Seems  like convenience is the way to go nowadays. We live fast paced lives  with busy schedules that don’t leave time for much else. There is a  growing concern over health and fitness and the usage of nutritional  supplements.

Nutrition programs are known for being precise: specific quantities at  specific times which also means prep time before heading out the door  every morning. Depending on your dietary plan you might have more than  one serving a day. For this reason, users of powdered nutritional  supplements need a place to store multiple servings while on the go.

​

The proposal is to design a storage system that allows for an intuitive prep, store, and transport of nutritional shakes.

​

There  is an undeniable need to keep powder supplements separate from liquids  due to health concerns. These supplements usually contain ingredients  that break down, a process that begins when mixed with a liquid and  could be slowed down by refrigerating the mix or keeping it in an  insulated container.

Unrefrigerated on a plastic bottle (most widely used), the mix could  last for around 2 hours. A dead giveaway that the shake is spoiled is a  foul smell that regular users know well. However, the smell is only the  last step in the decomposition process. These shakes are designed to be  mixed up and consumed fairly quickly.

In order to ensure freshness, the product being designed separates both  elements, powder and liquid, and proposes a no-mess no-fuss mechanism to  mix the two.

The  problem of spilling the powdered product was identified at the early  stage of measuring it. So more than the bottle itself, a new proposal  was created to implement a trend where powdered nutritional supplements  are sold in compressed tabs, each tab being a serving size.

​

The  possibilities are now endless and stretch to an even wider public, with  compressed powder tabs available in powdered nutritional supplements,  meal replacement and even medication.

With  this new trend in mind, the bottle was designed with a cavity to hold  the compressed powder tabs isolated from contact with liquid in an  organic and ergonomic shape.

​

When the  tabs are not necessary, the storage compartment and sleeve can be  removed and the bottle can be used solely to carry liquids.
