What is slop on Big Brother?

Slop is a meal that contestants on Big Brother are made to eat.

Only contestants who are being punished are made to eat the basic food. The “Have-Nots” on the TV show are given slop for all three meals in a day.

It is a bland meal that consists of very few ingredients, including steel-cut oats, whey protein, soy protein, vitamin powder, and mineral powder.

It is designed to contain all essential vitamins and nutrients, so although not tasty, it does provide the houseguests with all they need.

However, there are some add-ons, which include:

• Balsamic vinegar
• Olive oil
• Vegetable oil
• Hot sauce
• Ketchup
• BBQ sauce
• Mayonnaise
• Mustard
• Pickles
• Relish
• Salsa
• Soy sauce
• Steak sauce
• Worcestershire sauce
• Honey
• Black pepper
• Garlic salt
• Crushed red pepper
• Salt
• Vanilla
• Basil
• Bay leaves
• Cinnamon
• Leaf oregano
• Paprika
• Parsley
• Rosemary
• Brown sugar
• Artificial sweetener
• Powdered creamer
• White sugar
• Tea
• Protein powder.

Back in 2022, a user took to X to write that Big Brother slop should no longer be served on the reality television series, writing: “We don’t need have nots & slop on Big Brother.”

How can I make my own Big Brother slop?

CBS previously released the secret recipe of the Big Brother slop on X in June 2017.

Food blogger couple Brownie Bites also made a version of the slop, which they shared on their website.

Fans can make their own slop from Big Brother with the following recipe:

To make the slop, fans will need 3.5 cups of uncooked steel-cut oats.

The recipe also requires 3/4 cup, plus two tablespoons of unflavored whey protein powder.

A key ingredient is also the half cup of unflavored soy protein.

In order to make sure the contestants get their daily nutrients, the recipe also asks for four teaspoons of vitamin and mineral powder.

First, bring 12 cups of water to a boil and add the steel-cut oats.

Cook for about 25-30 minutes while stirring constantly to stop the oats from getting stuck to the pan.

Once the oats are cooked, the other ingredients are simply added and combined.
