8-Pack Hydration
8-Pack Hydration
NOORA Blends are a functional snack pouch with 8 grams of fiber per serving with fruit and sweet potato purees, and VITERO (a patented blackcurrant & pea protein complex ). Eat straight from the pouch, blend into a smoothie, or pour over yogurt or cottage cheese.
The Hydration Blend is a mix of organic strawberries, a full electrolyte blend including magnesium, potassium, calcium & zinc with no high intensity sweeteners.
What's in it: organic strawberries, organic sweet potatoes, acacia fiber, strawberry juice concentrate, VITERO (pea protein, black currant extract), electrolyte blend (magnesium citrate, dipotassium phosphate, calcium ascorbate, calcium citrate tetrahydrate, potassium chloride, zinc citrate, sodium chloride, manganese citrate), ground chia seeds, organic lemon juice concentrate.
Why VITERO: Most polyphenols break down before your body can use them. VITERO binds them to protein so more of what's in the blackcurrant actually makes it through digestion intact.

These delicious packets of healthy fruit are so versatile, you can squeeze them into or onto almost anything you think would be better with a touch of fruit -- protein pancakes and waffles, into a smoothie, over frozen yoghurt or ice cream, mixed into yoghurt, as a layer in a healthy parfait (difficult to make these healthy but possible), or directly into your mouth for a quick snack!I like that this is a variety pack allowing you to try out various flavors. I also like how portable they are, you can pack them into a lunch or picnic bag.I love black currants, so that these contain the black current is a big plus to me -- for health and taste reasons.I highly recommend these to those wanting healthy options in a world dominated by artificial flavors and toppings.I also really like the extra touch in packaging -- it's nice to see a thank you note when an order is delivered and the items arrive in a nice box.
When I saw these fruit pouches, I laughed because they were reminded me of the applesauce I used to get for my kids. But this is anything like the kid version, these are fruit pouches for adults.First, I just have to say that their packaging is amazingly awesome! They have a cute little note inside. The box is great and the pouches are really good quality. I know that sounds silly- the stuff inside is just as good but I just have to comment that they really do make it look classy.I put the pouches in the fridge because I want to experience on them cold and I believe that was the right choice. They are super easy to twist off the top and then I’ve just been drinking them straight kind of like my kids do. They taste very good to me, very exotic. I don’t feel this is just a simple strawberry taste, but it feels very upgraded. I want to use the word classy again because these really are high-quality fruit pouches. They also aren’t thick enough to be gross. I bet they would be awesome in smoothies!I can’t testify for the health benefits they advertise- I’ve been enjoying them for the flavor and convenience. My stomach has been fine eating them when it’s empty and I’ve had no negative side effects. Again, I don’t know about the promised benefits or what they’re made for but they sure do taste good.
Noora is a small women owned company from Raleigh, NC that makes functinal blend pouches. The sample box comes with two pouches of each kind:Hydration : Very sweet potato forward at room temp, strawberry hits after. Refreshing fruit forward when cold.Immunity: Berry flavor hits first, you can feel the sweet potato texture, but the taste is subdued. Berry forward when cold.Calm: Even taste of sweet potato and tart cherry at room temp. Obviously cherry forward when cold.Clarity: Liquidiest texture from brewed green tea being included as ingredient (as opposed to green tea extract). Has hint of tropical flavor at room temp. Slight fruitiness when cold, tastes much weaker than other flavors when chilled.They must have put a lot of thought in the flavor, even with sweet potatoes being one of the 2 main ingredients in all of the flavors, it was not overwhelming at all. Each pouch contains 8g of dietary fiber and added sugar is anywhere from 0-4g per pouch depending on flavor. Having had only two pouches of each variety, I cannot say they have the effects they claim, but at 29% of daily fiber per pouch, they are healthy tasting, easy to pack, quick additions to up your fiber intake. I highly recommend chilling them first!

These fruit pouches are a convenient way to add extra nutrition to smoothies, yogurt, ice cream, or simply enjoy straight from the pouch.Each pouch contains black currant polyphenols, which have been studied for their potential role in supporting metabolism, weight management, chronic disease prevention, and healthy cell function. One paper I read, The Role of Polyphenols in Human Health and Food Systems: A Mini-Review, discusses some of this research.The Hydration pouch, for example, includes electrolytes, 18 grams of carbohydrates (including 8 grams of fiber from sweet potatoes and chia), and only 5 grams of sugar, with just 1 gram of added sugar.The texture is similar to a fruit puree, so the contents can be a little squirty—I almost always spill a small amount when pouring it. It isn't syrupy, jelly-like, or overly sweet. Instead, it has a pleasantly earthy flavor that lets the fruit come through naturally. The dark color looks natural, with no artificial dyes or flavors. It will stain your clothes if you spill it.I made a smoothie using coconut water, frozen pineapple, and the Hydration pouch (Strawberry + Electrolytes) after working in the garden on a hot day. It was refreshing, and I felt like I recovered my energy more quickly than if I had just drank water. It wasn't the prettiest smoothie, but the flavor was delicious, light, and refreshing—not heavy or overly sweet.I can't say I've noticed any dramatic health changes during the short time I've been using these, but I do appreciate the quality of the ingredients and the science behind them.My only real complaint is the packaging. The pouches arrived in a larger-than-necessary, attractively printed box. Each pouch is made of foil-lined plastic, similar to a children's juice pouch, with a gusseted bottom so it can stand upright. The large plastic cap is easy to grip and open, which is especially helpful since I have arthritis. However, I'd like to see less packaging and more environmentally friendly materials. That might also help reduce the cost, which works out to about $5.25 per pouch.
