It's alright, sort of tastes like bland vanilla rice.

Had to stop 'cause the girlfriend is celiac and they can't guarantee gluten free.

In 2014 they wrote: "Soylent is vegetarian but does contain fish oil. While no ingredients by nature contain gluten a preliminary test has shown gluten present at around the FDA limit of 20ppm, likely from the oats.

Actually they do seem to be gluten-free now, fwiw.

According to their FAQ they are not gluten-free.
