Yanaa is an acronym for ‘You Are Not An Astronaut’. You are not an astronaut – because you shouldn't have to eat space food, we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously, and we need to take care of THIS planet.
Yanaa sachets are tasty and authentic sporting food supplements, made from organic and whole ingredients. They are designed for athletes in search of healthy and balanced energy, without added sugar or synthetic additives.
Because it's easy to open and use, clean and convenient to take with you wherever you go. The pouch is resealable, allowing you to take small, regular doses throughout your activity. It's easy to consume while cycling, running or hiking, with no sticky packaging or crumbs to deal with. Even though the packaging is not biodegradable, our research has shown that it is the best possible compromise: it guarantees a long shelf life and, above all, prevents food waste.

Yanaa is a savoury snack made with wholesome ingredients and cooked with real food. It's like enjoying a homemade meal while you're exercising and exploring
Only in the best way. It’s pouch-based for portability, but our recipes are adult-level delicious: The recipes are delicious, balanced, indulgent, and tailored for endurance.
We only use authentic and complete ingredients: legumes, cereals, olive oil, herbs and spices. No preservatives, no added sugar (except for flavour, as in our Madras Mild Spices purée), and no ingredients with unpronounceable names. In short, it's like eating a real meal prepared with everyday ingredients.
Our clever ingredients! Our recipes contain complex carbohydrates (from foods with a low glycaemic index) and healthy fats. Chickpeas, quinoa, olive oil... these are nourishing sources of energy that are a change from fast-acting sugars. By focusing on these natural fuels, our purées provide energy gradually.
It's a versatile fuel: a snack-sized, real-food option to consume before, during, or after your workout. It's not a complete meal, but it provides consistency.
Fresh, savoury and balanced. Neither bland nor overly spicy, our flavours are designed to appeal even when you're working hard. Imagine hints of lemon, mint, a touch of mild curry, a dash of olive or herbs... Just what you need to enjoy a little taste sensation during exercise, especially when sweet things are no longer appealing.
Yes! Many of our recipes are suitable for different diets:
Vegetarian or vegan
(Check the label of each recipe for specific details, but we make sure there's something for everyone.)
From organic farms in France and Europe whenever possible. Our spices come from India and our quinoa from Latin America. Each ingredient is carefully selected for its taste quality.
For anyone who is active and enjoys good food! Trail runners, triathletes, yogis, Sunday cyclists or morning runners, Yanaa is here for you. If you're looking for a natural source of energy during your activities (and even outside of them), our snacks are for you. Whether you're a pro or an amateur, a marathon runner or a casual hiker, Yanaa can come along for the ride. And let's be honest: drinking a Yanaa pouch won't magically make you run faster, but it's always better than setting off on an empty stomach!