The hand written note is so sweet. What a classy touch.I really really want to like these. But, they are a little sour for me. And thick.I definitely put them in the fridge. They are small and easy to take with you on the go.Only 60 calories in the green one.I think the rub is that they're not sweet at all. A little sweetness would help. But, maybe that's what's wrong with our society is that we crave things that are too sweet??Love the ingredients. All natural.I think they should put the nutritional info on the page.At $4 each, they are high in price in my opinion.I don't think they're that great on their own - but drizzled over yogurt was enjoyable. Felt European!
I am always on the lookout for new, healthier food options, but because my schedule is constantly packed, the easier and quicker an option is, the better. I had never tried a functional blend pouch quite like this before, but these definitely met my needs. They are incredibly convenient to carry around—I can easily throw one in my purse, they fit perfectly in my hand, and the twist-off cap makes them effortless to open on the go. A huge plus is that the caps are re-closable, so if I don't finish one, I can just put the cap back on and pop it in the fridge for later.After trying these blends both at room temperature and chilled, I highly suggest refrigerating them first. They taste significantly better when cold; at room temperature, the flavors just didn't pop as well for me.The texture across the variety pack is unique, with each pouch being slightly different. Some are a bit more runny while others are slightly pastier. The flavor profiles are distinct and genuine, allowing you to taste a multitude of real ingredients in each pouch:Clarity (Teal Pouch): I could clearly taste the green tea alongside notes of mango and pineapple.Calm (Maroon Pouch): This one delivers a tart, earthy flavor that is very reminiscent of chamomile tea.Immunity (Blue Pouch): This was my favorite! It has a dominant blueberry taste that is incredibly refreshing.Hydration (Pink Pouch): Unfortunately, this one was my least favorite. It didn't quite taste like what I expected. To me, it had a runny yet pasty texture with a tart, baby-food-like veggie/fruit flavor that left an odd lingering taste.If I am in a massive rush, I will eat these directly from the pouch. However, I found that I vastly prefer mixing them into my yogurt with granola or blending them into a smoothie. Doing this makes the snack much more filling and sneaks in excellent, healthy ingredients—like adaptogens, chia seeds, and fiber—that I wouldn't normally get in my daily diet.Best of all, they didn't bother my stomach at all. Aside from the hydration flavor not quite hitting the mark for me, this variety pack offers a great, high-quality experience for anyone managing a busy routine!
As a 50 something year old man, I have been trying to make better everyday choices without overcomplicating things. These portable Noora Functional Blends pouches turned out to be an easy way to do that.What I liked right away was the convenience. I can just grab a pouch and take it with me, which makes it easy to use at work or when I am on the go. There is no preparation needed, and that makes it more likely I will actually use them consistently.I also liked having the variety pack. Being able to try Calm, Focus, Hydration, and Immunity gave me a sense of what fits best into different parts of my day. Some days I wanted something more calming, other times I wanted a bit of a focus boost, and it was nice having that option without buying separate products.The taste is more natural and fruit forward than overly sweet, which I appreciated. It feels more like something made from real ingredients rather than something artificial. It is not candy like, but in a good way, more grounded and wholesome.After using them, I just felt like I was adding something simple and positive into my routine. Nothing dramatic, just a steady sense of doing something good for myself without any hassle.Overall, this felt like an easy and practical way to support different parts of my day depending on what I need.
At first I had no idea what this stuff was or how to use it but as soon as I started adding it into my daily routine I was hooked!I use one a day as part of my daily wellness routine either straight from the pouch, as a topping (yogurt, oatmeal), or as an add in to a beverage (smoothie, cold coffee drink, post workout protein drink). And if I only use a little I’ll stick the pack in the fridge for the next day. It’s such a great sub for whatever ingredient you usually use to add sweetness. It’s a good sweet to tart balance. My favorite is the Immunity.After a week or two I noticed improvement to my digestion and energy levels. These really are a unique product and I’m glad I found them!
This comes gorgeously packaged, both in terms of the box and the package of the product itself. The texture reminds me of finely blended apple sauce. The taste is a little tart, but I'd rather have less added sugar so I can adjust to taste rather than it being too sweet. The pouches range between 5-8g of sugar. They have a good amount of fiber (almost 30%) and the ingredients are mostly organic without a ton of additives. The most appealing selling point would be the ingredients list. I enjoyed adding this to my oatmeal. To drink by itself is not very filling/fulfilling. Portion size is very small. Th pouches are convenient if you are on the go.This would be a splurge item for me, but if your budget allows, go for it. Value is relative.
