Buy Healthy Food, Drinks and Snacks Online in the UAE

Healthy food is a broad category, and on myAster it covers several very different types of products. You will find nutrition shakes and ready-to-drink beverages, honey including graded Manuka honey, sugar-free sweeteners, superfood powders, royal jelly and propolis products, lozenges and everyday snacks.

It helps to be clear about one thing from the start. Whether a product is a good fit for you depends on the person, the portion, the ingredients and the overall diet. This page explains what each format is made for, how to read the labels, and how to compare options before adding anything to your basket.

Explore Healthy Food, Drinks and Snacks by Type and Occasion

Sorting the category by intended use is usually more practical than sorting by health claims.

• Quick nutrition drinks: Ready-to-drink or powdered beverages used when a full meal isn't convenient, such as early mornings, travel days, or after training. Some are general nutrition products, and some are medical nutrition products intended for specific situations.
• Snacks and lozenges: These include portioned options for the office drawer, school bag, or long drives, such as sugar-free gum, mints, bars, and nut-based snacks.
• Honey and sweeteners: These are used to sweeten drinks and food, or as a spread. This group includes everyday honey, graded Manuka honey, and tabletop sweeteners based on stevia and similar ingredients.
• Powders and bee products: Meant to be mixed into water, milk, smoothies, yogurt or porridge.

How to Compare Nutrition Shakes and Health Drinks?

Here are a few things to compare nutrition shakes and health drinks before buying:

1. Serving size: Check whether the numbers on the label refer to the full bottle, a single scoop, or 100ml.
2. Calories per serving: This tells you whether the product is meant to supplement a meal or sit alongside one.
3. Protein content: Useful if the drink is being used around training or during periods of reduced appetite.
4. Sugars: Look at total sugars and added sugars separately, since flavored versions often differ.
5. Allergens: Check the allergen statement for milk, soy, gluten and nuts.
6. Intended age and use: Some products are formulated for adults only, and some are intended for use under medical or dietitian supervision.

Ensure and similar nutrition drinks are often chosen by families managing appetite changes, recovery, or busy schedules. s. Medical nutrition products in particular are best used under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian.

MGO vs UMF: How to Read a Manuka Honey Label

MGO and UMF are two different rating systems used on Manuka honey jars. They measure different things and are not interchangeable. MGO refers to methylglyoxal, a naturally occurring compound measured in milligrams per kilogram of honey. UMF stands for Unique Manuka Factor, a certification managed by the UMF Honey Association in New Zealand. The UMF grading system measures four signature compounds, including MGO, and MGO alone does not convert directly into a UMF rating.

When comparing jars on myAster, look at the rating system used, the number itself, the pack size, the origin statement and the format. Squeezable and sachet formats travel better, while larger jars suit regular home use. Brands such as The True Honey Co. and Puriti sit in this part of the range.

Honey should not be given to children under 1 year old. Honey is still a source of sugar, so it counts toward your daily intake.

Sugar-Free Sweeteners and Snacks: What Does the Label Mean?

"Sugar-free" describes the sugar content of a product. It does not mean the product is calorie-free, and it does not mean unlimited consumption.

Tabletop sweeteners and sugar-free snacks usually rely on non-sugar sweeteners such as stevia, or on sugar alcohols such as xylitol and erythritol. WHO has advised against using non-sugar sweeteners to control body weight or reduce the risk of noncommunicable diseases, a recommendation drawn from a systematic review of long-term outcomes. That does not make these products unsuitable, but it does mean they work best as a swap within a balanced diet rather than as a strategy on their own.

Superfood Powders, Royal Jelly and Propolis Products

Superfood powders are concentrated food powders such as spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass and mixed greens blends, sold to be measured out and mixed into liquid or food. Green Foods is among the listed brands in this format. Royal jelly and propolis appear as capsules, ampoules, syrups and lozenges, with Marnys among the brands stocked.

Use these products as directed on the label, including the stated serving, timing, and storage instructions. Powders are easy to over-scoop when you add them to a smoothie by eye.

Bee-derived products need one extra note. Anyone with a known allergy to bee products, pollen, or a history of asthma or atopy should speak to a doctor or pharmacist first. The same applies if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a medical condition or taking regular medicines.

How to Read Healthy Food and Nutrition Labels?

A short, repeatable check works better than reading every claim on the front of the pack.

• Ingredients order: Ingredients are listed by weight, so the first three tell you most about the product.
• Serving size: Compare products on the same basis, ideally per 100g or 100ml.
• Sugars: Note total sugars and, where shown, added sugars.
• Protein and fiber: Relevant if you are choosing a snack meant to feel more satisfying.
• Allergens: Read the allergen statement in full, including any "may contain" advice.
• Dietary claims: Terms such as vegan, gluten-free or organic describe formulation, not overall nutritional quality.
• Storage and best before: Powders, opened honey and bee products often carry specific storage instructions.
