Engineered nutrition - Soylent launches powder in UK

US engineered nutrition group Soylent is launching its original powder product in the UK.

One portion of the powder, which is mixed with water for a nutrition drink, provides 20 grams of protein and 36 essential vitamins and minerals.

Announcing the move, the company stressed it is an “easy to prepare”​ meal replacement, which provides “maximum nutrition with minimum effort”.​ Soylent is targeting “meal voids”​ with a convenient solution that also has a positive impact on health and well-being.

The Silicon Valley product is now available to buy from Amazon UK in both original and cocoa flavours for £24 per back of two 425 g pouches. Each pouch contains five meals, equating to £2.40 per meal.

Soylent powder joins Soylent's ready-to-drink meal in a bottle offering, which was launched in the UK in September.

The powders are vegan and nut-free. Non-dairy ingredients include isolated protein from soy.
