The concept of meal replacement originated in western countries. Thanks to the development of western industrialization, the food industry is also developing rapidly. Some of the earliest foods that reduce blood fat and blood sugar, such as compressed biscuits, can be said to be the embryonic form of meal replacement. During this period, people have realized the importance of a healthy diet, and began to try to develop some low-fat and low-sugar foods instead of high-fat and high-calorie diets.

On July 20th, at the National Forum on Weight Management and Nutrition and Health, nutrition catering experts emphasized that a healthy diet should have these characteristics. Slili, a nutritional meal replacement food, is made of coconut powder or adzuki bean powder, concentrated whey protein, soy protein isolate, skimmed milk powder, plantain husk, chia seed, oat flour, fructooligosaccharides and konjac gum, supplemented by various nutritional fortifiers, and processed by modern food processing technology.
