Overview

Flavor first

NŌA is a new kind of dessert brand built around a simple belief: high-protein food shouldn't taste like a compromise. Each ice cream mix is crafted for ultra-creamy texture, rich flavor, and real satisfaction — optimized for the Ninja Creami and most standard ice cream makers. The brief was to build a brand that felt indulgent and premium, not functional or clinical.

Identity

Stickers, shirts, and napkins

We led with flavor. The identity system was built around a warm cream and deep espresso base, with each of NŌA's five flavors carrying its own distinct color world. The logo and packaging needed to feel confident on a shelf while staying warm and approachable — something that says 'dessert first.'

Vanilla Bean

Decadent, smooth, and quietly elite. This is vanilla done right. Creamy, balanced, and endlessly flexible, whether you enjoy it solo or turn it into your own high-protein creation with mix-ins.

Caramel Latte

Coffee shop indulgence, frozen. Creamy espresso notes meet buttery caramel for a scoop that feels bold, smooth, and a little bit grown. Perfect for high-protein dessert people who also love a coffee twist.

Strawberries & Cream

Sweet strawberry and smooth cream blend together for a high-protein dessert that feels fresh, nostalgic, and always delicious. Light, creamy, and exactly the kind of dessert you’ll keep coming back to.

Snickerdoodle

Cinnamon-kissed, softly sweet, and cozy in the best way. It tastes like cookie-dough energy with ice-cream vibes, spinning into a high-protein dessert that feels familiar, comforting, and the perfect sweet fix.

Chocolate Fudge

Rich, chocolatey, and unapologetically smooth. This is the kind of high-protein dessert that feels indulgent without being heavy and works just as well for a weeknight scoop as it does for a late-night craving.
