Me too. Good solution to getting the convenience and complete nutrition benefits you'd get from a Soylent or Soylent-like product but with the additional hedge that there may be yet unknown beneficial micronutrients in whole food ingredients that you don't get from an isolated nutrient slurry like Soylent.

For those who don't know Mealsquares, they're made from mostly whole food ingredients (Whole grain oats, eggs, milk, dark chocolate chips (chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, milkfat), whey, orange juice, rice bran, sunflower seeds, dates, sweet potatoes, apples, vegetable glycerin, chickpeas, carrots, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin, xylitol, iodized sea salt, potassium citrate, cinnamon, aluminum free baking powder, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, niacinamide (B3), calcium folinate, lactase, spices).

Only downside is the price but I don't try to replace home cooked meals with them, just some of those times when I'd go grab some fast casual food instead, or times when I'm busy and don't want to have to go get food.

Anyone who ends up trying them - be aware that they taste 500% better after 30 seconds in the microwave. They can be pretty dry and dense when you don't microwave them.
