Seems odd that we're at 2.0 now and it's still not available in the EU - is there a legal reason for this?


Importing food or nutritional supplements into the EU is difficult because the EU still has a very protective agricultural policy. You might have to look at competitors such as mymana.


Thanks, here is their website: http://mymana.eu/

I couldn't buy Soylent (I'm in France), so I made one myself based on what I learned in the DIY Soylent community: https://diy.soylent.com


I occasionally replace a meal with Mana (e.g. when I am busy, lazy, etc.). If anyone wants a small review, just ask.


yep, I'm interested in somethign to replace lunch at work: do you find it filling/satisfying? Do you drink warm or cold? What keeps you from drinking it more often?


Definitely. Not overly full (which is a good thing when working) and enough to last until dinner/the next meal when adhering to a three meal diet.

Cold, out of the fridge.

I tend to replace those meals which would usually involve some form of fast food and the likes. When time is of the essence and I don't want to think about food.


Atleast there is Joylent..


Maybe because people in Europe are more likely to, you know, actually enjoy eating their food?


What does drinking a meal replacement a few times a week have to do with not enjoying your food?
