  • I love the idea of these drink, but didn’t care for the taste of it at all. I don’t think i would purchase this again.

  • The texture was ok but the taste was very bland and it was hard to get down. It also upset my stomach. The packaging is kind of bland, almost looks like a store brand version of a product.

  • Solid vegan nutrition in a simple shake. A nice option for very busy times when you can't take a break to eat lunch. These shakes will give you the nutrition and energy you need. The Vanilla flavor is pretty good, but it's more about the function than the taste.

  • I feel that as the "staple" of meal replacement, soylent could do better. The taste is not so bad but I hate that they use artificial sweeteners. I am very glad they are plant-based, though, for sustainability reasons

  • I bought a case of these a while back, and haven't drank them in a long while. They're in my emergency kit, as I think that's when I'll appreciate them the most. I like the idea of a complete meal replacement drink in times when you just don't have time/energy to get real food, but they're not the tastiest in my opinion. Fine in a pinch!

  • Filling meal replacements. I've tried them since they first launched, with the plain, and those were pretty disgusting and unpalatable without adding something. But their new flavor line is pretty good. The coffee one is the best.

  • I've been drinking and enjoying Soylent for a while, however the one problem l've had during my entire time using it has been the fact the bottles are excruciatingly hard to open. I usually get my wife's trainer to open it for me when he comes to our house to train my wife. However this is inconvenient and I can't schedule my day around him helping me open the bottle. Any recommendations to make the bottle easier to open? If you do see this Soylent please make it easier to open!!!

  • I have only tried the chocolate flavor. It is tasty and filling. I drink one around 7 and it gets me through until lunchtime. They are reasonably priced and seem to be easily available.

  • Some flavors are better than other! The chocolate is amazing, like a glass of chocolate milk. It’s a good way to get a chunk of protein in.

    Some flavors need help in the taste department.

  • I have been ordering Soylent online for over 2 years. I was working in a warehouse and it was an excellent meal to have, give me a shot of protein and energy. I have not found a flavor of Soylent that I dislike. It delivers on it's promise

    not much, i'm not sick of it yet, so that tells me something

  • Soylent updated its flavor line up in 2020 and thier new banana shake is AWESOME. This is nothing like the older shakes that were plain or thick - this is creamy and delicious. I have tried most of the updated, new flavors and really like them all, but Banana is exceptional and I haven't found any other vegan banana shakes.

    Nothing - maybe making a smaller portion to be used as a coffee creamer?

  • These are good for people with appetite issues

  • I tried the Creamy Chocolate shake, but it tasted too much like a nutritional shake for my liking. I do like that these offer a meal in a bottle, but the taste could be improved. I'm not opposed to these.

  • The mint chocolate flavor left kind of a weird aftertaste and the drink had a weird mouthfeel to me. Not my favorite.

  • I have literally no clue who is drinking these but it CERTAINLY is not me. I’ve tried multiple different flavors, and every single one of them tastes so bad to me. Cheers to those who love it - I just can’t find a flavor I like.

    Oof. More user testing on flavors?

  • Fills you up but doesn't have an amazing taste. If you need something quick, go for these, but don't expect a tasty drink.

  • Tasted great and not powdery but it didn't keep me as full for as long as I was hoping for the price

    Feedback

    A high protein version

  • If you're someone that--I don't know--doesn't like solid food or needs an extra hit of calories, then the Complete Meal shake could be a good alternative. Otherwise, it's rather chalky and didn't "wow" me. There are other shakes on the market that I would recommend first.

    The chalky texture, mainly.
