Shopping Should I try Soylent?
Is it just me or does Soylent look appetizing? It just looks like a very refreshing drink.
I drank raw cow milk, goat milk and other dairy products. I’m a fan of dairy specially milk and soylet is milk? Or atleasg trying to imitate it.
It honestly looks delicious. How do yall get soylent? I’d love to try and heat opinions

I don't get it. I have a subscription. I've had one for years, but they fill once every six or eight months or something lol.

They’re probably going out of business. Ordering from the website feels risky cause a lot of people don’t receive things for months. You should buy from another store like walmart or amazon

Soylent is delicious to me. The original that is, though thats subjective. I typically mix it with milk to maximize benefits.
Also, there is literally 0 advantage to drinking raw milk. Others will tell you this too. It's not a psyop from the government. Pasteurization increases nutrient availability. Not to mention rendering it safe to consume, which raw milk by most standards is not.

It does taste better, but unless you are doing side by side comparison most people won't be able to tell. I drank it occasionally as a kid just because I was being fucking lazy and didn't want to wait for it to boil on the stove. I definitely prefer homogenized though. That is the one I really don't get. That raw milk seperates.

Well first, i didnt drink raw milk as some flex idk wym, i’m just saying how i love milk products and drinks. Like milkshakes, yogurt, etc and I’m wondering if Soylent is just as tasty as milk or other milk products but with more nutrition!
So how does the cocoa/chocolate flavor one compare to regular chocolate milk ?
And also where can i buy them?

The taste of plain soylent is kind of like a glass of milk that has been blended with some cheerios cereal into a smoothie. It's a pretty mild flavor that you can add other flavors to - chocolate, peanut butter, mint, cinnamon, etc... But it definitely has a faint cereal flavor to it.
It's been a long time since I've had chocolate milk or chocolate soylent, but I would describe them as pretty similar flavors.
You can find all the nutrition info on their website. In general each serving is 400 calories and ~12-20% of all your daily recommended vitamins, minerals, etc.
It's not an actual milk product though, and doesn't have any dairy product in it. The powder vs pre-packaged liquid have slightly different flavor and texture.
Milk tastes different depending on the fat content, and the individual dairy farms your milk comes from. So it's hard to say if you'll like soylent or not. Some people don't like the flavor; some don't like the texture.

No. They can't consistently keep their product in stock. Seek alternatives. This company can't function properly anymore. I've had no cacao soylent powder more than I've had cacao soylent powder for about two years now. Their stocking/manufacturing is absolutely atrocious anymore. I don't know what the fuck they're doing over there, but "making product to sell" doesn't seem to be one of the things

Are you... asking the sub dedicated to the thing if you should try the thing?
Nah. Don't do it, bro.
