Abstract: According to embodiments, a beverage composition for human, animal, or other organism consumption includes water and protein in an amount of about 6 to about 40 grams per liter. The beverage composition has a pH of about 4.6 to about 11.0, and the beverage composition has a viscosity of about 1 to about 25 milliPascals at 5 degrees Celsius and shear rate of 100 s?1. The beverage composition is substantially free of a sweetener, a food acid, a flavoring agent, a de-foaming agent, or a combination thereof. The beverage composition is optically clear as measured by a turbidity of about 0.0001 to about 25 NTU as measured by ISO 7027-1:2016 test method.
