Mana is a nutritionally complete and modern alternative to traditional food intended for healthy adults, as well as children aged 3 and older. Mana can be consumed any time you need a healthy, convenient, and cost-effective meal. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks.

For healthy adults, Mana is designed to be a full replacement for any and every meal. This means that you can live on a diet consisting exclusively of Mana, or simply use it to replace individual meals or snacks. How often you eat it is entirely up to you.

For children and adolescents between 3 and 18 years of age, Mana should not serve as a full diet replacement, but as an addition to a balanced diet. Detailed information on how to portion Mana for children and adolescents can be found here.

Mana is currently not intended for diagnostic or medicinal purposes. Although many of our customers have reported that Mana has helped them overcome health issues or dietary limitations, both serious and non-serious (e.g. food allergies/intolerance, diabetes), we strongly recommend consulting with a professional physician before consuming Mana during periods of illness or other health restrictions, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Mana currently produces 4 core foods: ManaPowder (a nutritionally complete powder mixable with water), ManaDrink (a ready-made, nutritionally complete drink), ManaBar (a nutritionally complete bar) and the ManaBurger (a plant-based burger with all nutrients). All foods on offer can be found here.

ManaPowder is a nutritionally complete, sustainable, and plant-based food powder that provides your body with all the nutrients it needs to be healthy. Our latest recipe contains our most varied spectrum of nutrients and natural ingredients to date. The powder is mixable with water for a full meal in 1 minute. The standard serving size delivers 400 kcal and is the equivalent of 86 g/2 Mana scoops/5 heaped tablespoons of powder + 300 ml of water.

ManaDrink is a nutritionally complete, sustainable, and plant-based food in the form of a ready-made drink. The biggest advantage of this form of Mana is its convenience—it requires no preparation and does not need to be refrigerated. All you have to do is open and drink. Each 400 ml drink delivers 330 kcal.

ManaBar is an innovative plant-based, nutritionally complete 50 g bar. Each bar contains 200 kcal and thanks to its compact size it fits into a backpack, purse or even a coat pocket. It contains a balanced ratio of macro- and micronutrients, including a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. It is therefore a complete snack.

Last but not least, we have developed the ManaBurger—a complete-nutrition plant burger patty intended as a full alternative to beef. Each serving (130 g) delivers 300 kcal and contains all vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients your body needs in balanced proportions. The ManaBurger is stored frozen. Once defrosted, it can be prepared on a pan, on a grill, or in the oven. More information can be found here.

We also offer accessories for the preparation of ManaPowder: the iconic American Nalgene bottle with the Mana design and a stainless steel measuring scoop. This Starter Kit is not included, it must be ordered separately. In case you have your own bottle, shaker or blender, you can buy just the measuring cup separately. A practical Nalgene cap in the colour of your choice will also make a great addition to your Mana bottle. You'll find other accessories on the accessories page that might come in handy. We keep adding new products to our range.

Origin is our original and most popular flavour, and has a creamy and neutral taste. Some people compare it to lightly sweetened cake batter; others compare it to oatmeal. Though individual associations differ, there’s one thing we hear consistently: the taste gets better and better over time.

You can find our other powder and drink flavours here.

Do the drink and powder taste different? Yes, there is a slight variation in flavour caused by different production processes. The advantage of ManaPowder is that its consistency and portion size are fully adjustable. Some like it as a snack, some as a main meal; some like it thick, some like it thin. The advantage of ManaDrink is that you can literally just grab it and go. Regardless of form or preference, what matters most is that they both give your body all the nutrients it needs.

There is also a slight difference in the composition of the drink and powder. ManaPowder contains acacia and xanthan gum, which make it creamier. Acacia gum is a source of fibre. ManaDrink, on the other hand, contains a cellulose-based thickener. This is because the fibre content had to be adapted to ready-to-drink format. A serving of ManaDrink contains slightly less fibre than a serving of ManaPowder. The addition of kombucha is a new feature of ManaPowder Mark 8. We have added kombucha only to the powder version of Mana, in the form of a freeze-dried powder made from fermented green tea extract.

All flavours, especially Origin, can be combined with other ingredients. Your imagination is the limit, but we recommend trying them with fruit, vegetables, spices, coffee, or nut butters. For inspiration, you can check out our recipe page.

Preparation of ManaPowder is very simple. For a 400-kcal serving, just mix 86 g of powder with 300 ml of room-temperature or cold water. One Mana scoop is 43 g, so 2 scoops will give you the exact amount you need for 1 serving. If you don’t have the Mana scoop, 5 heaped tablespoons is a good approximation.

These instructions are only for preparation of a standard serving. In practice, you can mix Mana according to your own caloric needs and consistency preferences. Complete mixing instructions can be found here. In the case of ManaDrink, all you have to do is shake, open, and drink.

Mana can be used to replace just one or two meals per day, or it can serve as a full replacement for your entire diet. If you decide to use it as a full replacement for your entire diet, the recommended daily intake of ManaPowder is 5 x 400 kcal (1 whole pouch), while the recommended daily intake of ManaDrink is 6 bottles x 330 kcal. These recommended daily intakes are based on the reference values for daily energy intake for the average adult, so we recommend adapting your intake to your own personal needs.

ManaBurger is also simple and quick to prepare. Bake the defrosted burger on a griddle, in the oven or on the grill. Regular oil can be used, but we recommend preparing it without oil. Grill or broil for 3 minutes on each side. The surface of the ManaBurger will be golden brown and crispy and the inside will be beautifully pink and juicy. Serve and enjoy warm.

And ManaBar? The bar is instantly consumable as a perfect, wholesome snack.

