I have always had to add a banana to my protein shakes, just so the taste would be bearable. (Please note that my picture, with the shake made, it is green because of the spinach. This does not have a green coloring, but a nice brown coloring, unless you add greens, to your shake. That will change the coloring of your shake, based on what you add to it)."

Best Meal Replacement & Protein Drinks
Living off a diet of frozen corn dogs and ramen, they grew frustrated with the effort and cost associated with purchasing, preparing, and consuming food that was neither healthy nor enjoyable. Recognizing an unmet need, CEO Rob Rhinehart, alongside co-founders Matt Cauble, John Coogan, and David Renteln, developed Soylent as an experiment. The product was aptly named in homage to Harry Harrison's 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! The Soylent team is continuously iterating on its formula to improve this new, engineered food staple, ranging from sourcing the most sustainable, efficient ingredients to adjusting the taste, texture, and balance of nutrients. Soylent is supported by a passionate community that embraces our mission of expanding access to quality nutrition by improving the food system through innovation. Each bottle of Soylent Drink is more than just 20% of your daily nutritional requirements, it’s the freedom to let you choose how you want to spend your time. Ingredients include isolated protein from soy, sunflower oil, slow-burning carbs from beets, and all essential vitamins and minerals. Soylent Drink is a nutritionally complete, ready-to-drink meal replacement in a bottle.

"I knew what my problem was; I eat at McDonald's two or three times a day sometimes, I like to eat a lot of sweets, and I practically held the saltshaker upside down. I am mentally lazy, I don't have time and I'm not going to take the time to do that. Unscrewing a bottle and drinking it is about all the mental energy and time I am willing to expend."
"Once I didn't have the time to meticulously prepare everything I ate, I began gaining weight and losing energy. I put off trying Soylent because I am a picky eater and wasn't willing to drop $40 on something I may not be able to take two sips of, but I decided to take the risk. I wouldn't drink it for every meal, but being able to satisfy my hunger throughout the day with Soylent, a nutrition bar, and fresh fruits and veggies allows me to take the time to cook a simple healthy meal for dinner when I get home, and gives me easy energy for a quick workout in the morning."
"It's pretty tasty if it's people."
"When ever I feel that I drink a Soylent and what ever nutrient my body was craving Soylent has and the craving goes away. Again I want to stress Soylent isn't a miracle, drinking it isn't going to have you shed pounds. However you will most likely feel more alert and better (I pegged myself at about 15% better). You can use it to monitor your calorie intake easier and through calorie management lose weight,but that isn't Soylent causing you to lose weight it's strictly the fact you're counting calories."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My experience has been similar to others, although I don't have as many issues with the separating -- maybe once or twice, but I'm chalking that up to the coffee I used it in, rather than the product, because I've had the same container of nutpods behave differently depending on the beverage. I got lax with that, because I was carrying it around in my purse to use on a trip, and by day two or three it was noticeably not OK."
"I was dismayed when my doctor insisted that I go sugar and dairy-free as I love coffee but cannot drink it without creamer."
"After concluding my research on sugar (long after my research on dairy), I opted to replace my beloved Sprouts-bought Califia Farms Almondmilk Hazelnut creamer, for Nutpods. I couldn't believe that the 2g of sugar in each serving of my former creamer, was actually adding up to about 8g given the generous pours I wasn't aware of."
"Michele from Nutpods contacted me to ask how I like it, and I was honest in saying it wasn't for me, and she told me to initiate a return through Amazon for a full refund, even though I did use half of one container."
"I found it takes 3 Tbsp in a cup of coffee to reach that creamy mouth-feel/taste that most people desire, which equals roughly 30 calories, so that’s not too bad."
"I gave them a higher rating because I love everything this company is for or trying to do."
"This non-dairy creamer is great because it tastes like pumpkin spice but without the flavor being overwhelming."
"Great product."
