Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nourishmeal keto-friendly?

Yes! Nourishmeal is designed specifically for keto and low-carb diets. With only 5g net carbs per serving, 20g of protein, 25g of fat, and 6g of fibre, it fits easily into most ketogenic meal plans. On its own, it has a 1:1 fat to protein + carbs ratio, making it suitable for a relaxed keto diet. If you are aiming for a higher fat to protein + carbs ratio, we recommend stirring in some coconut oil or MCT oil. 

For a 2:1 ratio, add 13mL (0.9 tablespoons) coconut oil

For a 3:1 ratio, add 31mL (2.1 tablespoons) coconut oil

For a 4:1 ratio, add 49mL (3.3 tablespoons) coconut oil

Another way to increase the fat content is to prepare your Nourishmeal using a combination of water plus heavy cream. We recommend adding 30mL of heavy cream to 130mL of water for the total recommended liquid of 160mL. Not only will this help put you into ketosis, but it will also add richness and flavour as well!

  

Is Nourishmeal gluten-free?

Nourishmeal is not made with any ingredients that contain gluten; we use only seeds, coconut products, marine collagen, and spices. However, the kitchen we currently use does have gluten products present, so it’s possible there could be trace amounts of gluten in our product.

 

What does Nourishmeal taste like?

Nourishmeal has a warm, nutty, slightly sweet flavour that's reminiscent of traditional oatmeal but with more depth and richness. The combination of coconut and seeds creates a naturally satisfying taste without needing added sugar. Many customers describe it as "comforting," "hearty," and "more flavourful than regular oatmeal." It's delicious on its own, and even better when topped with your favourite nuts, seeds, berries, nut butter, or yogurt!

 

How should I store Nourishmeal?

Store Nourishmeal in a cool, dry place like your pantry or cupboard. It does not need to be refrigerated before opening. Once you've prepared a serving, consume it immediately for best taste and texture. If you have unopened packets, keep them sealed in their original packaging away from heat and moisture. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or near the stove, as heat can affect quality.

What does "social enterprise" mean?

A social enterprise is a business that exists to create positive social impact, not just profit. At Nourishmeal, we believe that what you eat affects how you feel, and we are inspired by the emerging evidence that suggests that mental health and metabolic health are closely related. Every purchase supports mental health and nutrition programs here in Nova Scotia. When you buy Nourishmeal, you're not just getting a healthy breakfast, you're contributing to better mental health and nutrition support in our local community. It's breakfast with purpose.

 

Does Nourishmeal contain any allergens?

Yes, Nourishmeal contains tree nuts, seeds and fish collagen. Although there are no grains in the ingredients, it is made in a facility that processes gluten-containing products and peanuts, so may contain trace amounts of gluten and peanuts.  

Nourishmeal is free from:

  • Dairy
  • Eggs
  • Soy

If you have severe nut allergies, Nourishmeal is not suitable for you. We take allergens seriously; if you have specific allergy concerns, please contact us before ordering and we'll provide detailed ingredient information.
