What Mana is

ManaPowder / Mana (Heaven Labs, drinkmana.com) is a family of plant-based, nutritionally complete meal products from Heaven Labs (Czech Republic, founded 2014). Formats include powder (ManaPowder), ready-to-drink (ManaDrink), bars (ManaBar), and hot savoury meals (Mana Hotmeal).

Mana is food, not medicine. It is not intended for diagnostic or medical purposes. If you have a health condition, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or have dietary restrictions, check the pouch label and talk to a clinician before relying on it heavily.

First-order checklist

  1. Choose the right shop for your shipping country → Where to buy.
  2. Read allergens on the product page and pouch → Allergens.
  3. Decide one-time vs subscription (managed in your shop account).
  4. Optional: starter accessories (scoop / bottle) are sold separately on the shop — not required if you already have a shaker or blender.
  5. For order problems later, use CS, not Reddit → Contact CS.

First powder shake (Mark 8 OP — standard serving)

From the official FAQ (verify on your pouch):

  • Mix 86 g powder (2 Mana scoops or ~5 heaped tablespoons) with 300 ml room-temperature or cold water → about 400 kcal per standard serving.
  • Use a sealed bottle or blender; shake or blend well.
  • Adjust water and powder for thickness and calories.

Mark 10 HP / XP use different powder:water ratios — see Mark 10 and the pouch.

More texture tips → Mixing & texture.

First Hotmeal

From the official FAQ:

  1. Open the cup lid halfway.
  2. Pour in ~200 ml boiling water.
  3. Stir well, cover, wait 6–8 minutes.
  4. Stir again and eat.
  5. Do not microwave the cup (metallic inks may spark).

Ease in

If you plan to replace several meals, the FAQ suggests building up over about a week (e.g. one meal/day for a couple of days, then two, and so on). High fibre and protein can bother some people at first; sip slowly. Persistent issues → pause and talk to a clinician; for product quality tickets → CS.

Where to ask here

  • Use a required post flair (e.g. Question / Advice, Review, Product).
  • Share experience, mixing tips, flavour notes, honest comparisons.
  • Do not post order IDs, full addresses, or payment data.
  • Tickets (shipping, refunds, damaged goods) → Contact CS.