You can lose, gain, or maintain weight with Mana just like with any other food. Follow these general rules:

          • To lose weight, make sure that your energy intake is less than your energy expenditure, and that you get enough vitamins and minerals.
          • To gain weight, make sure that your energy intake is more than your energy expenditure.
          • To maintain weight, make sure that your energy intake matches your energy expenditure.

The main advantage of Mana when doing any of these is the fact that it is simple to portion and its nutritional values are clear, so you can easily count calories and monitor your intake of individual nutrients. Serving sizes and/or number of servings should be adapted to your specific physical needs, as dictated by weight, height, gender, age, and lifestyle. Always keep in mind that Mana is a whole food, not a supplement.

Online calorie charts and calculators, mobile apps, and sports/smart watches can help you determine what daily energy intake is right for you.

You can now order all our products individually in the new Pick & Mix section. Here you can put the package together exactly to your liking and in the quantity that suits you.

We have also introduced new Mana Bundles, which are combinations of different Mana products and flavours for a really good price. They also serve as great tasting packs. We recommend the Ultimate Bundle.

The newest Mark 8 formula contains a total of 6 proteins from plant sources - isolated soy and pea protein, oat, rice and pumpkin protein, and freshwater algae protein. Newly, Mark 8 contains the amino acids taurine and L-carnitine, which are important for proper digestion and fat metabolism. By adding taurine and L-carnitine, we have further enriched the amino acid spectrum, which is still complete - with all 9 essential amino acids represented.

Each serving of ManaDrink and ManaPowder delivers 17 g and 21 g of protein, respectively, which promotes the growth and regeneration of muscles.

According to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), the average daily protein requirement for adults is 0.66 g protein/kg body weight. The average adult should therefore consume at least 50 g of protein per day. A daily portion of Mana (5 servings of powder or 6 ManaDrinks) delivers twice as much!

Protein, carbs, and fat/lipids are the main macronutrients. The basis of these biopolymers is amino acids connected by peptide bonds. They support muscle growth and regeneration, facilitate transport of substances throughout the body, and are necessary for the synthesis of compounds with specific functions. They also serve as a source of energy.

The protein in Mana is a mixture of soy protein isolate, oat protein, pea protein isolate, brown rice protein, pumpkin protein, and algae protein. These are the richest and highest-quality sources of protein in the plant kingdom. They are easily digestible and deliver the full spectrum of amino acids, including all 9 essential amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore must be acquired from food.

Recent clinical studies indicate that soy protein is the best source of plant protein, second only to animal protein. Just like pea protein, rice protein, pumpkin protein, and the other proteins in Mana, it has a complete amino acid spectrum. The combination of these proteins delivers adequate bioavailability.

Complete Amino Acid Spectrum

The human body gets amino acids by digesting the protein we consume. Some amino acids can be synthesized by the body, while others cannot. The latter are essential, and therefore must be obtained through our diet. Essential amino acids include valine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, methionine, lysine, phenylalanine, histidine, and tryptophan. Some amino acids are essential only during certain periods of psychological development. For example, a fast-growing body needs relatively high amounts of arginine and histidine. The body can partially synthesize these by itself, but not in the concentrations necessary. These 2 amino acids are therefore considered semi-essential.

We have also added the amino acids taurine and l-carnitine to the latest Mark 8 formula. Natural sources of taurine and l-carnitine are animal proteins such as meat, seafood and dairy products. As a result, people consuming a vegan or vegetarian diet have a lower intake of these nutrients.

Taurine is specifically derived from the amino acid cysteine and has many beneficial effects. Even though taurine is naturally produced in our bodies in some quantity its intake from our diet is very important. Taurine is an important component of bile, helps digest dietary fats in the small intestine, is involved in the metabolism and excretion of excess fats and cholesterol, has a function in the detoxification of substances in the liver and is involved in nerve, muscle and heart function.

L-carnitine in our body is formed naturally from the essential amino acids methionine and lysine. Thus, its formation depends, among other things, on the intake of essential amino acids from the diet. Carnitine plays an indispensable role in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells, where fatty acids are "burned" and used for energy.

One serving of ManaDrink or ManaPowder Mark 8 now contains 100 mg of taurine and also 100 mg of L-carnitine. The amount corresponds to the average intake of taurine and L-carnitine from a classic, varied omnivore diet.

An often mentioned term related to amino acids is "amino acid pool". The body needs amino acids for the synthesis of a wide range of substances. Therefore, it needs to keep a stockpile so that it can always synthesize those substances that are needed. This pool tends to be depleted quite quickly. It is therefore essential that amino acids are continuously replenished, ideally at every meal. This is another major advantage of Mana, which provides you with enough protein with every meal. Which is preferable to taking in a large and sufficient amount of protein, but only once a day, for example at lunch.

Mana, thanks to its composition, serves as an excellent protein source, fulfilling physiological needs for all amino acids.

Soy and phytonutrients

Legumes (e.g. soybeans, peas) are not just an important source of protein, but of phytoestrogens, whose influence on hormonal balance is often subject to discussion. Yet recent research suggests that in healthy people, consuming foods rich in phytoestrogens does not disturb the natural balance of estrogens. Still, the soy and pea protein used in Mana is isolated using the latest technology, which reduces the concentration of phytoestrogens and other antinutrients in the final product by about 85%.

Fats, or lipids, are considered key nutrients that have significant effects on the human body. The plant oils in Mana are a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, which is an antioxidant, and phytonutrients such as phytosterols, which help lower blood cholesterol. They also contain vitamin K and carotenoids, which are precursors of vitamin A. Fatty acids from these lipids are a source of long-term energy and perform building functions within the body. Fat is generally a carrier of taste, which is one of the reasons why Mana is smooth and pleasant to the taste.

