A nutritional powder composition comprises from about 0.1 to about 3.0 wt % beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), and from about 10 to about 25 wt % of a protein system, based on the weight of the powder composition. The protein system comprises from about 20 to about 60 wt % sodium caseinate, from 0 to about 30 wt % whey protein, from about 5 to about 25 wt % intact soy protein, and from about 15 to about 60 wt % hydrolyzed soy protein, based on the weight of the protein system. All or a portion of the sodium caseinate in the protein system may be replaced with potassium caseinate, and/or all or a portion of the intact soy protein may be replaced with intact pea protein, and/or all or a portion of the hydrolyzed soy protein may be replaced with hydrolyzed pea protein. |
