Disclosed are nutritional compositions comprising agglomerated and/or co-dried particles comprising a cereal beta-glucan and a resistant starch. The agglomerated and/or co-dried particles improve the cold water solubility of the nutritional compositions. The nutritional compositions may be dryblended powdered nutritional compositions including the agglomerated and/or co-dried particles and optionally a Salacia extract. Se describen las composiciones nutricionales que comprenden las partículas aglomeradas y/o cosecadas que comprenden un beta-glucano de cereal y un almidón resistente. Las partículas aglomeradas y/o cosecadas mejoran la solubilidad en agua fría de las composiciones nutricionales. Las composiciones nutricionales pueden ser composiciones nutricionales pulverizadas mezcladas en seco que incluyen las partículas aglomeradas y/o cosecadas y opcionalmente un extracto de Salacia.
