If Soylent makes you nervous, you might like Ambronite-but it's not cheap. We try out the upmarket, premium meal replacement for a day of organic nutrients.

We've been pretty vocal about the long-awaited release of Soylent, the engineered food supplement/substitute. However, every post about Soylent (be it at Ars or anywhere else) draws a not-insignificant number of comments from people who are nervous about its perceived artificiality. A common criticism is that modern food science doesn't yet have a complete picture of exactly how and why nutrition works. Perhaps throwing a bunch of micro- and macronutrients into a bag can't totally emulate the complex interaction of different natural ingredients in normally consumed food. Whether or not that's actually true isn't certain, but Simo Suoheimo is betting that he and the rest of the people at Ambronite can deliver the same fast nutrition as Soylent while using whole foods instead of powders and pills. "We have the world's first drinkable meal that fulfills daily nutrition recommendations from organic, natural ingredients," Suoheimo explained to Ars in an interview.
