Soylent Cafe Vanilla is part of the Cafe line, so I tried it to see whether it actually tastes like vanilla.
I like Soylent for when you are on the run or too busy to stop for a meal: 400 calories in one bottle. My favorite is Chocolate (Cacao), then Coffiest, and Chai is okay. This is Soylent 2.0 in the new Cafe Vanilla flavor. It has caffeine and L-theanine, and it tastes a lot like creamed-up coffee. Cafe Vanilla is no longer sold, so the button goes to Soylent’s current ready-to-drink shake.
- Tastes like mild, creamy iced coffee
- Much better than Original Soylent
- Easy twist-open bottle
- Square bottles pack efficiently
- Caffeine for the morning
- Does not taste much like vanilla
- Slight coffee aftertaste
- Flavor no longer sold

Why I drink Soylent
It is a great thing to use when you are on the run, do not want to be bothered by food, or are too busy to take time off for a meal. Each bottle replaces about 400 calories.
You can have one as a meal or several through the day.
What is new about 2.0
The 2.0 bottles are square instead of round, so they pack more compactly. They also got rid of the cellophane collar around the cap.
Now you just twist it, break the seal and open it like a regular bottle.
Taste test
In a glass, it is a little darker than the bottle and looks like Nesquik chocolate milk, just tanner. It smells vanilla-ish.
But it tastes like iced coffee to me, with a strong coffee flavor, maybe from the caffeine. The label shows 20 grams of protein, caffeine and L-theanine.
About the buy link
Soylent Cafe Vanilla is discontinued, and this video never had a working product link. The button goes to Soylent’s current Complete Protein ready-to-drink shake (Chocolate, which is my favorite). It is a newer formula, so check the nutrition on the listing.
Verdict
It is not bad. There is a slight coffee aftertaste, but it is much better than Original. If you like Coffiest, you will like this, because it is a little milder, like coffee with a bit more cream.
I would not have pegged it as vanilla, but I had a few for breakfast.
