A method of making a beverage includes adding one or more other ingredients to hydrolyzed protein to form the beverage, which is clear, shelf-stable, and high protein and has a neutral pH and an energy content of at least about 100 kcal per 240 ml of the beverage. Optionally the hydrolyzed protein is obtained by subjecting protein to a protease. In some embodiments, the high protein is at least about 15 g or at least about 20 g of protein/100 kcal, and in some embodiments the energy content is at least about 150 kcal/240 ml or at least about 200 kcal/240 ml. Other aspects are directed to the resultant beverage, a method of producing a high protein beverage containing hydrolyzed protein, a method of increasing transparency in a high protein beverage containing hydrolyzed protein, and a method of providing nutrition to an individual.
A method of making a beverage, the method comprising:
A beverage that has an absorbance of 0.35 or lower at a wavelength of 600 nm measured using an ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer, shelf-stability, about 15 g to about 25 g protein/100 kcal of the beverage, and a neutral pH, wherein the protein comprises hydrolyzed protein that is at least 50 wt. % of the protein in the beverage, and the beverage has an energy content of about 200 kcal to about 360 kcal per 240 ml of the beverage.
A method of making a beverage, the method comprising adding one or more other ingredients to hydrolyzed protein to form the beverage, which has an absorbance of 0.35 or lower at a wavelength of 600 nm measured using an ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer, shelf-stability, about 15 g to about 25 g protein/100 kcal of the beverage, a neutral pH and an energy content of about 200 kcal to about 360 kcal per 240 ml of the beverage,
