The invention relates to the field of nutritional compositions, methods for providing them and uses thereof. More in particular, it relates to ready-to-feed and powdered infant or growing up milk formulas showing desirable gastric digestion properties. Provided is a nutritional composition comprising casein, whey proteins comprising α-lactalbumin (aLAc) and β-lactoglobulin (bLac), and protein-coated fat droplets, wherein (i) the protein content of the composition is 5 to 20% (w/w), preferably 7-16 w %, based on total solids; (ii) the aLac+bLac content is at least 25% (w/w) based on the total protein level; (iii) the fat content is in the range of 10% to 50% (w/w) based on total solids; and (iv) the fat droplets are coated with an average protein load of 2-10 mg/m2 and wherein the weight ratio of casein:(aLac+bLac) on the fat droplets is at least 4 times higher, preferably at least 4.5 times higher, than the weight ratio of casein:whey protein in the total composition.
