Frequently Asked Questions
How do I incorporate Soylent into my diet?
We don’t want you to think of Soylent as an all-or-nothing proposition, a diet plan, or a trendy cleanse. Instead, think of Soylent as an antidote for the “Food Void.” A food void is any time you’re stuck without access to a good, quality meal. We’re not trying to replace the meals you love, but rather to save you from dining on a vending machine lunch or spending $10 on a limp salad. Most people find success replacing a few meals a week — often starting with breakfasts, or keeping a few bottles of Soylent on hand for when life gets busy. Some use Soylent for just about every meal, except when dining out or with friends, while others grab a bottle from the store when they’re on the go. See what works best for you!
What do you mean by "Complete Meal?"
Soylent’s nutritional makeup is complex and comprehensive. It contains the elements of a nutritious diet while limiting the amounts of less desirable dietary components. Keep in mind that, while Soylent can replace any meal, it is not intended to replace every meal.
How long does my Soylent last?
All products are marked with either an expiration date (EXP month/year), best by date (BEST BY month/day/year) or manufacturing date (MFG month/year). Our warehouses practice a first in/first out product rotation, so shelf life of received products can vary depending on warehouse location and available stock. It is our policy that no consumer will receive product with less than a two-month shelf life. If you receive a product with less than a two-month shelf life, please see our policy here.
The shelf life of Soylent products reflects the nutrition they contain. A year after production, the vitamin blend begins to lose its potency. Due to this loss in nutrition, we recommend consuming your Soylent before either the expiration, best by date, or within one year of the manufacturing date — depending on the product label.
If you notice that the flavor of your Soylent changes between packages, please check your product’s shelf life information and dispose if necessary.
Why do you use Soy?
We chose soy protein isolate because of its bioavailability, meaning it’s easily absorbed by the digestive system according to the Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS), which gauges how well certain proteins can be digested. Of the proteins tested, soy protein isolate scored the highest possible score of 1.0 — on par with milk, beef, and eggs. In addition to being the only plant-based protein to score this well, soy protein isolate has a smooth, consistent texture which creates the optimal flavor profile. During our testing, we found that alternative proteins lacked these benefits. Below, we have listed some popular alternatives to soy and reasons we decided against them. Whey, casein, and egg white — All three of these have a PDCAAS equal to soy protein isolate but have other drawbacks. These options are derived from animal products, so they typically use more resources to be produced than plant-based proteins. Hemp — Hemp has a PDCAAS of only 0.65, meaning it is less bioavailable than soy. It also typically has a gritty texture, as well as an earthy and green taste. Pea — Similar to hemp protein, pea protein has a lower than soy PDCAAS of 0.89. It also has a strong earthy flavor and a thicker, less smooth texture. Rice — Rice protein has a PDCAAS of 0.90 and has a rough, silty, occasionally sandy feel due to the brown rice protein. Another major downside is the amount of heavy metals rice naturally picks up from the ground, (e.g. arsenic) which can be a concern for meal replacements. Please note that soy is not entirely hypoallergenic. A small percentage of the population is allergic to the various types of protein available on the market today, including soy protein isolate. We recommend that you check with your doctor to make sure you’re not allergic to soy before making Soylent a daily choice.
What makes Soylent different from other processed foods?
The nutritional value of a meal, regardless of how it’s prepared, is directly related to the variety of nutrients it provides within a person’s diet. Take instant macaroni for example. It can lack nutritional value because of low levels of vitamins and minerals, plus an excess amount of salt, cholesterol, and saturated fat. But instant macaroni isn’t inherently lacking in nutrition just because it’s easy-to-make instant macaroni — it’s lacking because it doesn’t have certain nutrients and has too many of others. Soylent is engineered from the ground up to provide a variety of carbs, fats, and protein, alongside 26 vitamins and minerals.
Can I lose weight drinking Soylent?
Soylent is not designed as a weight loss tool. While some people incorporate Soylent into their diets for any number of weight loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance reasons, Soylent should simply be looked at as a 400 calorie complete meal. Every person’s nutritional requirements are different, and Soylent has been designed to represent roughly 20% of a 2000 calorie diet as laid out for the average person by the FDA. For more information on a healthy diet, please consult a professional such as a registered dietician or your doctor.
Are you trying to replace food that I love?
No! We love food! In fact, we love food so much, we never want you to eat a disappointing meal again. That’s where we come in, to save you from soggy sandwiches and lukewarm microwave egg breakfast products. You’re welcome.
