I received a 1 week supply of Soylent yesterday. However, my plan is only to use it as a lunch replacement, so it should last me 3 weeks.

I don't eat breakfast, so that means that for the next three weeks, I will have a Soylent lunch, and my typical dinner.

The morning light of my kitchen makes it look much more yellow than it is.

The smell and taste is pleasant, actually. Maltodextrin, Rice Protein, and Oat Flour are the primary ingredients, and it tastes like a malty oatmeal shake. I have read that the oil blend can make it taste fishy, but I didn't detect that at all.

POUCH INGREDIENTS: Maltodextrin, Rice Protein, Oat Flour, Vitamin and Mineral Blend [Potassium (as Potassium gluconate), Calcium (as calcium carbonate), Choline Bitartrate, Magnesium (as magnesium oxide), Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), Zinc (as zinc sulfate), Vitamin E (as dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, Vitamin B3 (as niacinamide), Copper (as copper gluconate), Vitamin B5 (as calcium D-pantothenate), Manganese (as manganese sulfate), Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCL), Vitamin B2 (as riboflavin), Vitamin B1 (as thiamin HCL), Vitamin A (as palmitate), Chromium (as chromium chloride), Folic Acid, Biotin, Iodine (as potassium iodide), Molybdenum (as sodium molybdate), Selenium (as sodium selenite), Vitamin K1 (as phytonadione), Vitamin D2 (as ergocalciferol), Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)], Gum Acacia, Soy Lecithin, Salt, Artificial Flavors, Xanthan Gum, Sucralose.

OIL BLEND INGREDIENTS: Canola Oil, Fish Oil

Unfortunately, Soylent uses Sucralose as a sweetener. That is a deal breaker for me. I avoid artificial sweeteners, and I am not going to be consuming them on a daily basis. Even if I enjoy Soylent, this will probably be my first and last batch for that reason. It's unfortunate. The drink could stand to be less sweet. I would like to try it without the Sucralose.

I'll report back after a few days.