The fat sources in Mana are precisely selected plant oils—rapeseed oil, microalgae oil (Schizochytrium sp.), coconut MCT C8 oil with a pure content of 99% caprylic acid, sunflower oil, oat oil, cold-pressed linseed oil. It is a nutritionally rich combination of plant fats that are also a source of omega-3 (ALA, EPA, DHA) and omega-6 fatty acids in the exact and recommended 1:2 ratio. This unique blend is also a source of important fat-soluble vitamins and valuable phytonutrients such as vitamin E, phytosterols and lutein. In total, you'll find 19g and 16g of fat per serving of ManaPowder and ManaDrink respectively.

A new source, not found in such high quality in any other nutritionally complete food, is coconut MCT C8 oil with pure (99%) caprylic acid triglycerides. Caprylic acid is broken down very quickly in the body into ketone bodies, which provide immediate energy to the muscles and brain without the subsequent feeling of fatigue. One serving of ManaPowder contains 0.4 g of MCT C8 oil and one serving of ManaDrink contains 0.33 g.

Omega-3 and omega-6

Mana contains omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) and omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), both of which are essential fatty acids. These come from a unique blend of algae oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, and flaxseed oil. Furthermore, because Mana contains omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a beneficial 2:1 ratio, the ALA it delivers can be converted by the body into other important omega-3 fatty acids, namely eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Consumption of foods rich in EPA and DHA has been shown to have significant health benefits. Both of these fatty acids produce effective anti-inflammatory and protective substances, and contribute to the maintenance of proper heart function, while DHA contributes to proper brain function and healthy vision. ALA omega-3s help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

The composition of algae oil outmatches that of fish oil and is absolutely key to the achievement of nutritional complexity from exclusively plant sources. Moreover, unlike production of fish oil, production of microalgae oil does not kill animals. And since microalgae oil is produced under laboratory conditions, it contains no pollutants from the ocean.

Average amount of fat in 1 serving of ManaPowder: 19 g

 • saturated fat 2 g
 • monounsaturated fat 11.8 g
 • polyunsaturated fat 5.3 g
 • mega-3 fatty acids 1,5. g
        DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) 119 mg
        EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) 5 mg
        ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) 1350 mg

Average amount of fat in 1 serving of ManaDrink: 16 g

 • saturated fat 1.6 g
• monounsaturated fat 8.6 g
 • polyunsaturated fat 4.0 g
 • Omega-3 fatty acids 1.3 g
        DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) 91 mg
        EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) 3 mg
        ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) 1200 mg

The sources of carbohydrates in our Mark 8 recipe are oligosaccharides from corn, slow-absorbing saccharides from white sugar beets (isomaltulose), starches and other carbohydrates from oats, as well as carbohydrates and minority carbohydrates from soy, carrot fibre, pumpkin, peas, algae, and rice. Carbohydrates supply energy and, together with protein and fat, are essential for proper functioning of the human body. Above all, they are essential for brain and central nervous system function.

The main function of carbohydrates is to supply the body with energy. If energy is not supplied by this nutrient, the body must take it from other sources, first by breaking down fats, and then tissular proteins. Carbohydrates also serve as the building blocks for and help protect cells.

Starches, simple sugars, and even fibre are counted as carbohydrates. These are divided into monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and complex carbohydrates in accordance with the number of sugar units they have. To be clear, from a legislative point of view, sugar compounds (monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides composed of carbohydrates) are considered “carbohydrates.” The term “sugar” refers only to simple carbohydrates. Plant sources of carbohydrates include oligosaccharides from corn, carbohydrates from oats, soybeans, carrot fibre, pumpkin, peas, algae, and rice.

The sources of carbohydrates in ManaPowder and ManaDrink are as follows:

- Carbohydrates from corn - Maltodextrin . An excellent source of oligosaccharides, which supply our body with quickly usable energy. It is composed of starches from various plant sources, but the main ones are corn, rice, wheat and potatoes. Our products contain maltodextrin with a low dextrose equivalent DE-12, i.e. with low monosaccharide content.

- Palatinose, i.e. isomaltulose. This is a disaccharide whose structure is made up of fructose and glucose. It is produced biotechnologically using microorganisms from white sugar beet and its advantage is that it is absorbed slowly. In Mana, we use isomaltulose instead of sugar, which reduces the increase in blood glucose levels after its consumption. It also reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. It has a mild, sweet taste and a low glycemic index of 32.

- Complex carbohydrates from oat fibre. Oat fibre contains soluble and insoluble complex carbohydrates with significant beta-glucan content, which helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

- Minor carbohydrates from soy, carrot fibre, pumpkin, peas, algae, and rice.

According to an original study we conducted in cooperation with Charles University and the Kralovske Vinohrady University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic, ManaDrink can be considered a relatively low-carbohydrate food. The study also found that ManaDrink has a relatively low glycemic index (29) and insulin index (41), making it suitable for use by diabetics within a framework of complex dietary treatment. We believe the same is true of ManaPowder, given its nutritional composition is nearly identical to that of ManaDrink. Nevertheless, if you have diabetes, we recommend consulting with your doctor before using Mana. The results of the above study can be read here.

The pleasant and subtle sweetness of Mana is owing to sucralose, a sweetener. Although it is an artificial sweetener, sucralose is much safer and tastier than many natural sweeteners. And in combination with the other ingredients in Mana, it works perfectly. It is noncaloric and easily excreted from the body.

The newest Mana formula Mark 8 contains a total of 8 plant sources of fibre. In ManaPowder, these are: oat fibre with significant beta-glucan content, soluble chicory fibre (also known as inulin), carrot fibre, acacia gum, and fibre from pumpkin, peas, soy, and algae. The list is the same for ManaDrink, only it contains cellulose instead of acacia gum. Oat beta-glucans help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels, and inulin is considered an important prebiotic. In one serving of ManaPowder and ManaDrink, you'll find 7g and 4.4g of fibre to support good digestion and the function of friendly gut bacteria.

