Is Soylent Available in Australia?
No. Soylent does not ship to Australia and is not stocked by any Australian retailer. It's a US-based brand that sells primarily in North America.
If you heard about Soylent and want something similar in Australia, QOTA is the direct local equivalent — a nutritionally complete meal replacement powder, made in Melbourne.
Sugar: The Biggest Difference
This is where QOTA and Soylent diverge most dramatically.
QOTA Vegan powder contains 1.4g of sugar per 100g — well below the WHO recommendation that free sugars make up less than 10% of daily energy intake.
Soylent Original powder contains 17.8g of sugar per 100g — 16.8% of total energy from sugar, nearly double the WHO guideline. This is the primary reason Soylent's Health Star Rating is just 3.0.
If you're switching to a meal replacement to eat better, Soylent's sugar content works against that goal.
Health Star Rating
QOTA Vegan Powder: 4.5 stars
Soylent Original Powder: 3.0 stars
Australia's Health Star Rating is a government-run system scoring packaged food from 0.5 to 5. QOTA's 4.5 rating reflects its low sugar content and high protein. Soylent's 3.0 rating is held back by its high sugar and fat levels.
