To prepare the drink, measure the recommended amount of powder, usually one scoop or packet, and add it to a specific volume of water, typically 8 to 16 ounces. Stir or shake the mixture until the powder is completely dissolved. It can be consumed before, during, or after physical activity. For best results, ensure the water is cold. Adjust the water amount slightly to achieve your preferred flavor intensity. It is designed for quick and easy preparation.
