Project Description
This protein shaker is designed to contain a single single-dose protein powder capsule. The shaker can be used as a water bottle and just by pressing the capsule, it breaks and pours the content into the container, allowing you to enjoy protein shakes of the chosen flavor. The challenge of this project lies in the difficulty of breaking the capsule only when the user wishes, so many tests had to be done to achieve the optimal result.

Description of the project
Summary
Ready to go in a protein shake made by compostable pod.
Created to be able to transport this water shake and drink it independently and only convert it into a protein shake when the user wants. For this, a capsule made with compostable material based on corn and other organic elements is pressed and the natural ingredients dissolved in the water preparing a nice and flavored shake.
The first pod-based protein shake, designed for a modern, healthy lifestyle.
Key objectives for sustainability
The product itself is not the Shake but the protein powder and since this is a consumable that is used repeatedly, it was necessary to find a biodegradable or compostable material. A material based on corn and sugar cane was chosen as it was the most suitable for composting processes, avoiding its degradation in the warehouse or during transportation, which would have forced the use of another contaminating flow pack. In this way, all waste is clean and generates the least environmental impact.
Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
At the aesthetic level, a very clean and minimalist product was sought where there is nothing unneeded and with a generous window that allows you to see the product inside in the shape of a slotted hole. This form is repeated both in the window and in the button, which aesthetically unifies the details and aesthetic resources in a coherent way.
The textures, chamfers and color combinations are worked in great detail to make it a visually and tactilely refined product.
Key objectives for inclusion
The product is made with no gender differentiation and all the design process has been done taking into account different races, countries and ages users. Ergonomics was take into account a middle way between men and women creating a unisex product. The manufacturing process is done following the objectives of sustainability and the assembly is made by people with risk of exclusion.
Results in relation to category
Scoop shake contributes to a better sports lifestyle and contributes to generate habits of better feeding.
Also the compostable materials of the pods completes a integral and circular economy around this product and make conciencie throw marketing of the importance to take care of our planet.
How Citizens benefit

The product also contributes to a better future of the planet by the use of natural and compostable materials and the sustainable programs from the company.
Innovative character
To convert a water shaker in a ready to go protein shaker is a great innovation that allow to the user to break the pod when exactly wants. The innovating system was very difficult in terms of engineering to ensure the perfect fall of the content and the waterproof of all the device.
