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.

What has changed in the Ready-to-Drink formula? First and foremost the flavor! We spent a lot of time optimizing our flavor profile with Soylent consumers to land on our new formulas. We used the latest in flavor & sweetener technology. Our new formulas are formulated with natural flavors, allulose and now contain only 1g of sugar, 39 essential nutrients and more unsaturated fat and omega 3s fatty acids.

Why Natural Flavors? With our latest formulas we wanted to use the latest in flavor and flavor masking technology and there are more advancements in natural flavors since that is where consumer demand lies.

Why is there less sugar but the calories/serving are still the same? We use a new carbohydrate blend which includes allulose. Allulose contributes little to calories and mediate the body's insulin response to other carbohydrates for a steady release of energy. To make up for these loss calories, we increased the plant oils we use so the drink has more fat. This also lead to an increase in omega 3 content in each drink to 600-700mg/serving depending on the flavor.

What is Allulose? Allulose is a naturally occurring low-calorie sweetening ingredient that offers the taste and mouthfeel of sugar with much less calories and no added sugar.

What is allulose made from? Allulose is not a sugar alcohol and can naturally be found in figs, raisins, molasses, and maple syrup and it can also be made through fermentation of several sources of carbohydrates.
