A complete meal in a bottle. Astronaut Food delivers on a promise: all the nutrients your body needs – in a compact, instantly available form. That’s exactly what Saturo is. 400 kcal, 36 g plant-based protein, 26 vitamins and minerals, with no added sugar. 100% vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free. No tubes, no mixing powder, no compromises. You chill, shake, drink – and you’re sorted. Six flavours, ready to drink straight away.
Astronaut food refers to shelf-stable, nutrient-controlled meals that deliver all essential macro- and micronutrients in compact form. Originally developed by NASA for space travel, the term today covers both medical drinkable nutrition and complete drinkable meals for healthy adults.
Modern astronaut food has little in common with the early aluminium tubes from the Apollo programme. What unites all variants is the high nutrient density – lots of calories, protein, vitamins and minerals in a small volume. The range goes from ready-to-drink bottles to powders you mix yourself, right through to balanced drinkable nutrition from the pharmacy.
Saturo takes this principle and brings it into everyday life: a complete 400-kcal meal for healthy people, for when cooking isn't an option. Not as a stopgap, but as a real meal with a balanced macronutrient profile, fibre from chicory root and 26 vitamins and minerals – with real flavour and no preparation needed.
It depends on the product. Medical drinkable nutrition is designed for short-term use during illness. Drinkable meals like Saturo deliver 36 g protein, 26 vitamins and minerals, and no added sugar — a complete nutrient profile suitable for everyday use by healthy adults too.
Often for malnutrition, cancer, COPD, after surgery, or with swallowing difficulties. Doctors prescribe balanced diets when regular food intake isn't sufficient. Use should be under medical supervision.
Medically: when normal meals are temporarily not possible. In everyday life: as a complete meal when you're short on time, on the go, or when cooking isn't an option. Older people with a reduced appetite also benefit from the controlled nutrient intake.
It depends on your goal. For medical purposes, balanced diets like Fresubin or Fortimel are well established. For everyday use, Saturo offers the broadest nutrient profile with 400 kcal, 36 g protein and 26 vitamins and minerals per bottle — for €4.39 per meal.
Medical drinkable nutrition: €2–6 per portion, sometimes on prescription. Everyday drinkable meals: €3–5. A bottle of Saturo costs €4.39 (€1.10/100 ml).
Medical drinkable nutrition, yes — it's available at pharmacies and can be prescribed for certain conditions. Drinkable meals like Saturo aren't balanced diets, so they're available in our online shop or in retail, not at the pharmacy.
