Also disclosed are improved methods of makin g nutritional powders by (A) preparing an aqueous liquid containing nutrients and added fiber, wherein at least about 50% by weight of the added fiber is water insoluble; (B) homogenizing the prepared aqueous liquid at a selected homogenization pressure; and (C) spray drying the homogenized liquid to form a nutritional powder, which can be formulated or reconstituted into a nutritional liquid.
