Yes, Nälkä is proudly manufactured in a state-of-the-art, pharmaceutical-grade facility right here in Quebec. When it comes to sourcing, we take special care to ensure that we have as many locally sourced ingredients as possible, such as our organic cranberry. However, some of our ingredients are grown in different climates around the world, but we are always careful to source them from organic farms with sustainable growing practices like our Japanese matcha.

One of our strengths, preservation! Nälkä can be stored for over a year (18 months). The expiration date is printed on the back of the bags. Please just store them in a dry environment at a temperature between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius.

Nälkä is in love with the planet and the team is aware that it is important to take care of it. All our bags are recyclable. We want to go even further.

That's why we are constantly looking for packaging that can offer us the same quality of conservation while being more ecological.

Little secret for you, we are experimenting with biodegradable bags...

Nälkä meal drinks are delicious in any form! It's up to you to find out how you like it.

Here are a few tips:

To get a nice texture, we recommend using 300-350 ml of liquid of your choice. For a creamier texture, we suggest using milk or vegetable milk. It is up to you to play with the amount of liquid to give it the texture you want. It is always preferable to use a blender in order to obtain a creamy texture instantly.

Product

We've designed Nälkä specifically to fill you up without excessive calories, and we do so by optimizing the levels of proteins (17-18g), fibers (6g) and healthy fats (9g) - three key nutrients that help control hunger. Plus, with our serving of delicious Canadian gluten-free oats, you'll be satisfied for a long time.

Nälkä can be a useful tool if you are trying to lose weight. It's not a quick fix, but when we formulated Nälkä, our goal was to maximize the ratio of calories to satiety by optimizing the levels of protein (17-18g), fibers (6g) and healthy fats (9g) - three key nutrients that help control hunger. As a result, you feel full for a long period of time without excess calories.

Another reason Nälkä could help you lose weight is that it's really convenient - just mix it with water or the plant-based drink of your choice. The lack of quick but healthy options can be a major barrier to maintaining healthy eating habits that help you lose weight, but keeping a bag of Nälkä on hand can ensure that you are never without a nutritious option.

Nälkä is different from other protein powders and meal replacements in a few key ways :

Nälkä is not just protein shake. It's an all-in-one, nutrient-rich meal that contains a variety of superfoods, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and more to support physical and mental health. It has been designed with the proportions of a balanced meal according to Canada's food guide - Just add water or the plant based drink of your choice and blend! That's why we call it a meal drink.

Nälkä is of the highest quality and contains no preservatives, cheap fillers, colors, sweeteners or artificial flavors. Each ingredient is selected to support key health benefits and/or provide a subtle natural flavor. Not to mention that all our ingredients are organic. Nälkä really does taste amazing! It's not too sweet and doesn't leave an artificial aftertaste in your mouth. That's because we focus on quality ingredients and take our customers' feedback seriously. It took a lot of trial and error to get it right. Your taste buds' happiness is one of our priorities.

The timing really depends on your goals and your daily schedule, it's suitable for all lifestyles. Nälkä is ideal in the morning for a convenient, grab-and-go breakfast. It can also be a quick lunch if you need to get through your workday with minimal distractions, or a convenient late night dinner that won't be too heavy and disrupt your sleep. If you want to use it more strategically, to fuel your workouts, you can use as pre- or post- workout meal.

Our goal is to make healthy eating more accessible. Therefore, each meal drink contains 2 servings of fruits and vegetables.