Fibre is an integral part of our diet and offers many health benefits. Soluble fibres, such as pectins and inulin, support the function and growth of friendly gut bacteria, strengthen the immune system, and aid digestion. Insoluble fibre, i.e. that which our bodies cannot absorb, such as cellulose and hemicellulose, aids the digestion of nutrients, regulates the absorption of fat, cleanses the intestines, and leaves us feeling satiated after eating.

For normal bowel function, the recommended daily intake of fiber is 25 g/day according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). 5 servings of ManaPowder (a daily portion) delivers a total of 35 g of fibre, 20 g of which is soluble and 15 g of which is insoluble. 6 servings of ManaDrink (a daily portion) delivers a total of 26 g of fibre, 15 g of which is soluble and 11 g of which is insoluble.

The fibre in Mana also plays a role in keeping its glycemic index (GI) down. More info on GI can be found the the "Carbohydrates" section above.

New users of Mana may experience mild indigestion or bloating due to its high fibre and protein content. It should take no more than a few days for your body to adjust to this type of highly nutritious food.

Mana provides you with precise and balanced amounts of all the highest quality bioactive forms of 16 vitamins and 17 minerals, including vitamin B12 and the semi-essential nutrient choline (sometimes referred to as "vitamin B8"), which are often otherwise missing from plant foods. The latest Mark 8 formula is enhanced with yeast enriched with selenium in a bioactive form and a chelated form of chromium (called chormitic picolinate).

Selenium is contained in many enzymes with antioxidant properties, thus helping to maintain the body's defences. It also helps to regulate the production of thyroid hormones and selenium has been shown to contribute to normal spermatogenesis and the maintenance of normal hair and nails. One serving of ManaDrink or ManaPowder Mark 8 contains 12 µg of selenium from yeast in the form of L-selenomethionine. Selenium is a natural part of our raw materials from which Mana is made.

Chromium is one of the essential elements found in very low amounts in food. Sources of chromium in manna include oat and carrot fibre as well as vegetable protein. Chromium has been shown to contribute to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. By adding a chelated form of chromium to Mana Mark 8, we have ensured even better absorption. The new ManaDrink Mark 8 contains 8 µg of chromium per serving, providing 20% of the recommended daily intake.

Vitamins are biologically essential and active substances that the human body cannot synthesize by itself, and which therefore must be supplied through food. They function as biocatalysts and antioxidants, and play a role in the metabolism of protein, fat, and carbs, as well as the reabsorption of minerals. Every vitamin has an optimal intake for best body function.

Minerals are vital for proper function of the human body and, just like vitamins, must be consumed with food. They play a key role in metabolism, tissue construction, brain function, and muscle activity. Mana contains 17 essential minerals that your body needs for top performance. It also contains another 7 trace minerals, which occur naturally in its ingredients.

When combined with the other ingredients that make ManaPowder and ManaDrink a complete food, its essential vitamin and mineral content becomes a perfectly balanced multivitamin.

When taken together, the protein, carbs, and fat in Mana deliver a record 176 health benefits, in accordance with the scientific evaluations of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The complete list of vitamins and minerals in Mana can be found below.

Approximately 99.5% of the ingredients in ManaPowder and ManaDrink are natural. The remaining ingredients are perfectly safe, certified, and have a long history of use in food.

Mana is developed by a team of food scientists and organic chemists led by organic chemist Marek Humpl, M.A., who has written a blog on the subject of synthetic substances.

Our staple flavour is the creamy, vanilla-oat flavour Origin, which we offer both as a powder and as a drink. Slightly oaty and subtle sweet, this was our first flavour, and is still our most popular. Some people compare it to lightly sweetened cake batter; others compare it to oatmeal. Though individual associations differ, there’s one thing we hear consistently: the taste gets better and better over time. Its "whitish" colour is a natural result of the ingredients we use.

For our other flavours, see www.drink-mana.com.

All of the foods we develop are and always will be free of GMOs and animal products. We think that plant foods are the way of the future, so animal products are an obvious no-go. And even if we wanted to use GMOs, which we don't, it would be very complicated due to the strict provisions contained in regulations No. 1829/2003 and 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Mana is developed by a team of food scientists, chemists, and biochemists in Prague, Czech Republic. Its composition is based studies conducted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), 2 proprietary clinical studies, and experience in clinical medicine.

The 2 proprietary clinical studies concerned the glycemic and insulin indices of ManaDrink, and were conducted in cooperation with Charles University and the Kralovske Vinohrady University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic. The studies found that ManaDrink has a relatively low glycemic index (29) and insulin index (41), making it suitable for use by diabetics within a framework of complex dietary treatment. We believe the same is true of ManaPowder, given its nutritional composition is nearly identical to that of ManaDrink.

Not only is the composition of our products backed by hard data from clinical studies, every ingredient we use is thoroughly tested in our own and state-certified labs. This helps us select only those ingredients that have high nutritional content relative to their ecological footprint.

Consumption of Mana, thanks to its wide spectrum of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, brings 176 benefits to your body and brain according to the scientific evaluations of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

The results of the studies can be found here.

ManaBar is a bar on a whole new level. It is a nutritionally complete and functional bar high in protein, vitamins and minerals. Thanks to its perfectly balanced amount of micro- and macronutrients and a caloric value of 200 kcal, it serves as a complete snack. It is compact and lightweight, so it fits in your jacket pocket, gym bag, school backpack or handbag. It's ideal for anyone who wants to have great food on hand at all times. It also complements our portfolio perfectly and, like ManaPowder and ManaDrink, is 100% plant-based. The minimum shelf life of the bar is 12 months.

The nutritional information about ManaBar Origin can be found here.