Just as the product says, you can drink it straight, drizzle on cereal or oats, or mix with your smoothie. I have done each and love how these deliver actual fruit flavor, not fruit buried under sugar or other sweeteners. Pure goodness! They are Made in USA, include only simple and pure ingredients, are made by a new business, and since I am an early customer it seems, I found a handwritten thank you note inside the beautiful box it came in. I love storing mine in the fridge, but it is amazing I can also throw one in my backpack for work and I don’t have to refrigerate it. Very portable. Same wonderful taste and smooth texture. Highly recommend for healthier alternative and easy to use option. I often buy bottled smoothies , not drinking all at once for $9-12 dollars so this is good value for the money. Try them!
I’ve tried a lot of functional wellness products and most disappoint somewhere. NOORA delivers on all fronts: great taste, clean simple ingredients, and grab-and-go convenience that fits any routine. Love that they’re made in the USA by a team that clearly cares about the science behind the product. These have become a regular staple in our house. Highly recommend.
As a busy mom, I'm always looking for a good "purse snack" (said in the Moana/Maui "boat snack" voice :) ) to have on the go for either myself or my kiddos. I'm excited to have come across Noora blends. Its in portable, shelf-stable packaging that easily fits into a purse or backpack. I originally bought this as a parent "purse snack" to counterbalance the usual kid stuff that's full of carbs or sugar. The selling points to me were that as there are no artificial sweeteners - I'm not someone who enjoys the overly sweet stuff! Looking at the ingredient list, I'm thrilled - organic sweet potatoes for fiber, black currants for polyphenols, pea protein for protein, and organic fruits to flavor each of them.When the package arrived, you could tell a lot of thought went into this product - beautiful packaging! Well, it also piqued the kiddos interest and they immediately wanted to open the box. They quickly dove in for the Hydration and Immunity packs, and they were gone almost instantly. When I got the chance to try the Clarity and Calm, I loved them both. You can taste the whole ingredients. With the texture, you can tell its full of fiber. Its less of a drink and more of a smoothie or sauce consistency. The company's socials recommend adding it on top of greek yogurt or into smoothies - we have found both to be quite delicious.We bought the variety pack less than a week ago, and we are down to one packet. I would call that a huge success with two picky eaters. The kids want to take it to school - its easy to use! I'll continue using it as a "purse snack".We look forward to buying more and finding more uses for this nutritious snack!
I was really excited to try the different Noora flavors. I like how you can eat them straight out of the pouch on the go or add them to your granola bowl! My favorite is adding them to cottage cheese, every single flavor tastes great.
The taste is okay, although I find most of the flavors a little bland. The texture is very smooth, similar to applesauce, so they're easy enough to just slurp straight from the pouch. I like the idea of having different blends for things like calm, focus, hydration, and immunity.That said, I can't say I noticed any obvious difference from the calm or focus blends when I tried them, so I really have no idea whether they're doing what they claim. My biggest issue is the price. At more than $4 each for a pretty small pouch, I don't think they're a good value. They're pleasant enough to eat and I don't dislike them, but for the price I wouldn't buy them again.
First one I tried was calm..instantly I could feel it . Like when you do a good cleanse and your eating something natural and healthy your body ✨️ feels magical. Definitely coming back for more . Can't wait to try the rest.
These were good in quite a few ways, but I doubt I would get them again. If I do it will be the "clarity" flavor.I am someone who usually honestly enjoys healthy food and snacks, so i was honestly surprised when I realized that the only thing I didn't really like about these was the taste.The size and packaging are extremely convenient. The ingredient list looks great. I felt good after eating them and had good energy levels. The texture was very yoghurt-like, so if that works for you, these will.But I didn't enjoy eating them. I don't know how to describe it exactly but the flavors felt like they were too strong and somehow also boring at the same time.If you aren't someone who really cares about flavor, I'd definitely say to give these a try if the ingredients align with your goals for yourself. But my experience wasn't great.
So so good! It's delicious and I love that it has ingredients you can spell and understand. Really great flavors and I didn't even mix it into anything. Highly recommend
Not only are these pretty, they are tasty. They also come in a really nice box. I'm not sure these are a gift-able item, but you could reuse the box as a gift box.These are perfect size for on-the-go and make a great healthy lunch treat or just an afternoon snack. I love that they have clean ingredients and none of the artificial fillers. I also like that each pouch only has 60-80 calories.The consistency is liquid smoothie-like, sort of like smushed, blended fruit. I would have liked them to be a little more smooth and thick, but that's just my preference.Each flavor is labeled with a different feature like clarity, hydration, immunity and calm, but I'm not sure that they really have any affect regarding those. I liked all the different flavors enough, bu they aren't sweet, which I was sort of expecting. I like them better drizzled on my yogurt than by themselves.They are about $4 per pouch, so a little on the high side.
Great on-the-go snack with real ingredients and great taste! Recommended for moms on the go who want to prioritize their wellness.
