scores a 58% on RoboShake's nutrition scale, and is the most optimal option that doesn't cause an overdose of anything.

However, if I were stranded on a desert island, I wouldn't be worried about overdosing. I'd want a lot of calories with as many vitamins as possible. So I turned off RoboShake's overdose flags, and the 1-ingredient recipe it came up with was 5.8 cups of oat flour. It provides 10 times more manganese than you need per day (an overdose) but scores an 82% on the RoboShake scale due to its balanced macro-nutrients and solid helping of vitamins and minerals.