This little bar is the perfect source of energy. The composition and nutrient distribution is thought out in detail. And it perfectly matches the needs of a varied diet. ManaBar is suitable for adults and children from the age of three.

One ManaBar contains an average of 10 g of protein* with a complete profile of essential amino acids from quality plant sources - oats, soy, sunflower and flax seeds. It is enriched with special types of amino acids taurine and L-carnitine. Each serving thus supports both digestion and fat metabolism. There are 9 g of vegetable oils in one bar, which are a rich source of essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 and a source of phytonutrients and antioxidants (phytosterols, flavonoids, lignans and carotenoids), including tocopherols, i.e. vitamin E. These are rapeseed oil, sunflower and linseed fats and sunflower lecithin. It contains no palm fat.

In addition, one ManaBar gives you an average of 17 g* of complex carbohydrates from oats, corn, flax seeds and sunflower seeds. ManaBar is low in sugars. Instead of sugar in our bar, we use the naturally occurring sugar polyol maltitol, which is a low-calorie sweetener. Consuming ManaBar containing maltitol instead of other sugars leads - compared to foods containing sugar - to a reduction in the rise in blood glucose after consumption.

ManaBar is a source of fibre. Fibre supports the growth of good bacteria in your gut, which supports your physical and mental well-being. One ManaBar contains 6 g of fiber from oats, corn, soy, sunflower and flaxseed.

Our new ManaBar provides your body with 14 vitamins and 17 minerals from A to Z. You could say it is a multivitamin in an unconventional form. One 50 g bar will fortify the body with a full spectrum of B vitamins, including the valuable vitamin B12, which is often missing in plant foods. We've also added the semi-essential nutrient choline (sometimes referred to as vitamin B8) to the ManaBar formula. B vitamins help convert nutrients into energy, are important for proper development and functioning of the nervous system, improve memory, and help metabolize lipids and cholesterol. They also boost liver and eye health.

Also worth mentioning is the combination of vitamin D2 and D3, which are added to the latest recipe of Mana Mark 8 and are also contained in ManaBar. This combination supports the absorption and utilization of vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D plays an important role in the function of the immune system, contributing to the maintenance of normal bone health and muscle function.

Together with protein, fat and carbohydrates, ManaBar delivers a record 170 health benefits based on recommendations from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). For a complete list of the vitamins, minerals and trace elements in ManaBar, see the Nutrition Facts label.

*Nutritional information varies slightly by flavour. See nutritional label on product.

One 50 g ManaBar contains 200 kcal. Already one bar supplies the body with all macro- and micronutrients in a perfectly balanced ratio. It is designed as a nutritionally complete and healthy snack. It can be combined with a normal diet.

Based on the reference values of daily energy intake for an average adult (2,000 kcal), 2 to 3 bars can replace a full meal of 400 - 600 kcal. The total daily calorie intake should always be adapted to specific physical and body needs, e.g. height, weight, gender, age and physical activity.

ManaBar is high in protein, one bar gives you an average of 10g of protein from the highest quality plant sources. But it doesn't taste like a classic protein bar. It's crunchy and doesn't have an artificial taste like some protein bars do.

ManaBar comes in four divine flavours - Origin (a smooth, vanilla-oat flavour), Choco (our chocolate flavour with an extra portion of premium cocoa), Lime Cake (a dessert flavour of lime cheesecake) and Berries (a symphony of wild berries). Infused blackcurrant and blueberry concentrate give ManaBar Berries a fresh fruity taste and an extra serving of antioxidants, mainly called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins effectively protect against cell damage, premature aging and skin damage, the development of disease and support eye health.

Yes, ManaBar contains soy and oats, and it's made directly from specific proprietary ingredients. By manufacturing the product in a facility where other allergen-containing ingredients are processed, the bar may contain trace amounts of nuts, peanuts, milk, sesame and eggs.

The ManaBurger is the world's first nutritionally complete plant burger and is a complete alternative to beef in terms of taste, texture, and juiciness. It is full of healthy nutrients, including 5 types of protein and a comprehensive spectrum of amino acids (including EPA and DHA omega-3s). Altogether, it contains 38 vitamins and minerals. It has no GMOs, gluten, or added glutamate, and is low in sodium.

The ManaBurger is a mix of 5 plant proteins (pea, rice, hemp, mung bean, and algae), 5 plant oils with DHA and EPA omega-3s (canola oil, sunflower oil, algae oil, coconut oil, and flaxseed oil), fibre, potato starch, vitamins and minerals, herbs, and spices. It is dyed with beetroot, paprika, and apple extract, and its natural, smoky aroma is reminiscent of wood from European forests.

The types of protein in the ManaBurger are pea protein isolate, algae protein, mung bean protein, hemp protein, and brown rice protein. Peas are extremely rich in protein and fibre, and the other proteins even out the amino acid spectrum to its physical optimum. One burger patty delivers 20 g of protein.

The ManaBurger contains omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA. This comes from a combination of canola oil, algae oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, and flaxseed oil. One patty delivers 22 g of fat, only 5 of which is saturated.

There are only 4.2 g of carbs in each ManaBurger, the source of which is potato starch. This makes it keto-friendly. The fibre in the burger from cellulose, peas, rice, hemp, and mung beans.

Vitamins and minerals naturally occur in the ingredients of the ManaBurger, but we also add them in order to make it a multivitamin in unconventional form. In total, the ManaBurger delivers 38 vitamins and minerals.

The taste and texture is almost indistinguishable from ground beef. However, we respect that taste is a subjective matter and may be perceived slightly differently by each person. However, so far we have had great reviews from all the tests we have done across our staff, selected restaurants, ambassadors and foodservice professionals. We've done hundreds of tests and blind reviews.

The flavour and texture of meat could be achieved using only plant ingredients through science and research. But in order to meet that goal, we had to develop a unique production process involving special machinery and sophisticated treatment of ingredients. The result is a firm consistency, without sacrificing on juiciness or taste.

