  • NUTRITIONAL POWDER PODS AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20170224000
    Abstract: Nutritional powders pods, generally in individual servings, suitable for use in beverage production machines are presented. The nutritional powder pods comprise pods containing a nutritional powder. The nutritional powder contained in the pods has specific characteristics, such as particle size, particle porosity, and powder density, which results in good reconstitution of the powder when it is reconstituted into a liquid product by a beverage production machine.
