Soylent Complete Meal Powder review

An engineered complete food. The brand lists 20 g of protein and 28 vitamins and minerals per meal, sold in multi pouch boxes.

The label serving is Powder, meal serving.

Readers comparing engineered complete meals on cost rather than whole food positioning.

We have not confirmed the current facts panel line by line.

We keep organic certification, supplier documentation and finished product testing as separate fields. Where a manufacturer states something we cannot confirm from a primary source, we record it as a claim rather than a verified fact.

Certified organic: Not publicly verified. We have not confirmed a current certification statement for this product from a primary source.

• Supplier certificates of analysis: Not publicly verified. No published document from an identifiable source.
• Incoming ingredient testing: Not publicly verified. No published document from an identifiable source.
• Finished product third party testing: Not publicly verified. We have not found published finished product third party testing from an identifiable source. We do not commission laboratory testing.

These three layers are reported separately on purpose. A supplier document or an incoming ingredient check is not the same thing as an independent test of the finished product.

The listed one time price for the current 35 meal box is unconfirmed. The brand shows a subscription price, which we do not treat as a listed price.

This is a formulated product rather than a whole food blend, and it is not marketed as organic.

• Ingredient quality18%4.6 / 10

  Weighted across the ingredient attributes: not certified organic (4). Organic certification carries the most weight, then whole food sourcing, then named amounts and freedom from artificial additives. Attributes we could not publicly verify are held at the neutral baseline of 5.0 out of 10 rather than left out, so an unverified attribute earns no credit.

• Nutrient density15%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. We have not verified a nutrition facts panel and a serving weight for this product, so nutritional substance cannot be measured.

• Label transparency14%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. We have not verified the current supplement facts panel, so the disclosure level is unrecorded.

• Value per gram18%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. Value per gram needs both a verified price and a verified serving weight in grams.

• Product per dollar5%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. This needs a verified listed price, serving count and serving weight so the total container grams can be derived.

• Serving grams delivered5%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. The label serving weight in grams is not published in a source we can cite.

• Price per serving5%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. We do not have a citable current price and serving count for this product.

• Testing and certifications10%Not publicly verified

  Not scored. We have not found published finished product third party testing from an identifiable source. We do not commission laboratory testing.

• Packaging protection10%Not publicly verified

  Not publicly verified. We have not verified the container material and barrier properties from a source we can cite, so this criterion is withheld from the score rather than assumed.

How this figure is calculated. Each criterion is multiplied by its rubric weight and the total is divided by the full 100 points of the rubric. A criterion we could publicly verify earns the points its evidence supports. A criterion we could not verify is held at the neutral baseline of 5.0 out of 10 and still occupies its full weight, so unverified evidence can never be excluded from the division and cannot earn the credit a verified strength earns.

For Soylent Complete Meal Powder the verified criteria contribute 4.6 x 18 = 82.8 points. The 8 criteria that are not publicly verified cover 82 points of rubric weight and contribute 5.0 x 82 = 410.0 points at the baseline. The total divided by 100 gives 4.9 out of 10.

18% of the rubric weight here is backed by publicly verified evidence. Not publicly verified means Greens Powder Guide could not independently verify this criterion from publicly available evidence. It does not necessarily mean the brand does not meet the criterion, which is why the baseline sits at the middle of the scale rather than at zero.

Read this score with care. Less than half of the rubric weight is publicly verified here, so most of this number rests on the neutral baseline rather than on evidence. It is not directly comparable with a product scored on most of the rubric, and for that reason this product is listed below the fully evidenced products in our rankings rather than beside them.
