What if you never had to worry about food preparation again?

A new beverage called Soylent was created to provide a simpler food option for those with little time to dedicate to grocery shopping and food prep. The product comes with a dry powder and an oil blend to mix together and promises to provide consumers with all the nutritional value they need.

Julia Beck, associate editor at The Atlantic, explained to HuffPost Live's Marc Lamont Hill that she tried a drink similar to Soylent and while she was kept fairly nourished, the experience itself wasn't the most enjoyable.

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. Each serving of Soylent provides maximum nutrition with minimum effort.

As the primary source of energy for the body, carbohydrates are the largest component of Soylent by mass. The two main sources of carbs in Soylent are the starch in oat flour and the oligosaccharide Maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a medium-long chain of glucose units composed of both 1->4 and 1->6 glycosidic bonds. Starches are long polysaccharide repeats consisting of amylose and amylopectin linked together by glycosidic bonds and are broken down slowly by the body, thus preventing a spike in blood sugar.
