We're Launching Mana Hotmeal. The First Hot, Nutritionally Complete Meal With Roots in Space.
We're launching our latest innovation – Mana Hotmeal. This is the first hot, savoury meal with 400 kcal, 32 g of protein and texture, served in a 500 ml cup, delivering nutrition at the level of space research, the comfort of modern living, and benefits that exceed expectations. Hotmeal builds on more than a decade of Mana’s product development and expands its iconic Mark 8 portfolio – the eighth-generation recipe based on science-backed nutrition, high-tech biotechnology, and sustainability.
A Product With Roots in Space.
Hotmeal is the result of technological development
born from a collaboration between Mana and its spin-off Rocket Lunch, founded by
Jakub Krejčík and formed by the core of Mana’s R&D team. Between 2021 and 2024, the
team was awarded in NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge for designing “Bistromathic” – a hardware system for producing food for Artemis missions and the
colonization of the Moon and Mars. Now, this technology is coming to Earth – in a
format anyone can use: just add hot water. Mana Hotmeal is further proof that the future of nutrition is no longer only in the stars.

“Hotmeal was created in response to the challenge of designing food that can
serve as the foundation of future nutrition – both on Earth and in space.” — Jakub Krejčík, CEO of Mana
Go Full Steam Ahead All Day Long.
With Hotmeal, you can power through the day without energy crashes, fatigue, or that heavy feeling. Each portion contains complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and MCT C8 from coconut oil for fast, high-quality energy, along with 5–6 g of fibre from peas and rice to support easy digestion. Unlike regular instant meals, it’s free from excess salt and empty calories.
Start your day with a Drink or Powder, enjoy a warm, satisfying Hotmeal during the day, and reach for a ManaBar as a snack — now you can eat healthy and delicious meals all day long, no excuses. No food coma, no drop in performance. Just clean energy that has your back, whether you're on a daily mission or an interstellar one.
Nutrition of the Future. In a Cup.
Although the composition varies slightly depending on the flavour, the core recipe is carefully designed:
- pea and soy protein isolate as the base,
- gluten-free pasta or rice,
- dried vegetables,
- spices and herbs for massive flavour,
- 33 vitamins and minerals (including choline, L-carnitine, and taurine) to perfect the nutrition.
You can now order Mana Hotmeal as a one-time purchase in a pack of 8 servings. If you’d rather taste it first, go for the Taster Pack – it includes 2 servings of each flavour. Which one will be your perfect match?
