Powder 1.7 Now Shipping

Starting today, we will begin shipping our latest iteration of Soylent Powder – version 1.7. Community responses to taste, texture and the overall customer experience have always played a crucial role in Soylent’s formula development. Following the debut of Powder 1.6, we received numerous recommendations from our core customer base on topics ranging from viscosity and flavor profile to digestion and sustainable ingredients. Since then, our Product team has been working diligently to improve the formula based on this feedback.

In an effort to address customer appeals for a more neutral flavor profile, Powder 1.7 reduced the sweetness found in Powder 1.6 by lowering both the natural and artificial flavors (1g to 0.6g), decreasing the level of sucralose (0.023g to 0.015g), and adding a small amount of sodium (1500mg to 1600mg). Xanthan gum was reduced to 1g from 1.15g to create the thinner consistency our customers had requested.

Powder 1.7 will also no longer include algal flour. With these changes, our team believes we have responded to the issues a small number of community members experienced after consuming Powder 1.6. Many of the other sensory changes we made were already planned for this version.

For further information about Powder 1.7’s ingredients and nutrition, please visit faq.soylent.com or reach out to the Soylent Customer Care team. The Soylent team welcomes the feedback we receive from our community. It has helped us with many of the key decisions and improvements we have made to our formula and our business model from the very beginning. We value your input and appreciate your trust and support as we continue to grow.