Our burger is gluten-free. Though we do not put soy in the burger, it is made on the same production line as our other foods, and therefore may contain trace amounts of soy. We plan to improve our production as soon as possible so that we can offer a burger that is 100% allergen-free.

If stored at a temperature of -18 °C, the ManaBurger will keep for one year from the date of manufacture. Prior to preparation it should be defrosted (ideally in the refrigerator), and should be kept cold until the moment it is cooked, just like meat. Defrosted ManaBurgers should be consumed within 48 hours.

Defrosted ManaBurgers can be cooked on a pan, in the oven, or on the grill. It can be cooked on oil, but we recommend cooking it without. Cook for 3 minutes on each side. When done, the outside surface of the burger patty should be crunchy and golden, and the inside should be juicy and pink. Serve warm.

Storage at -18 °C will prevent the nutrient content of the burger from diminishing. Neither will heat diminish the important nutrient content of the burger, if prepared according to our instructions. The ManaBurger should only heated for a few minutes, which is not enough to reduce the amounts of vitamins and omega-3s therein. When developing the nutritional profile of the burger, we took into account the fact that it would be cooked for this amount of time.

Mana has been developing alternative, nutritionally complete foods with a view to sustainable crop production and environmental friendliness since 2014. As part of our mission to promote sustainability, we wanted to offer a plant-based alternative to an iconic food that is popular the whole world over. That's why we developed the ManaBurger, whose taste and structure are nearly indistinguishable from those of meat, but whose production processes are significantly more friendly to the planet. Production of the ManaBurger uses less than half the energy and 99% less water than its beef equivalent.

The ManaBurger is not a food intended for vegans only. On the contrary. It is an alternative for lovers of meat and beef burgers who want to eat healthier and more environmentally friendly.

Mana is a nutritionally complete and modern alternative to traditional food suitable for healthy adults, as well as children aged 3 and older. Mana can be consumed any time you need a healthy, convenient, and cost-effective meal. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks.

For healthy adults, Mana is designed to be a full replacement for any or every meal. This means that you can live on a diet consisting exclusively of Mana, or simply use it to replace individual meals or snacks. How often you eat it is entirely up to you.

For children and adolescents between 3 and 18 years of age, Mana should not serve as a full diet replacement, but as an addition to a balanced diet. Our Choco flavour is particularly popular among children and adolescents. Detailed information on how to portion Mana for children and adolescents can be found here.

Mana is currently not intended for diagnostic or medical purposes. Although many of our customers have reported that Mana has helped them overcome health issues or dietary limitations, both serious and non-serious (e.g. food allergies/intolerance, diabetes), we strongly recommend consulting with a professional physician before consuming Mana during periods of illness or other health restrictions, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Detailed information on how to adjust the portioning of Mana for children and adolescents can be found here.

Mana can be safely consumed by children aged 3 and older. We recommend consulting a pediatrician or pharmacist before serving Mana to children under 3.

Optimal nutrition for children and adolescents

Children and adolescents in particular should be encouraged to eat a varied diet and eat regularly (at least 5 times per day). Their diets should be rich in protein, fibre, healthy fat, calcium, and vitamin D, which is important for proper bone development. They should also take in adequate amounts of other vitamins and minerals. Since their bodies are developing, it is essential that their diets are balanced.

Mana should not be a full substitute for a varied diet for this age group, but it may serve as a balanced replacement for fast food, vending machine food, or other sweets with added sugar. Our Choco flavour is especially appropriate for children and adolescents. Another advantage of Mana is that the quantity of nutrients in proportion to calorie intake is easily calculable.

Our foods contain no animal products and are suitable for all healthy adult vegans. No milk, eggs, or other animal products are processed on our production line.

Because Mana is entirely plant-based, however, many customers have wondered where we get our vitamin B12. We can assure you that the B12 in Mana is not of animal origin; instead, it's produced biotechnically using a specific microorganism.

In general, ManaDrink and ManaPowder are suitable for all healthy adults and children aged 3 and over. Adolescents and children over 3 should adjust serving size in accordance with their body weight.

Because the nutritional needs of pregnant/breastfeeding women may vary (for example, the recommended daily intake of some vitamins or minerals may be higher than average), we strictly recommend consulting a professional physician before including Mana in your diet if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Diets based on foods with low glycemic/insulin indices and low carbohydrate content have been repeatedly demonstrated to help control diabetes and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. The values of these indices are used to indicate the carbohydrate burden a given food has on our metabolism.

In cooperation with Charles University and the Kralovske Vinohrady University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic, we carried out a clinical study on the glycemic/insulin indices of ManaDrink. The study found that ManaDrink has a relatively low glycemic index (29) and insulin index (41), as well as relatively low carbohydrate content, making it suitable for use by diabetics within a framework of complex dietary treatment. We believe the same is true of ManaPowder, given its nutritional composition is nearly identical to that of ManaDrink.

Though uncommon, some consumers have reported bloating or irregular digestion when starting to use Mana. There can be many reasons for this, not all of which are related to Mana itself, but in some cases it can be because the body is not used to consuming protein and fibre in the amounts present in Mana.

If you plan on making Mana more than just a snack, we recommend gradually integrating it into your diet over the course of a week or so. For example, for the first 2 days, use Mana to replace just one meal per day. For the next 2 days, use it to replace 2 meals per day, and so on. In a week or so, any irregularities should subside.

Taking digestive enzymes when starting to consume Mana may be helpful, but whether or not they are will also depend on how big your portions are and how fast you drink them. We recommend sipping slowly.

If you have any doubts, or if difficulties persist, we recommend you stop consuming Mana and consult a physician. Feel free to provide them with the relevant nutrition label (found on our web page or section for each product). For example, the label for ManaPowder Origin can be found here.

