Abstract

A method of making a stable liquid nutritional product is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming a protein solution, a carbohydrate solution, and an oil blend, adding a small amount of a nutritional ingredient containing soy polysaccharide as a source of dietary fiber to one of these, combining appropriate quantities of these solutions, and heat processing and microfluidizing the combined solution. The amount of the nutritional ingredient containing soy polysaccharide as a source of dietary fiber is preferably less than 6,500 ppm, and is most preferably between 3,000 and 6,000 ppm of the final product.
