Reviews & Testimonials
For the last three years, athletes, scientists and nutritionists across Europe have been testing Yanaa’s savoury energy purées in training and on race day. Here you’ll find feedback from experts and athletes on what makes Yanaa great – and why real-food sports nutrition is the best place to start.
“The puree pouch alternative to gels”
Le Cycle highlights Yanaa as natural sports nutrition: organic savoury puree pouches, cooked in France and built around legumes to support effort with a low glycemic approach. A refreshing change when athletes are tired of sweet products, with a thicker texture that stays easy to consume on the bike—a practical healthy snack / food pouch for endurance training and race-day feed zones.
“Stable energy, easy digestion”
Velo Life describes Yanaa as 100% natural, organic sports nutrition, focused on savoury purees for endurance athletes (trail, cycling, swimming, hiking). Positioned as an alternative to ultra-processed sweet gels, Yanaa’s legume-based puree pouch / food pouch delivers stable energy with strong digestive comfort—designed for athletes who want performance nutrition and real-food taste.
“A healthy snack that digests easily”
Outlines spotlights Yanaa as a new take on savoury sports nutrition from Annecy- created to deliver a “healthy product with great taste.” Positioned against carb-heavy shelves, Yanaa offers nutritious, savoury, easy-to-digest options for outdoor athletes, including a discovery pack of convenient puree pouches / food pouches for endurance adventures.
“Gourmet, highly digestible savoury fuel”
Trail Endurance Mag says Yanaa “changes the rules” by replacing “astronaut food” with real dishes: gourmet, digestible savoury fuel praised for subtle flavour and long-lasting palatability. Framed as a great way to add variety and bring appetite back during ultra efforts, it’s a satisfying healthy snack / food pouch approach to endurance sports nutrition.
“I am your biggest fan.”
I had two lemon ones in the morning, which went down a treat, then the curry one at lunchtime, which was a delight for my taste buds. And in the evening, the pea one... oh my goodness, it felt like I was eating a proper meal, it was just so good.
“Huge game changer”
Honestly, olives are a huge game changer! They really helped me during the UTMB trail run in Majorca this morning. Honestly... they're the best! It went really well and it's great to have something savoury that tastes good to eat during a run like that.
“The products are magnificent.”
I discovered your brand thanks to Vojomag and I just wanted to say that your website is incredible, and the whole design makes me want to try it out!🐥Long live Yanaa 👍

I really liked them a lot, and so did my girlfriend, who prefers savoury snacks. They're different, tasty and full of good things.
“Excellent digestion on trails”
The taste is really very good, it feels like you're having a proper dinner, and it's easy to digest too. In any case, it's much better than *****.