You can lose, gain, or maintain weight with Mana just like with any other food. Follow these general rules:

To lose weight, make sure that your energy intake is less than your energy expenditure, and that you get enough vitamins and minerals.

To maintain weight, make sure that your energy intake matches your energy expenditure.

To gain weight, make sure that your energy intake is more than your energy expenditure.

The main advantage of Mana when doing any of these is the fact that it is simple to portion and its nutritional values are clear, so you can easily count calories and monitor your intake of individual nutrients. Serving sizes and/or number of servings should be adapted to your specific physical needs, as dictated by weight, height, gender, age, and lifestyle. Always keep in mind that Mana is a whole food, not a supplement.

Online calorie charts and calculators, mobile apps, and sports/smart watches can help you determine what daily energy intake is right for you.

Preparation

Nutrition information

Both ManaPowder and ManaDrink contain gluten and soy. One serving of ManaPowder contains 12 mg of gluten (in gliadin form), while one serving of ManaDrink contains 9 mg (also in gliadin form). The source of gluten in Mana is oat beta-glucans (fibre). The sources of soy in Mana are soy protein isolate and soy lecithin.

The ManaBurger does not contain gluten, though it may contain trace amounts of soy, as we produce it in a plant where other foods that contain soy are processed.

ManaBar contains soy and oats, directly from specific ingredients. By manufacturing the product in a facility where other allergen-containing ingredients are processed, the bar may contain trace amounts of nuts, peanuts, milk, sesame and eggs.

Allergies to certain ingredients in food can be caused by cross-allergies, which arise from the similarity of allergens. Cross-allergies occur when antibodies from the immune system respond to another allergen based on amino acid sequence similarity. In other words, if you are allergic to a certain food, you may be allergic to another food that contains a similar allergen. For example, there is a very common cross-allergy among legumes, so if you have an allergic reaction to peanuts, there is a 5% chance that you will be allergic to another legume. Cross allergies also occur among apples, birch pollen, and carrots (Mana contains carrot fibre). So, if you are allergic to a food other than Mana, or pollen, or any other allergens, check our product label before consumption.

ManaPowder – Our powdered Mana is designed for travel! It's got a long shelf life, is lightweight, and doesn't need refrigeration. Just throw a pouch in your suitcase and go.

Whether or not it is possible to take Mana on a plane depends on the airline and destination country. It is possible that Mana may be removed from your baggage out of the ignorance of airport personnel, but we are unaware of our customers having any problems taking it to the US or Asia. Many customers have reported successful transport of ManaPowder by plane, including in hand luggage.

ManaDrink is not suitable for carry-on luggage. Most airlines prohibit the transport of liquids in quantities over 100 ml in carry-on luggage (each bottle of our drink is 400 ml).

ManaPowder, ManaDrink, ManaBar and ManaBurger are nutritionally complete, plant-based foods that give your body everything it needs to be healthy. They can be used to replace just one or two meals per day, or they can serve as full replacements for your entire diet.

If you plan on making Mana more than just a snack, we recommend gradually integrating it into your diet over the course of a week or so. Don't replace all meals at once. Your body might need a bit of time to get used to the high amounts of protein and fibre in Mana.

Try using Mana to replace just one meal per day for the first 2 days. Then for the next 2 days, use it to replace 2 meals per day, and so on. Your body may need at least a week to adjust. How long exactly will depend on several individual factors, but the primary one will be your previous eating habits.

ManaDrink is a ready-to-drink food that requires no preparation. All you have to do is shake, open, and drink. Each bottle counts as one serving and delivers 330 kcal. Consume immediately after opening.

One standard serving of ManaPowder (400 kcal) is 86 g of powder mixed with 300 ml of lukewarm or cold water. One Mana scoop is 200 kcal/43 g of powder, so 2 scoops is the exact measure you need for one serving. If you don't have the scoop, 5 heaped tablespoons is a good approximation. Though this is our standard serving, feel free to adjust portion size according to your caloric needs.

To mix ManaPowder, used a sealed bottle or blender. Ideal for mixing is our Starter Kit, which includes the high-quality stainless steel Mana scoop and a 1-liter BPA/BPS-free Nalgene bottle.

Freshly mixed Mana is intended for immediate consumption, though it can keep for up to 24 hours in a sealed bottle in the refrigerator. If it is not possible to refrigerate your Mana after it's mixed, we recommend consuming it quickly. ManaPowder can also be used to bake cakes, pies, or other healthy dishes. But if you use it in this way, keep in mind that its nutritional and energy values may change.

ManaBurger also has a simple and quick preparation. Bake the defrosted burger on a griddle, in the oven or on the grill. Regular oil can be used, but we recommend preparing it without oil. Grill or broil for 3 minutes on each side. The surface of the ManaBurger will be golden and crispy and the inside will be beautifully pink and juicy. Serve and enjoy warm.

One ManaBurger without side dish has an energy value of 300 kcal and only 4 g of carbohydrates. If you prepare it like a real burger, including bun, dressing, lettuce and cheese, the resulting calorie value is approximately 550 - 600 kcal.

Click here for a complete preparation guide.

Check out our recipe page for some tips on how to prepare our plant-based burger.

If you decide to adopt an all-Mana diet, the recommended daily portion of ManaPowder is five 400-kcal servings or six 330-kcal bottles of ManaDrink.

These amounts are based on the reference values for energy intake for the average adult (2,000 kcal), so we recommend adjusting intake to your individual energy needs. In other words, your daily caloric intake should reflect your physiological needs as dictated by height, weight, age, level of physical activity, etc. You can find our portioning guide here.

