A device for flavoring beverages is disclosed herein. The device includes a spoon having a handle end and a shovel end. Located on the shovel end is a dissolvable composition including a flavor. Printed on the shovel end is indicia, preferably inspirational indicia. In use, a user may place the shovel end of the spoon into a beverage and stir to dissolve the flavor into the beverage. The shovel end may additionally come in variety of shapes and sizes and not limited to a spoon shape. Once the composition is dissolved, the indicia is revealed. Furthermore, the device for flavoring beverages includes inspirational indicia thereon to motivate users of all walks of life. Additionally, the device includes a QR code that may be scanned by a user's mobile device in order to share and create more motivational indicia.

The present disclosure is directed to processed food and/or beverage that includes undenatured type II collagen. The undenatured type II collagen is introduced to the food and/or beverage prior to processing, and at least 30% or more of the undenatured collagen remains undenatured in the after processing the food and/or beverage.

Disclosed is a method for making yogurt products of viscosities from about 50 centipoise to about 200,000 centipoise, the yogurt products having a total protein content of at least about 12 percent, the whey protein in the product being primarily in the undenatured state (at least about 75% undenatured). Also disclosed are products made by the method, such as yogurt drinks comprising at least about 12 percent total protein, wherein at least about 75% of the whey protein is in the undenatured state.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a means for efficiently producing a plant protein concentrate to be utilized in foods, beverages, etc. The present invention also addresses the problem of raising the utility value of plant proteins and contributing to the improvement of quality in existing uses and the discovery of new uses by making it possible to produce a plant protein concentrate having improved physical properties (especially solubility). The yield of plant protein is improved by treating a plant protein raw material such as peas, soybeans, almonds, etc., with a protein deamidase.
