When I used home-made soylent, I first put in (all) the water, then the powder. My shaker also has a plastic grid inset in the lid. Putting in the water first also lets you see exactly how much water you have (transparent measuring cup shaker). I don't remember ever having any problems.

Personally I'm more interested in knowing how much powder I have than how much water. (Though I'm not sure how accurate I can really be based on the volume markings - weight would be more accurate, but also a hassle.)

A small amount of water seems to work, though it does increase uncertainty in powder volume a bit.

I used a measuring cup (iirc 75ml) for the powder. My typical meal would be three cups of powder and 300ml water. It's quite thick that way, my friend used more water.
