"I use it as a pre- workout meal about 30-40 minutes ahead of time. I put one serving of a fruit-punch pre- workout powder in it and it tastes just like a bowl of a popular loop-shaped fruity cereal. It's pleasantly smooth, much smoother than older formulas. It's a permanent part of my diet for fueling workouts. I prefer the plain flavor so I can vary the pre- workout flavor, amount of caffeine, other supplements, etc."

"I work out first thing in the morning before work. I leave just enough time to shower and change, but don't have enough time to prepare a healthy breakfast. I always keep a Soylent Cacao drink in the fridge to drink in my car on the way. It's got just the right amount of protein and other nutrients to keep me healthy and satisfied, and drinking it cold is delicious and refreshing, especially after a good sweat sesh."

"Soylent has become a staple in my diet. Before I was worried about missing out on certain nutrients, especially before or after any sort of long distance cardio workouts. Over a year ago I started drinking a bottle everyday in the morning and another right after any sort of exercise . Now my body can recover much quicker. Highly recommended for vegetarians."
