Ingredients and Preparation

AV8 Freeze-Dried Meals

Made with carefully selected ingredients and a precise preparation process designed to preserve nutrition, flavour and quality.
Ingredients

Chicken breast, penne (durum wheat semolina, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), bell peppers (red, yellow, green), zucchini, basil pesto (canola oil, basil, parsley, garlic, water, cheese (milk, modified milk ingredients, bacterial culture, salt, lipase, calcium chloride, rennet and/or microbial enzyme, cellulose), Parmesan flavour (natural), salt, citric acid, potassium sorbate), onion, lemon juice, canola oil, salt, all-purpose Greek seasoning (dehydrated vegetables (onion, garlic, red bell pepper, tomato), salt, spices, mustard, sugar, citric acid, canola oil, lemon oil, spice extracts), black pepper, garlic paste, dried parsley.

Contains: Wheat, milk, mustard.
Preparation

Designed for flexibility

Enjoy straight from the bag for a crispy crunch, or rehydrate with water.

Dry Mode:
• Remove oxygen absorber
• Enjoy straight from the bag
• Drink water as desired

Rehydrated Mode:
• Empty pouch inside a container
• Remove oxygen absorber and discard, do not eat
• Add approximately 200ml water
• Less water = firmer texture
• More water = softer texture
• Install lid and shake
• Wait 5-8 minutes
• Stir
• Ready to eat
• Consume after opening

/ Repair

Chicken

A source of high-quality complete protein containing all essential amino acids. Protein supports the maintenance of muscle mass, tissue repair, and recovery from physical activity, helping your body perform and recover efficiently.

/ Refuel

Penne Pasta

A source of complex carbohydrates that provides sustained energy to support physical performance, endurance, and daily activity. Carbohydrates are the body's preferred fuel source for both physical and cognitive performance.

/ Protect

Zucchini & Bell Peppers

These nutrient-dense vegetables provide fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants that support overall health and wellbeing. Bell peppers are a source of Vitamin C, which supports normal immune function and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

The AV8 SIX
Nutrition. On Course.

The AV8 SIX highlights essential macronutrients, each supporting the body’s core systems. Together, they ensure structural integrity, steady energy, and metabolic efficiency for reliable performance.

/ Protein

The Airframe

How it works: Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are used to build and maintain muscles, enzymes, hormones, and other tissues.

Benefits: Provides essential nutrients for the growth and maintenance of body tissues.Contributes to normal energy metabolism and tissue function, supporting overall nutrient balance.

/ Calories

The Fuel

How it works: Calories represent the total energy available from macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat). The body converts calories into ATP, the cellular energy currency.

Benefits: Ensures adequate energy for metabolic processes, cognitive function, and physical activity. Prevents energy deficits that impair focus or performance.  

/ Sugars

The Afterburner

How it works: Sugars are simple carbohydrates that break down quickly into glucose, the primary energy source for the brain and high-intensity muscles.

Benefits: Provides immediate energy, and replenishes glycogen during short bursts of activity.  Contributes to energy availability for muscles and brain activity.

/ Saturated Fat

The Long Range Flight

How it works: Saturated fats are triglycerides without double bonds, providing a concentrated source of energy at 9 calories per gram, making them the most energy-dense macronutrient. They also contribute to cell membrane structure and support the synthesis of essential biological compounds, playing a role in overall cellular function and integrity.

Benefits: Provides nutrients that support absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and normal cellular function.  Contributes to energy supply and overall metabolic processes.

/ Sodium

The Electrical System

How it works: Sodium is a critical electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function.

Benefits: Maintains hydration, cardiovascular stability, and neural communication.  Keeps all systems responsive, enhancing endurance, cognitive clarity, and physical control.

/ Carbohydrates

The Jet Engine

How it works: Carbs are broken down into glucose and stored as glycogen in muscles and liver, serving as the main energy source for sustained activity.

Benefits: Contributes to normal energy metabolism and provides nutrients for metabolic processes.  Supports steady energy and availability for muscles and brain function.

Frequently asked questions

What makes AV8 different from other freeze-dried meals?

AV8 was designed around performance nutrition rather than convenience alone. Every meal is built to support three essential functions: Repair, Refuel, and Protect through balanced protein, carbohydrates, and nutrient-rich ingredients.
Is freeze-dried food healthy?

Freeze-drying preserves the vast majority of a food's nutritional value while extending shelf life. It is one of the most effective methods available for preserving real food without refrigeration.
Who is AV8 designed for?

AV8 is built for people with demanding schedules and active lifestyles, including travelers, pilots, shift workers, first responders, outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, and professionals on the move.
How do I prepare an AV8 meal?

Simply snack from the bag add hot water, stir, and allow the meal to rehydrate according to package instructions. *Remove the moisture absorber and discard before preparation or consumption.
How long do AV8 meals last?

Shelf life varies by product and is clearly marked on the package. When stored in a cool, dry environment, freeze-dried meals maintain quality for extended periods.
Do AV8 meals require refrigeration?

No. AV8 meals are shelf-stable and do not require refrigeration until prepared.
Are AV8 meals made from real ingredients?

Yes. Every AV8 meal is built using real ingredients selected to support performance, recovery, and sustained energy.
What does Repair, Refuel, Protect mean?

It's our performance framework.

Repair supports recovery and muscle maintenance through quality protein.

Refuel supports energy and endurance through balanced carbohydrates.

Protect supports overall wellbeing through nutrient-dense ingredients rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
