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.

7 . The method 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.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein collecting information associated with a user's workout routine or physical activity includes collecting the information from input provided by the user to the automated beverage machine.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein collecting information associated with a user's workout routine or physical activity includes collecting the information from a mobile device associated with the user.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein collecting information associated with a user's workout routine or physical activity includes collecting the information from wearable device that monitors activities performed by the user.

11 . 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.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the automated beverage machine snakes beverages from beverage pods provided to the automated beverage machine.

13 . The system of claim 11 , 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.

14 . The system of claim 11 , 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.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein making a beverage having ingredients based on the one or more beverage profiles includes making a smoothie having the beverage profile.

16 . The system of claim 11 , 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.

17 . The system of claim 11 , 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.

18 . The system of claim 11 , 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.

61 . A method performed by a server, h method comprising:

receiving, via an application programming interface (API) provided by the server, a request for a smoothie from a smoothie making entity associated with a user,

wherein the request includes wellness goal information and daily consumption data for the user;

determining a nutritional profile for the user that is based on the wellness goal information associated with the user and the daily consumption data of the user; and

sending the nutritional profile to the smoothie making entity, which makes a pod-based smoothie having the determined nutritional profile.

62 . The method of claim 61 , wherein the smoothie making entity is part of a restaurant that communicates with the API using an online ordering system of the restaurant.

63 . The method of claim 61 , wherein the smoothie making entity is part of an online diet or health program that includes the user as a member of one or more programs or services provided by the online diet or health program.
