Troubleshooting
Powder does not dissolve completely
Ensure you are using enough liquid and shaking or blending vigorously. Allow the mixture to sit for a minute or two after initial mixing, then shake/blend again. Using cold liquids can also help.
Shake has a gritty texture
Try blending the shake for a longer period or adding softer ingredients like banana or avocado to the blender. Ensure the powder is fresh and hasn't clumped due to moisture.
Digestive discomfort (bloating or gas)
While designed for easy digestion, some individuals may need a gradual introduction. Start with a smaller serving size (e.g., half a scoop) and increase slowly over several days. Ensure adequate hydration.
Shake tastes chalky or unpleasant
Experiment with different liquid bases (e.g., unsweetened almond milk instead of water) and flavor additions like berries, vanilla extract, or a touch of cinnamon. Ensure the product is within its expiration date.
