Soylent Vanilla Meal Replacement Shake, Ready-to-Drink Plant Based Protein Drink, Contains 20g Complete Vegan Protein and 1g Sugar, 14oz, 12 Pack

These are my favorite of the Soylent meal replacement flavors. I drink like half of one when I wake up in the night hungry, but I’ve also used them for work or long commutes. Fill you up for a good hour or two, just don’t forget these don’t replace drinking water. The banana flavor is somewhat more candy banana than real banana, if that matters to you. It’s not overly sweet (to me at least, and I dislike very sweet beverages).

First off thanks to Amazon for now giving me free same day! Ive been on Soylent for a year and a half! I simply cant thank Soylent enough. Two words. Life changing. Im a busy IT professional and I have always hated vegetables to boot. This resulted in eating like utter $&@! my entire life. If the recipe was more than push 3 on the microwave i didnt eat it. Low energy. Lots of cakes and sweets. Poor nutrition. I was honestly on a path to disease and death. Got sick yearly. Soylent is an actual meal REPLACEMENT. Not suppliment. Ensure etc are supliments. 400 calories and one fith of ur daily nutrition in each one. I was never fat really because ive always had a fast metabolism but i was chubby for sure. Got sick a lot. Low energy. I mean at times so low I felt as tho it was an effort to breathe. Always hungry too but no appetite because i ate $&@!. Truly poor quality of life. I knew it was because of my diet. I always ate terribly even as a kid. Im 48 now. But I neither had the time nor taste to eat better. Along comes Soylent a year and a half ago(as far as when i started...its been around slightly longer) I almost exclusively drink Soylent and have for over a year! I eat maybe a couple times a week. Sometimes two or three weeks. Not because I force myslef to btw. I prefer to drink a Soylent over eating! I eat more for social reasons than anything. Sometimes I go weeks without eating. I PREFER Soylent. When I do eat it's because of a craving and usually its a top notch restaurant with my girl or friends. On rare occasions its because i just want something warm and solid and evem then i go all out. Thats so rare though. The little I do eat it really doesnt matter how bad for me the food I choose is either. So i go for it when i do eat. Imagination run wild and for pure sensation without guilt:) Wether its sugary fatty whatever. It doeant make a difference because the rest of the time im taking in what i need to without the bad stuff i shouldnt be. Benefits.....higher energy level. I dont need to drink anything with caffeine anymore. Not coffee or soda or anything caffeinated. Body fat of 16% and a flat stomach. NEVER had a flat stomach my whole life! NEVER hungry. The HUGE amount of time I save. If you add up how much time u spend buying food..... Thinking about what to buy. Putting it away. Thinking about what to cook or where to eat. Cooking it. Eating it. Cleaning up. Driving to restaurants. Driving to buy it. Checkput Lines. Filling carts. Deciding on restaurants. Total time you save a year according to my own personal calculations is 40 days a year or 960 hours! Thats a really conservative eatimate imo. Thats about 2.63 hours a day! What could you do with an extra 960 hours? 40 days, more than a month or almost 6 weeks? A great deal im sure. The taste is neutral or tastless(I jave not tried the flavors other than coffee and that was good but i just dont need flavoring) Its bland yes. When u drink it seconds later u could forget u just had something in ur mouth. Why is this a good thing? Well imagine your favorite flavor. Now imagine eating it everyday multiple times a day. It being neutral you never get sick of it. And i dont. When i need calories i crave Soylent now. My brain has re-associated and adapted that mechanism of survival to crave Soylent to obtain my nutrition and calories when they are needed. I should mention that my bathroom habits haven't changed;) I always get asked that when i tell people I basically dont eat or only eat a cpl times a week. Dont ask me how a liquid goes in and a solid comes out because i cant quite figure that out either. I assume it has to do with fiber but i really dont know. Calorie for calorie its cheaper and contains better nutrition. Food for me is recreational now. Think about ur life. When u eat how often is it something thats amazing and exactly what u want. More often than not its whatever is convenient and that doesn't usually go along with great for u. Its somethimg u just have to do. Mostly. Well i ONLY eat when its amazing and the rest of the time i'm getting perfect nutrition and not wasting time doing something mundane for lack of a better word:) People always say to me.....eating is something thats such a pleasure tho...dont u miss it? Yeah it absolutely can be. But honestly when ur at Mcdonalds is that a true pleasure or experience in taste? No. Not for me. My blood work reflects my sentiments btw and went from extremely high triglycerides and cholesterol to everything being perfectly in line! I used to suffer from occasionally bouts of depression. Nothing serious. Never needed meds or anything. More from always being exhausted and fighting just to do my daily grind. That hasnt happened since i switched to Soylent! Not once. Not once! Coincidence? Maybe. But nutrition is very much connected to low energy and depression. Soylent..... from the heart, I cannot thank u enough. You not only changed my life, you gave me one. After a year and a half I cannot say enough, thank you enough, nor recommend you enough. Loyal customer for life........ Note: Drink water! It takes more water to digest it then it contains so you still should drink water! May also wanna take a cpl fiber pills occasionally. The water is a must tho. Thats probably why i read one review saying his energy level dropped. Dehydration.

I've been drinking Soylent since the early/mid-2010s, and am deeply nostalgic for the original flavor as a result. This doesn't taste like that, but it's still pretty good. I think Soylent Original is the best-tasting Meal Replacement Shake on the market, everything else is generally too sweet by a long shot. The closest alternative to Soylent is Huel Powder - their RTD version is also too sweet - and I prefer Soylent Powder to the RTD, but I must admit I am much more likely to drink the bottles than mix the powder on the average day. I think it's fine as a meal replacement. I don't feel much healthier when drinking it than not, my gastric processes are all about the same. It's reasonably light as a meal - better than many kinds of breakfast and lunch, especially if you are sensitive to abdominal fullness - and it doesn't leave a residue or film on the tongue. I typically look forward to the Soylent, and I really appreciate how easy it makes meal prep, for the nutrition it offers. Notably, I can't really have Soylent regularly anymore because I'm on a restricted sodium diet, and there's enough in a single bottle that it throws my numbers off for the day. It isn't overbearing, but it is a lot. I still have a bottle now and again, but it is not longer a regular part of my diet. My major complaint is the price. It is expensive now relative to ten years ago, and I don't like it. The powder is okay - about $3/serving, but the RTD is pricey at $4/meal. That is the biggest barrier to my buying it regularly. What I need to do, I think, is buy a 12pk of RTD, drink them, then wash them thoroughly and refill them with a single-serving of powder, then add water at the time of consumption. This way I can get near the convenience of the RTD while maintaining the price advantage of the powder. So I am biased due to nostalgia, but I have tried many other options and this remains my favorite even after ten years. I always recommend people at least give it a try, if they have any interest whatsoever, I think it's worth the investment.

I have 2 weeks to finish the soylent that I ordered.

Its actually really tasty, it tastes like banana bread & only complaint is it has a slight after-taste of artificial sweetener. I'm glad I purchased it & will be trying the vanilla one next. Its got a great amount of nutrients for when I'm struggling to eat solids. Will definitely purchase again.
