Soylent™ was developed from a need for a simpler food source. Creator Robert Rhinehart and team developed Soylent after recognizing the disproportionate amount of time and money they spent creating nutritionally complete meals. Soylent is a food product (classified as a food, not a supplement, by the FDA) designed for use as a staple meal by all adults. The product is in powder form to be mixed with water. Each serving of Soylent provides maximum nutrition with minimum effort.
