About this project
The Problem
Up to 50% of people do not meet their fitness goals because of the hassles of consuming protein.
The Solution
The Ez Protein Machine was created so that it would be easier to consume protein and eliminate the hassles of shaker bottles. Shaker bottles are constantly breaking, spilling, and a pain to clean. Even after shaking for 30-60 seconds, the protein still has clumps and doesn’t taste very good. And, don't you agree, you look completely ridiculous shaking endlessly? The alternative to shaker bottles would be buying pre-mixed protein drinks. However, they’re very expensive, taste poorly, and aren't as nutritious. The Ez Protein Machine is extremely easy to use and is hassle free. Now, you can conveniently take your protein and achieve your fitness goals.
The Ez Protein Machine Features:
• Clump-free protein in 30 seconds
• Option of either an 8oz. or 12oz. drink
• Holds between 3-6 weeks of protein
• Holds 72oz of water
• Capable of using any cup up to nine inches tall
• Has three separate protein containers that can be used for different flavors of pre and post-workout protein

How Much Protein Can be Stored?
The Ez Protein Machine is set up for ultimate convenience to accomodate both pre and post workouts. 2 of the containers hold 556 grams each, and the middle container can hold 257 grams. Depending on the amount of protein you use each workout, you can store 3-6 weeks of powder in those 3 containers.
LCD Functions:
1st) Pick which protein container you wish consume
2nd) Choose 1, 2, or 3 scoops of protein powder
3rd) Choose 8oz. or 12oz.
4th) Enjoy!
Assembled in USA: Goal $50,000
We plan on assembling the units in Pueblo, CO. Pueblo has a long history of manufacturing greatness, often called the Manufacturing Center of the Rockies. Through many design iterations, we have simplied the assembly process, using mostly off the shelf parts, and a one piece circuit board. Initial tooling costs of the remaining parts will be significant.
We feel strongly about building in America, because we will have total control over all aspects of Quality that go into our Ez Protein Machine. We have a strong design and manufacturing team that will help make a great finished product.

Risks and challenges
There will be minor design changes before final production. However, we do not see that as an obstacle to meeting our schedule dates.
There could be supply chain risks if we were to place a large, initial order with our suppliers. However, this is very unlikely because we have intentionally used standard off the shelf parts on the majority of the Ez Protein Machine.
Completing timely Underwriters Labortory (UL) or other Food Safety approvals is another possible risk, although we have people with experience in this area who will help us achieve certifications.
We have done our due diligence and we have a solid team to quickly overcome any issues to accomplish our goals.
