Packaging is fine.  The box is clearly designed to be ripped open and act as a display, possibly for a store to sell individuals?  Or maybe for your cabinet?<br /><br />Nutrients seem good.  Vegan is great if you're vegan.  I'm not, but cutting back on meat/animal products is always welcome by me if the product is good.<br /><br />I've never had the pre-made Soylent shakes, so I cannot compare to those.  I have however, had other pre-made shakes AND THE IDENTICAL POWDER MIX of said other brand.  The big complaint I've had about that other brand was "the pre-made is smooth and tasty, but the mix has a permanent GRIT in the shake.  Like, I've shook it in a shaker bottle HARD, even let it soak for a while if needed.  Tried it room temp and refrigerated, nothing makes the grains of sand feeling go away.  Its' UNPLEASANT to feel while drinking.<br /><br />Soylent powder does this same thing.  (You can even see the grains that just won't dissolve, even in extra water) Its' got a decent flavor but it's like someone dumped sand in my drink.  It'll do in a pinch but I am not clamoring to buy more.<br /><br />At least it's not green.
