This invention is directed to a suspension stable protein containing acid
beverage composition, comprising;
(A) at least one protein material,
(B) at least one flavoring material,
(C) at least one sweetener,
(D) at least one food grade acid, and
(E) water;
wherein the suspension stable protein containing acid beverage composition
is free of a stabilizing agent, has a pH of from 3.0 to 3.7, and
wherein for a 3 gram protein per 8 ounce composition has a viscosity at
25.degree. C. of from 2 to 3 centipoise, less than 3% sediment and less
than 1% serum, or
wherein for a 6.5 gram protein per 8 ounce composition has a viscosity at
25.degree. C. of from 3 to 5 centipoise, less than 5% sediment and less
than 1% serum, or
wherein for a 11 gram protein per 8 ounce composition has a viscosity at
25.degree. C. of from 4 to 6 centipoise, less than 10% sediment and less
than 1% serum.
