Customizing beverage profiles for a user

Abstract

Systems and methods for customizing beverage profiles and associated consumption programs, such as customizing smoothie pods to be used in making smoothies and other beverages, are described. For example, the systems and methods may receive or obtain information associated with a user's previous, current, and/or future activities (e.g., workouts or training sessions), a user's sleep activities, a user's current mental acuity or sharpness, a user's health or fitness, and so on, and determine or create a beverage profile for the user based on the information for the user. Further, the systems and methods may communicate and/or facilitate interactions with various online health or wellness programs.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 at least one processor;   at least one data storage device coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions for implementing a method, the method comprising: collecting information associated with a user's workout routine or physical activity;   determining a workout score based on the collected information; matching the workout score to one or more beverage profiles associated with beverages to be consumed by the user; and   making, at an automated beverage machine, a beverage having ingredients based on the one or more beverage profiles.   
     
     
         2 . The system  claim 1 , wherein the automated beverage machine makes beverages from beverage pods provided to the automated beverage machine. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the implemented method further comprises:
 receiving information identifying a health goal for the user;   matching the health goal to the one or more beverage profiles; and   making a beverage having ingredients based on a beverage profile that matches the workout score and the information identifying the health goal for the user.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein matching the workout score to one or more beverage profiles associated with beverages to be consumed by the user includes identifying information stored in a database of the automated beverage machine that represents the one or more beverage profiles associated with the workout score. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein making a beverage having ingredients based on the one or more beverage profiles includes making a smoothie having the beverage profile. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein determining a workout score based on the collected information includes determining a workout score based on a number of calories burned by the user during a completed workout routine or physical activity. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein determining a workout score based on the collected information includes determining a workout score based on a number of calories expected to be burned during an upcoming workout routine or physical activity. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein determining a workout score based on the collected information includes determining a workout score based on one or more activity metrics measured associated with the workout routine or physical activity.
