Soylent draws polarized reviews: the brand reliably delivers convenient, nutrient-dense meal replacements that keep many users reasonably full on the go, yet taste and texture often disappoint. Reviews credit flavors like Creamy Chocolate, Banana, Mint, and Strawberry as standouts and note plant-based, non-dairy accessibility, but cite chalky thickness, strong aftertaste, occasional GI upset (linked to allulose), inconsistent satiety as a full meal, and packaging quirks like hard-to-open caps and easy-to-tear wraps.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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.

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

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?

Taste awful. Got a variety pack to see how each flavor tasted and I did not enjoy.

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

A high protein version
Filing and tasty
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.
Definitely a hit or miss with people but I personally enjoy the taste of the Soylent's I've tried. I always felt like it tasted like leftover cereal milk but slightly thicker, and that's cool with me. If nutrition/ingredient-wise this lines up with you, it's a great option to have for inconvenient times (these were great to have in the car for a cross-country trip)
I have a hard time finding protein shakes that are both good and non-dairy, but strawberry Soylent takes the cake!! Overall a good meal replacement in the mornings for work or any time you may need an extra boost in the day.

Just a bit expensive for me to buy all the time!
It’s like a fancy ensure. The banana flavor is creamy, also the only one I’ve had. Not my jam but definitely respect what they’re aiming to achieve and executing.
Soylent is a great meal replacement for when you’re on-the-go or want something light to hold you over until the next meal. It doesn’t make me “full” but fills me enough to no longer feel hungry. The only flavor I liked enough to repurchase is creamy chocolate. (It takes just like chocolate milk.) I tried the mocha and chai flavors because I liked the idea of added caffeine, but I got tired of the taste pretty quickly. Vanilla was weirdly grainy but maybe that’s something they’ve improved on since I tried.
These got me through college! These are perfect for if you are on the go or someone who deals with nausea/issues with eating. The chocolate ones are my favorite, and I love the one with caffeine. They have definitely helped me get through a lot of late nights and early mornings! The price isn't bad for how filling they are. I would grab these over a protein bar any day.
These are fine! They do what they say they do: they're a meal replacement and I feel full when I drink one of these as a meal. The flavors are... well, some are tastier than others. And they all have a weird aftertaste, which is unfortunate but I'd still buy them for a quick meal here and there!

Expensive. Weird after taste. Bleh. All the engineers at my old company drank this. I did not get the hype.
I've had original, vanilla and coffee. They're all unremarkable. I'd never buy it again.
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.
