The present invention relates to a nutritional formulation of yoghurt type, a cream, a dessert cream, an iced dessert or sorbet and a cheese and containing a pea protein isolate, characterized in that the pea protein isolate: contains between 0.5 and 2% of free amino acids, has a viscosity: from 13 to 1610.sup.3 Pa.Math.s. at a shear rate of 10 s.sup.1, from 10 to 1410.sup.3 Pa.Math.s. at shear rate of 40 s.sup.1, and from 9.8 to 1410.sup.3 Pa.Math.s. at a shear rate of 600 s.sup.1, has a solubility: from 30 to 40% in pH zones from 4 to 5 from 40 to 70% in pH zones from 6 to 8. The invention also relates to the use of this nutritional formulation as a single protein source or as a food supplement, intended for infants, children and/or adults.

The present disclosure provides for a high-protein, powdered food composition that can be reconstituted into a creamy, yogurt-like, or smoothie-style food having optional inclusions and that delivers the taste, organoleptic characteristics, mouthfeel, and nutritional benefits of conventional ready-to-eat cereal products. In one approach, the food composition or powdered food composition includes a synergistic combination of two or three distinct whey protein powders.

A coffee product is produced in the form of an effervescent tablet, typically in the shape of roasted coffee beans. The end-product, once the tablet is added to water, is an instant coffee having the aroma, flavor and taste of freshly brewed coffee, such as Arabica or Robusta coffee. The product will appeal to all sensesauditory, olfactory and have the visual effects of an effervescent tablet that can be made hot or cold. The product is convenient, easily accessible and done without the use of any machinery, apparatus or even electricity. This coffee product will create a new culture in the way people drink coffee nationally and globally.
