How people cook with it
This drink mix is commonly used by athletes and active individuals to rehydrate and support recovery. It can be consumed during or after workouts.
- Post-workout hydration

- During extended activity
To prepare, measure the recommended amount of powder, usually one serving, and combine it with a specific volume of water, typically 16 ounces. Stir or shake well until the powder is completely dissolved. It is best consumed chilled. For longer workouts, you can prepare a larger batch to sip on throughout the duration of your activity. Adjust the water amount slightly if you prefer a more or less concentrated flavor.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or moisture, which can cause the powder to clump. Properly stored, it will maintain its quality for its intended shelf life.
