Flavor and nutrition,
without compromise.
Great flavor and strong nutrition are not competing goals. Every recipe is developed to deliver both.
Nutrition with purpose
Hours of recipe work go into the protein, calories and fiber needed for a full, active day.
Real food, cooked first
Tofu, lentils, chickpeas, vegetables, rice and spices become complete meals before freeze-drying.
Indian flavor, made here
Inspired by food I grew up eating, then cooked and packed in small batches in Minneapolis.
About NOMaste
Better plant-based meals for wherever you go.
NOMaste grew out of more than a decade of camping and backpacking, and a simple frustration: the plant-based meals I found never tasted like food I wanted to eat.
I wanted bold Indian flavor, enough protein and calories to fuel a long day, and ingredients I could feel good about. So I started making the meals myself.
Today, every recipe is cooked in small batches and made for much more than the trail.
Customer reviews
People remember the flavor.
★★★★★“It is near impossible to find tofu in a backpacker-friendly meal. This is exceptionally delicious. It rehydrates better than any other meal I have had, and that is saying something.”

Good to know.
What makes NOMaste different from other freeze-dried meals?
I cook each recipe in small batches before freeze-drying it. You can see the tofu, lentils, chickpeas, vegetables and rice, and the meals have enough protein, calories and fiber to feel like a real meal.
Are the meals vegan and gluten free?
Yes. All four meals are vegan and made without gluten-containing ingredients. I do work in a shared kitchen, so please check the ingredient list if you have a severe allergy.
How do I prepare a meal?
Open the pouch, remove the oxygen absorber and add boiling water. Stir, reseal and let it sit for 8 to 10 minutes. Give it another stir and it is ready to eat.
How many servings are in each pouch?
Each pouch is labeled as two servings. After a long hike, plenty of people eat the whole pouch. It also splits easily when you want a smaller meal.
How long do the meals last?
At least one year when the unopened pouch is stored in a cool, dry place - we continue to lab test meals to increase best-by date and hoping to expand to longer time soon. Check the best-by date printed on your package.
Are the meals spicy?
They are flavorful, not fiery. I use plenty of warm Indian spices, but the meals are not meant to overwhelm you with heat.
Where are NOMaste meals made?
I cook, freeze-dry and pack every batch in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Do you offer wholesale?
Yes. NOMaste works with outdoor stores, co-ops and independent retailers. Email contact@nomastemeals.com and tell me a little about your store.
