Hi:
I propose starting a new thread (this one) to list helpful hints in one place so that they are easier to find.
I'll start.
All-One--Actually doesn't taste bad when mixed with water, but it doesn't taste good either. Adding a packet of Splenda helps immensely. If you let it sit one minute (I timed it), it will start to turn brown. So swill quickly. I also have mixed it with Crystal Lite (lemonade, pink lemonade, raspberry ice) and with some flavors, a packet of Splenda helps. Also add the All-One to the liquid, not the other way around, to avoid disgusting clumps and lumps.
Mixers--Of course you could use the cup the Nutritech folks send and shake the All-One and the desired fluid, or throw it in the blender. I found this battery powered "latte foamer" (whose purpose is to foam the milk in all those cappucinos and lattes you make at home, so they look like Starbucks) at Williams Sonoma for $20.00. Undoubtedly, Linens and Things or Target have similar products, but they probably don't call them "latte foamers." It is about eight inches long and comes in a plastic tube, so it can go on the road with you easily. It even makes a bit of foam at the top so that with a bit of imagination (and the Splenda) you can imagine that the All-One is a delicious smoothie!
Pill Boxes--Walgreens carries the Dividose-- a 4 box by 7 box pill container that makes it quite easy to organize a week's worth of pills. It's a bit much to lug around though.
Supps on Vacation--I just returned from three weeks away, and organized my supps for travel this way: Each dose went into a coin envelope and all five doses fit into a business envelope or a small manila envelope. Obviously label each coin envelope with the day, date and time and the business envelope with the day and date. A large manila envelope holds about 4 daily business envelopes. So, I traveled with six large manila envelopes with all the pills tucked in their own envelopes inside. Much easier, I thought, than travelling with the pill box (which sometimes snaps open), and only holds a week's worth of supps anyway. I also didn't like the idea of lugging the bottles and the instructions, and daily remembering to count out the right pills at the right time. This method of daily organization would be helpful to take to work instead of a pill box.
Okay, whose next? Ellen
