Claim 9:
10. A process for preparing a heat sterilized spoonable nutritional composition comprising a protein source in an amount of 12 to 20% by weight of the heat sterilized spoonable nutritional composition, the protein source comprising whey protein containing whey protein micelles and casein, the process comprising:
(i) providing an aqueous solution of a first protein source comprising the whey protein containing the whey protein micelles;
(ii) adding a second protein source containing casein into the aqueous solution of the first protein source; and
(iii) performing an indirect ultra-high temperature (UHT) heat treatment step;
wherein the heat sterilized spoonable nutritional composition comprises greater than 0 mg of monovalent metal ions/g of the protein source to 40 mg of monovalent metal ions/g of the protein source, is a liquid or semi-liquid composition and has a viscosity of between 700 and 4000 mPa·s at 20° C. measured at a shear rate of 100 s−1.
