To provide a beverage in which deposition of a bacterial cell and/or a bacterial cell processed product is inhibited.SOLUTION: The beverage is beverage containing no protein derived from milk, a bacterial cell and/or a bacterial cell processed product, and soybean polysaccharide, and satisfying following formulae 1 to 3. Formula 1: 0.001 mass%≤(content of the bacterial cell and/or the bacterial cell processed product)(mass%)≤0.22 mass%. Formula 2: 0.0001 mass%≤soybean polysaccharide content (mass%)≤1 mass%. Formula 3: 0.1≤{soybean polysaccharide content (mass%)/(content of the bacterial cell and/or the bacterial cell processed product)(mass%)}.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】菌体および／または菌体処理物の沈殿が抑制された飲料を提供する。【解決手段】飲料は、乳由来のタンパク質を含有しない飲料であって、菌体および／または菌体処理物と、大豆多糖類と、を含有し、以下の式１～３を満たす。式１：０．００１質量％≦（菌体および／または菌体処理物の含有量）（質量％）≦０．２２質量％ 式２：０．０００１質量％≦大豆多糖類含有量（質量％）≦１質量％ 式３：０．１≦｛大豆多糖類含有量（質量％）／（菌体および／または菌体処理物の含有量）（質量％）｝【選択図】なし
