Soylent expands distribution to Walgreens

Now picking up a bottle of Soylent’s drinkable meals is as easy as stopping by your nearest Walgreens.

The Los Angeles-based company announced the expansion of its retail footprint via a partnership with the retailer.

“We’re on a mission to make complete, sustainable nutrition accessible, appealing, and affordable to all. As more consumers strive to figure out the balance of work, school and family schedules in a time with so much change, we want to ensure they can access better-for-you, nutritious options where they are already shopping,” Demir Vangelov, Soylent’s CEO said.  “We have a massive online consumer base, however, we know that many of our consumers still like to grab nutritional products when they are picking up their other pharmacy items at Walgreens, so this is a win-win.”

Products that Walgreens will be carrying from Soylent include a new format of its 11-oz. Complete Meal Shake, which will be available in a pack of four and contains fewer calories, as well as 1 g of sugar, the company said.