How often you decide to consume Mana is purely up to you. You can use it to replace only one or two meals per day, or just use it when you're in a rush or don't feel like cooking. In short, Mana has been developed to be a complete food that can replace your entire diet, but which is also entirely suitable for less frequent use.

Mana should not be used as a complete diet replacement for children and adolescents, but rather as a nutritious snack. Detailed information on how to portion Mana for children and adolescents can be found here.

The ManaBurger is also nutritionally complete and suitable for a 100% regime, however, we do not assume that anyone eats only this food. Rather, the role of our burger is as a healthy alternative to beef, even on a daily basis. :)

Our ManaBar perfectly meets the needs of a varied diet. ManaBar is suitable for adults and children from the age of three. But again, it serves more as a full-fledged snack of 200 kcal.

You can prepare Mana according to your own needs and with different energy values according to these instructions.

ManaDrink, ManaPowder und ManaBar should be stored in a dark and dry place at a temperature of 10-25 °C. ManaDrink can also be stored in the refrigerator, but this is not necessary.

Thanks to the high quality packaging material and the high amount of natural antioxidants, ManaPowder has an 18-month minimum shelf life from the date of manufacture. The shelf life of the new ManaDrink Mark 8 is 8 months.

The reason for the shorter shelf life compared to the Mark 7 version is the choice of a more sustainable type of packaging material, a pure plastic bottle (PET) that is fully recyclable. Currently, UHT PET bottling technology allows a shelf life of six months. We believe that with further development we will achieve even longer shelf life. ManaBar, has a minimum shelf life of 12 months.

Once opened, the shelf life of a pouch of ManaPowder is 1 month. After every use, the pouches should be sealed using the ziplock. In case of the Family Pack, we recommend transferring the contents to airtight containers and storing in the dark after opening. This will extent the shelf life of the powder to 6 months from the date of opening.

Mana is a food with a minimum shelf life. In general, it is possible to consume foods after the expiration of their minimum shelf life, with the caveat that the amounts of some nutrients may be diminished. Expired foods may be perfectly fine for consumption if their storage instructions have been followed and if their sensory properties have not been compromised (i.e. taste and smell).

Combination with other foods

Mana is a complete food that has been developed to stand alone as a complete diet. Nevertheless, all flavours of powder and drink, especially Origin, can be combined with other ingredients (e.g. fruits, vegetables, spices, coffee, nut butters, etc.). If you want to use Mana to make healthy and tasty smoothies, your only limit is your imagination.


Combination with supplements (vitamins and protein etc.)

If you decide to combine Mana with dietary supplements, be sure not to exceed the recommended daily nutrient intake. For example, long-term excessive protein intake can burden the liver and kidneys.

If in doubt about how to properly combine Mana with nutritional supplements, we recommend consulting a dietician or nutritionist.

As inspiration, you can use the recipe on our website.

ManaDrink Mark 8 is filled with UHT technology into PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles. This type of plastic is easily recyclable and in some countries a part of a deposit system (e.g. in Germany). PET is an even more sustainable packaging solution than the one we used with Mark 7, which was a paper-plastic composite. The number of PET recyclings is almost infinite given its technology. Each pack contains 12 servings (12x330 kcal) of 400 ml ManaDrink. The drinks are packed in boxes of six pieces for easier transportation. The pack of six has dimensions 20.5 x 17.5 x 11.5 cm. The weight is 2770 g. Assuming proper storage, the minimum shelf life of ManaDrink is 8 months from the date of manufacture.

ManaPowder is packed in PET/ALU/PE pouches, which can be counted as plastic. This packaging protects the powder from moisture, light, oxygen, microorganisms, and other factors that may diminish its nutritional value. Assuming proper storage, the minimum shelf life of ManaPowder is 18 months from the date of manufacture.

One box of powder contains 7 pouches, which are made primarily of recycled paper. In each pouch is 5 servings (5 x 400 kcal), for a total of 35 servings per box. The dimensions of the box are 25 x 18.5 x 25.5 cm and the weight is 3.5 kg.

ManaBar is packed in a cardboard box of 28 pieces. Each bar is wrapped in PP (polypropylene) packaging. Each bar is 50 g and contains 200 kcal. The dimensions of the 28-piece pack are 7.5 cm (H) x 15 cm (W) x 30 cm (D). One pack weighs 1400 g.

The frozen ManaBurger is packed in food-grade PE (polyethylene) film and then in a paper box. One pack/box contains a total of 20 ManaBurgers divided into two packs of ten. The frozen ManaBurger has a minimum shelf life of 12 months from the date of production. The package measures 21 x 21 x 11 cm.

Water or fluid intake is a completely individual matter. Although ManaDrink Mark 8 now contains 400 ml and can be counted as one of the fluid sources, you cannot replace your water needs with it. Mana is a nutritionally complete meal and contains all the nutrients your body needs. We have increased the water volume in the new drink mainly to improve texture, taste and to better hydrate the nutrients. This makes the nutrients even more absorbable than before.

Mana is manufactured by Heaven Labs, s.r.o., which was founded in 2014 as a grassroots startup. Since then, it has been developing and manufacturing alternative, nutritionally complete foods with a view to the health of humans and the planet.

The company was founded and is owned by Jakub Krejcik (CEO), Marek Humpl (Director of Research and Development), and Grigory Vyatkin (Chief Designer).

The first iteration of Mana, Mark 1, was introduced to the market in August of 2014. The company has made thousands of other iterations since then, the newest being Mark 8 (the eighth iteration of Mana to be sold commercially). All Mark 8 flavours of ManaPowder can be found here, while all Mark 8 flavours of ManaDrink can be found here.

Mana's third main product, the ManaBurger, is a nutritionally complete alternative to beef. It is currently not available for commercial sale.

In 2023 we also introduced our newest nutritionally complete bar, the ManaBar. All flavours can be found here.
