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

This is what will be 1st of many reviews of Soylent. I am in my 60's, 6' tall, 165 lbs. I never really cared for food. I eat because I know I have to. What I eat isn't very nutricious(?). Mostly frozen dinners heated in oven. I don't pay much attention to calories becuse I'm underweight for my height. Basically very healthy for my age - no diabetes, arthritis, never smoked and very little alcahol years ago. So Soylent sounds great. I ordered a 12 pack after recently getting blood test I'll use as a base line. I put bottles in refrig over night. 1st impression: Smells like any chocolate milk I ever smelled. Tastes pretty good to me. I prefer cold to room temp. I feel a little misled thinking a bottle will replace a meal which is how I took the promotion of Soylent. But as the bottle shows (and their promotion does indicate), one bottle contains 20% of most nutrients you need per day. So you need 5 bottles a day to get 100% of daily requirements based on a 2000 calorie diet. I don't eat 5 meals a day. And I'm closer to 1500 calories a day. My plan: I'm going to start by drinking 1 bottle per day to replace the desert I have after dinner. If I have no ill side effects and don't lose any weight in a month, I'll start 2 per day instead of lunch. My goal is 3 per day plus dinner with steady weight but better blood work which I'll have in 6 months with my annual physical. Cost: At approx $4/bottle $12/day is probably about what I spend on my unhealthy frozen dinner diet. If I can get better nutrician, I can talk myself into even 4 bottles a day - will see. Will keep you posted. UPDATE - Day 24: I am guessing the magnesium ( like in Milk of Magnesia) in Soylent is acting as a stool softener and has caused diarhea for the last 3 days so I paused the experiment until I figure how to counter this - maybe take "spore probiotics" daily? I'm not willing to quit - just a set back. UPDATE June 2025 I guess I'm lactose intollerant. I now take a probiotic twice a day and helps a little with the diahria issue. I now drink 2 bottles of Soylent a day which replaces my evening dessert and afternoon snack, I still eat the unhealthy frozen meals for lunch and dinner. I haven't gained nor lost any weight (not my intention to lose any) UPDATE July 2025 I now drink a 3rd Soylent 4 days a week to replace breakfast meal ( frozen waffles or sausage,egg & cheese on croisante). Still haven't gained or lost any weight. Unexpected perk - my blood pressure dropped from 140s/80s to 120s/70s. In case it's due to dehydration, I drink a gatorade once a day besides 2 glasses of water and the 2 to 3 Soylents. Next update will be in Nov when I have my annual physical with blood work and discuss Soylent with my dr. UPDATE Nov 2025 Dr. appt went well though blood work wasn't as perfect as I expected. Cholesteral and blood pressure were much better but others didn't show as much improvement as I expected. My dr. was more impressed than I was. I still rate 5 stars - this is a very good choice for those of us who are not into food.

Reason for buying these meal replacement shakes is because my jaw is broken and is wired shut. Otherwise, I would be eating real food. I hate protein shakes due to the fake powdery flavoring. Thanks to everyone else's reviews, this really does have a rich chocolate milk taste. Because it is a soy protein and I am living on this stuff, yes, it does make you feel not hungry for a little while, but once it's digested, I fade on energy pretty quickly. I chose this over Ensure because it had higher calorie content..as i said, my purpose of using this is really for medical reasons and not for weight loss purposes.

As someone who's always on the lookout for convenient and nutritious meal options, the Soylent Creamy Chocolate Meal Replacement Shake has become a staple in my routine. This ready-to-drink plant-based protein drink offers a perfect balance of flavor and functionality. I started drinking Soylent years ago due to an accident that made it to where I was unable to bite/chew foods and so required nutrition in fluid form. I do not drink Soylent for all my meals now, but it is a great choice for a quick meal when solid food isn't attainable. Let's talk taste first. The creamy chocolate flavor is rich and indulgent without being overly sweet, making it a satisfying treat any time of day. Whether I'm enjoying it as a quick breakfast on-the-go or as a post-workout refuel, the taste never disappoints. But what really sets Soylent apart is its nutritional profile. With 20g of complete vegan protein and only 1g of sugar per serving, it's a guilt-free option that keeps me feeling full and happy with my food choice. Plus, it's packed with essential vitamins and minerals, making it a well-rounded meal replacement solution. Convenience is another big selling point for me. The 14oz bottles are perfectly portioned and ready to drink, requiring no mixing or blending. I can toss a few in my bag for busy days or stash them in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go option. Overall, the Soylent Creamy Chocolate Meal Replacement Shakes are great. Whether you're looking to fuel your workouts, simplify your meal prep, need a liquid option, or just enjoy a delicious and nutritious drink, this product delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend giving it a try—you won't be disappointed!

Taste great. And im big on chocolate. Smooth, Not gritty like other meal drinks. My only gripe is how expensive it is. It is a meal on a bottle tho so 🤷

I wasn’t sure what to expect when i tried this. Theres mixed reviews, but more positive experiences than negative. However what I totally didn’t expect was the flavor. THIS IS SO GOOD in my opinion of course. Think of it as “hot chocolate with too much milk” type of flavor. Or the milk left over after a bowl of coco pebbles. But there is a viscosity there that is so creamy and makes it more filling. Sometimes you will come across some grittiness, but its actually satisfying (i like a bit of texture). The grittiness isn’t as severe as you think. Imagine, again, hot chocolate but all the powder isn’t completely dissolved. I absolutely love this drink and will be buying more. I may even try other flavors. Its perfect for the mornings when you’re on the go. But PLEASE people dont think this is something you can drink all day as a meal replacement. You will be so so so hungry!!! lol. This as a breakfast, lunch, or snack is perfect. Its gives the perfect amount of energy without the crash of caffeine. 10/10 would recommend!!!
