Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a system and method for using a beverage dispensing machine. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method for using a supplement beverage dispensing machine.

In addition to proper exercise, managing the intake consumption of an individual is important to healthy living. Specifically, the consumption of protein and supplements may promote the muscle growth to achieve the desired effect. Proteins needed for such growth may come from different types of food. However, individuals may opt to consume the proteins and other supplements in shakes and drinks. Typically, these proteins and other supplements are packaged as a powder that an individual may easily incorporate in their supplement drinks. The powder form of the proteins may be packaged in large containers or bags that need proper storage to avoid going stale. Additionally, these containers are not convenient for transporting. Thus, individuals which do not prepare their supplement drink with the protein powder, will be unable to consume the proteins immediately following their workout, which is the optimal time which to consume them. Moreover, if the individual is unable to properly store the protein powder or finish the protein in the suggested time following the opening of the containers or bags, the powders may expire. With the high cost of such proteins or supplements, the costs endured may be high.

What is needed is a system and method for using a supplement beverage dispensing machine that provide users with a supplement beverage mixing and dispensing machine for use to quickly obtain a protein-based beverage or other supplement drink for consumption.
