I have bought this pistachio flavoured drink. It has no pistachio. It tastes nothing like pistachio. It and pistachio were never in the same room. They didn't even see each other across the street one fateful night in Prague. Put no trust into that pistachio claim. It tastes like an indescribable green sludge, which doesn't really have that distinct Mana flavour either. Whatever it is, it feels good. But buy it for what it is, not what it isn't. Which is pistachio. Because it's certainly not.
I have tested various different brands from all over Europe and came to the conclusion that Mana Drink is the best by far! My favorites are Banana and Chocolate. Peach used to be the third on my list but unfortunately they stopped production on that flavor. The new Pistachio is also very good!
I first tried Mana years ago back in the Mark 4 days, when the fat came in separate little bottles. I genuinely loved the taste back then, but for various reasons I stopped ordering and moved on to other brands.
Now I’m approaching two years of eating 100% meal replacements (I rotate different companies for variety and balance), and I recently decided to return to Mana — this time Mark 8. I didn’t expect it, but the first servings gave me a very real feeling of nostalgia, as if I had stepped back into the early days when I first started building this lifestyle. That “coming back to the beginning” feeling was surprisingly meaningful for me.
Even though Mana is quite calorie-dense, it doesn’t keep me full for very long — at least in my case. I don’t see this as a “problem” so much as a personal satiety effect: different formulas and fat/carb profiles simply feel different for different people. And despite that, Mana remains one of my favorite powders. Taste-wise and overall feel-wise, it just works for me.
What I truly appreciate is that there are manufacturers who take this category seriously and keep developing it. For people like me, meal replacements are not a temporary hack — they can be a consistent, structured way of living that frees up time and mental energy, as long as the product is reliable and thoughtfully made. Mana is one of the products that helped shape my path in the first place, and I’m happy to have it back in my regular rotation from now on.
The fat profile is excellent. There’s always room to improve, of course, but I want to keep supporting the company as much as I realistically can.
Thank you to the team.
Conocí mana hace años, cuando me pusieron implantes en la boca.
Ahora es otra necesidad por enfermedad, cáncer con metástasis, y cuando estas tan mal, que no tienes ganas de nada, pero sabes que la alimentación es necesaria para sobrellevar el tratamiento, hay está el batido para ayudarte, o las barritas para despues de la analítica y salir del ayuno.
Gracias me ayudan mucho.
Mana Powder Strawberry has a lovely taste. We usually mix it with banana and milk.
This is my favourite taste of the powder. I like the texture, the salty/sweet taste, I appreciate the selection of ingredients and most of all, my stomach is happy. I'm usually sensitive to various foods and I find hard to digest carb-rich meals and gluten. But Mana is just a perfect solution for my travels and when I can't get a healthy meal, or have no time to organise one. I blend it with a little water and eat it like a porrige, it keeps me full for hours.
Esto ha sido por salud, hace años ya tomé mana ,cuando me puse implantes en la boca. Ahora es por un cáncer, esto me ayuda a tener todo lo necesario, para que mi organismo esté bien nutrido.
Es rapido de hacer, no hace olor que me provoque náuseas, y fácil de tragar.
Ahora en casa todos toman tambien. Desayunos rápidos y fuertes.
Estás su sabor nos han gustado mucho.
Excelentes para cualquier ocasión que no sepas cuanto tardarás en volver a casa.
Tienen un sabor muy agradable, y van muy bien para llevarlas en cualquier ocasión que no sepas cuanto tardarás en volver a casa.
I find the flavor really nice, not too sweet, chocolatey with nice hazelnut flavor.
Wow, this a rich and nutty powerhouse of a shake. The balance of flavours is just right for my palate and makes for a very satisfying drink experience with a great nutritional profile.
Geniales, con un sabor muy bueno.
Me están ayudando mucho a recuperarme, he tenido mala salud y me alimentaba muy mal, porque estaba cansada y dolorida.
I’ve just tried Mana Drink for the first time, and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s incredibly convenient — ready to go, smooth in texture, and surprisingly satisfying. The flavor is pleasant and clean, and it feels like a full meal without any effort. While I’ve been a long-time user of Mana Powder, I can see myself keeping a few bottles of Mana Drink around for those extra busy days. It’s a fantastic product that lives up to the high standard I’ve come to expect from Mana.
I've been using Mana Powder for several years now, and it has consistently exceeded my expectations. It’s my go-to meal when I need something quick, balanced, and nutritious. I love the neutral taste — it’s easy to drink on its own or mix with other ingredients if I want variety. It keeps me full and energized without any heaviness. The quality has been reliable over the years, and it’s clear Mana puts care into their products. Absolutely essential in my daily routine!
For me the big bag is about a year consumption (consummation?) of lunch when I don´t have time or am on the go.
I like the taste and my only critique would be that sometime it clumps so I have to sprinkle it into my shaker to not get pieces of powder.
I have 3 of these shakes a week and feel great after just my first week! Lots of energy and fills me up till lunch, 100 % recommend
Delicious and refreshing to enjoy now that the temperatures are rising.
After a few days of use, my energy and feeling of well being has increased.
I'm very pleased with the formulation, texture and flavour. The product works well for me and I'd recommend to Vegan and Non-Vegans alike.
My favourite flavour of the current options. Tastes kinda like a strawberry smoothie, easy to drink every day.
This flavour doesn't miss. It fits well with anything and you can mix it up however you want. The neutral, mildly sweet taste isn't boring, sates my hunger for hours and is the one I keep coming back for.
I love the taste: it's neutral in the sense that it doesn't resemble any common dessert, yet it's flavorful! The powder mixes well (even without a mesh) and has a smooth, pleasant texture.
Besides making shakes, I also use this powder to make a milk alternative that I pour over granola — works great!
I've tried three other common brands, and for me Mana is the best vegan complete meal powder available in Europe ✨
I like how simple and natural the flavor of those origin bars is. I think I overall prefer the powders and drinks, but it's a nice alternative.
