Soylent reviews and discussion

I used to drink meal replacement shakes when I was younger as an addition to what I ate. I’ve always struggled with stomach issues so I’ve hunted for solutions to increase my nutritional intake while not adding to my overall queasiness. After discovering I have a whey allergy I realized that all of the shakes and protein powders I have tried, include whey. Enter this stuff. Is it as tasty as a big thick glass of chocolate milk? Couldn’t tell Ya, but I can tell you that I can drink these. The dark chocolate and the vanilla are both pretty good and I have used the vanilla flavored as a milk replacement in some basic baking. This is the first one of these that I can drink. So yeah, 5 stars from me. I’m actually tastes good enough to buy again so they win my loyalty.

Good tasting, have had a few with breakfast to increase my protein intake. Vanilla is my favorite flavor, but chocolate and coffee were good too.

The Mint version was damn tasty, and this worked well as a meal replacement. Biggest complain is that the local stores were clsoing out on them and not getting any new stock in. When they got stock back in the price was higher and the bottle size smaller. at these prices, its not usable long term. Bulk powder isnt much better price waise.

I drink a lot of meal replacement drinks and was curious about soylent. I tried the chocolate and the mint, thinking I might like them and maybe my daughter would as well. These just were not it for me to the point where I could not finish them. My daughter also wasn't into the taste. I was excited about the flavors and the branding is nice, but for the price I was disappointed in the whole experience.

The taste is artificial and the texture feels like milk mixed with sand. Overall, this product isn't for me.

Think of a really thick, weirdly sweet Ensure. That’s what Soylent tastes like. Was hoping to like either the Vanilla or Chocolate flavor but both didn’t meet my expectations on taste.

Listen, I understand why a normal person would give Soylent a bad review. If I could have a Mcdonald's hamburger instead that would be the clear winner. However, I have celiac disease (severe gluten allergy) and IBS. At some points, I have trouble stomaching anything at all. Soylent saved me at these times. I always keep it at my house. I personally like the chocolate and the flavor isn't even bad. I think it tastes a lot better than drinks like Boost.

Soylent is great in theory. I love their mission.

Taste is fairly chalky. Would label it just ok. While I do find the nutrition to be decent, it could be improved upon. Additionally cost is very high compared to similar products.

I’ve only had their shakes. You’d drink this for sustenance, not flavor. It’s gritty, strange tasting, and overall not great, but you will get some nutrition out of it.

Personally hated the taste of this.

Used this when I got my wisdom teeth out because it was the only way to get proper nutrients. It tastes. pretty good, and a little chalky, but I wouldn't eat it daily unless I couldn't chew for some reason.

It was convenient but the drink is thick and sometimes hard to swallow. Taste wise it was fine until I got tired of it and by then I stopped my subscription and had a lot of bottle left over that I didn’t want to finish.

These have a purpose and get the job done. I'd only recommend having one if you seriously don't have the time for food. You have to drink them cold (strawberry is the best flavor to me) or else they're pretty gross. If you have the option of eating food, do that instead.

I've only tried a few flavors, but they were pretty good. Coffee gave me a caffeine buzz for sure! I don't drink these regularly at all, but the concept is really cool and really works for someone who is maybe having difficulty getting in calories and nutrients, or who isn't a huge cook.

I am usually not picky with foods or beverages but I will not drink this again. I got it on a whim but with whatever additives they put it I honestly found it awful which is a shame. Don’t be fooled by the packaging and leave this on the shelf.

If you are able to eat food, then you really do not need this product. The taste is artificial and the texture feels like milk mixed with sand. Overall, this product makes me feel very sad.

Soylent is good for a meal on the go and it works for the macros but I wouldn't use this as a consistent meal replacement. The taste is fine but doesn't beat eating a meal with solid food where chewing is also part of the experience. It's good if you need something quick and is portable but I would only use this once a while and for emergencies.

Good meal replacement for the go or when on a time crunch. Ingredient list looks like many nutrients required for 1 meal is fulfilled.

Nothing special about these. I bought a trial pack on Amazon, and really just did not love the taste. I was excited to have a quick lunch option, but after drinking the first one I never finished any of the others. Way too expensive for what they are honestly.
