Soylent 2.0 — Use less. Do more.

I still haven't tried Soylent but I'm certainly not the target customer. I love food and there are many healthy things I love that require little prep, too (like greek yogurt). That said, Soylent has an almost cult-like following and although niche today, I can see the potential. Here's the nutritional TL;DR: Soylent's shipping 2.0 this October.

I have Soylent every other day basically for breakfast, and sometimes lunch. It's a huge time saver and healthier than the alternative which is usually me not eating. I feel healthier and more energetic as well. Big fan, instant pre-order.

Hey, Soylent. Nice to see you here today. We made a Glitter card for you: https://glitter.club/d2k9evkY/ Send a note to hi@glitter.club if you’d like to take over this card and account. Hope you like it. xoxo

I am slowly finishing up my Soylent 1.5 order and this 2.0 release sounds like an amazing improvement. I don't always have the time to prepare Soylent in the morning and sometimes a quick run at the corner sandwich shop is less hassle than drinking Soylent. Not anymore apparently. I am really happy that this is another vegan release, because I would have to stop buying if they ever went back to non-vegan ingredients.

2.0? Aww... I had my first ones ordered last week! Does this mean I may have the 2.0? I did a unboxing and first taste impressions on it, check it out here: glad to see ya'll on here, keep it up!

I remember when Soylent launched I really loved the throwback name and the overall idea... but I'm not sure. I tend to work off of a daily intake of 1.5g protein per lb of lean body mass.. that puts me at about a 240g daily consumption of protein. That's probably a lot higher than most people would need, but still, each one of these drinks has only 20g protein. So obviously if this is designed to be a meal replacement drink, then they're basing their daily macro requirements off of something completely different - which is fine, but it'd be cool if there was a bit more info on the actual Soylent site. That said, this site is clearly targeted to people who are already onboard with Soylent, and who already know the math behind the daily macronutrient calculations, so I would imagine this is why that info isn't on the site. Personally I would be interested in seeing a non-soy version (despite the name), perhaps with a whey-based protein or even another vegetable-based protein. I think it could exist in tandem with the original formula quite easily. (Interestingly their powdered version uses brown rice protein)

1.5 was a vast improvement over 1.0, concerning chalkiness, nutrition, and bloating. Can't wait to try 2.0

For those who may not have realized, Soylent is also now available in Canada and has been for about 2 months. Anyone in Canada received an order yet or tried it?

Looking forward to the prepackaged recycled bottles. Solent is perfect for one meal a day. I mostly have it for lunch.

I also thought Soylent originally was designed to solve world hunger? I don't know where they went wrong since 'we have to be profitable' is not an excuse. still better than nothing..

I find the Soylent idea fascinating. It's much more than a meal replacement - it's an entire philosophy. Consider this exceptional statement from the founder - "The future of food is not the return to an agrarian society but the transcendence of it. In time Soylent will be synthesized directly from light, water, and air with designer microorganisms. Genetic engineering to enhance our microbiome, and eventually ourselves. I don’t know who was the first farmer, but I want to be the last. We will make food so cheap only the rich will cook." http://robrhinehart.com/?p=1192 I personally find this way of thinking fascinating. As for actually trying it out, I'm waiting for the promised "people" version to come out - I'm guessing they're saving it for 3.0 ;)

Looks great. Curious on the makeup of the bottles/recyclability. Its a great solve for the time/food/human issue but would be a shame if it contributed to the too many plastic bottles issue. It says highly recyclable however, would love to know the details. Will order some.

Is there a PH coupon code or anything? I'm interested in giving it a try now that it's getting a bit more mature...

Ambronite (http://ambronite.com/) is like Soylent but with organic, real ingredients. Quite a bit more costly at 9,99$ / meal but it actually doesn't taste too bad.

I used it for two weeks and wrote a blog post about it (albeit I didnt have the U.S. Soylent, but the European version/formula) - I don't mind and it does save a lot of time - if you can get past the taste, it's not for everyone/weaklings

It would be great if they offered weekly or bi-weekly shipments for those who don't have a ton of storage.

Would be curious if they had sample 2.0 tastings. Its an interesting concept, but if you're going to replace all your food with one drink, it should taste good! I've heard mixed things about the first versions taste.

Just tried this for the first time today - perfect post workout meal, Soylent 2.0 makes it super easy for me to get nutrition when I don't have the time to prepare a meal or get proper breakfast. Plus it tastes fine to me. Being a vegetarian, it is great meal replacement - I will try this on all days when I workout and will capture long term effects right here. Space-age food ftw !

You know, I'm of the opinion that food is one of those things that just *shouldn't* be disrupted. Call me old fashioned.

Pass.

Pros:

Their branding's on point.

Cons:

Just look how high up in the ingredients canola oil is and look no further.
