Why you should try Soylent

Soylent, contrary to the stigma, is not for health freaks or people who hate food. Soylent is for people who hate bad food.

Try and remember the last time someone brought in “breakfast” (i.e., pastries) to the office or you didn’t have time to sit down for lunch, so you had to grab fast food. You didn’t eat that garbage because you necessarily wanted to, you ate it because it was convenient.

If you had a Soylent in the fridge, you could’ve had 400 great tasting calories of solid gold. Some flavors even have caffeine and l-theanine (this combination improves performance in demanding tasks), so they can replace your Starbucks run as well.

Soylent Variety Pack — $10

The new flavors of Soylent 2.0 have come a long way from their chalky predecessors. The current roster includes Original, Cacao, Strawberry, Mocha, Vanilla, and Chai. My favorite is Mocha (caffeinated), and wife’s favorite is Strawberry. I implore you to try Soylent at least once, it has been a life changer for me, and if you don’t like how it tastes forget you ever read this article because you shouldn’t be eating anything you don’t like!

You can order a Variety Pack online for a limited time or use this Store Locator to pick up a single at your local 7-eleven or Walmart. Let me know what you think!
