Dear Quealers,
I would like to share with you something that made my life much easier.
One day I became tired of washing my shaker. Especially it was hard to do while traveling.
I had seen powders of other brands packed in bottles and I liked that idea. I tried it with Steady and it worked.
You will need:
• 500/750/1000 ml bottles
• Paper stickers
• Sandwich bags
• Silicone funnel with neck diameter of 2.5 cm (preferred) or plastic funnel with 2 cm
• Spoon
• Permanent marker
• Digital pocket or kitchen scale (optional)
• Alcohol 96% (optional)
The below tables show proportions and values.
Pressed scoops
Overfill the scoop inside the bag and use your other hand to compress the powder into the scoop by touching the side of the bag from the outside. Do it only once because completely pressed powder in scoops is overdosed.
Unpressed scoops
Overfill the scoop and remove the protruding tip by the dull side of knife.
Extra ml
Partly filled scoops. See the scoop scale.
20% (5 equal meals per day)
Recommended interval between meals of that size:
2-3 h.
25% (4 equal meals per day)
Recommended interval between meals of that size:
3-4 h.
33% (3 equal meals per day)
Recommended interval between meals of that size:
5-6 h.
Last meal is recommended to be consumed minimum 3 h. before going to bed.
Suggestion:
You can set up alarm clock on your phone in order not to miss any meal.
You can change proportions and adjust meal size, but don't put too much powder and don't fill the bottle with water till the top.
After adding water, shake well for 45 s. If a small part of the powder remains stuck to the bottom, flip the bottle upside down, press that area and reshake.
Bottles
The cheapest option is to reuse water bottles. The bottom must have no corners. Wider bottles are preferred.
Bottles are drying for 1-2 weeks. Before leaving to dry, flip bottles upside down and shake out drops by couple of sharp movements down. You can speed up drying by washing bottles with alcohol 96% and they will dry during the day. You can use the same alcohol many times.
You can check if any drops remained in bottle by turning it to light source.
To save space you can store bottles in bags while drying.
Preparation
• Put stickers on bottles to recognize the flavours.
• Merge the powder to single servings in sandwich bags.
For complete accuracy use digital pocket or kitchen scale.
• Transfer powder to bottles with spoon.
Be careful of an empty bottle with funnel on, it easily can fall. If you put too much powder at once and it stuck in the funnel, just knock the funnel to the bottle or the bottle itself.
• After screwing the caps, blow bottles by mouth or fan to remove powder particles.
• After filling the first bottle, mark the water line, so you can fill the bottles directly.
This process takes 1 hour for each bag (single day value). Powder-filled bottles can be stored for long time, so you can pack your weekly or monthly value at once.
Please recycle the bottles
