When I shake joylent, there always seems to be a small amount of dry powder remaining in the bottom corners of the shaker, no matter how much I shake. I need to poke it with a fork to get it to mix in. Anything else that would work? (The joylent shaker comes with a small ball whisk to keep inside, which might help a bit but doesn't solve the problem.)
Immediate edit: oh! I should try putting in a small amount of water before the powder. Other suggestions also welcome.
When I used home-made soylent, I first put in (all) the water, then the powder. My shaker also has a plastic grid inset in the lid. Putting in the water first also lets you see exactly how much water you have (transparent measuring cup shaker). I don't remember ever having any problems.
This thread is for asking any questions that might seem obvious, tangential, silly or what-have-you. Don't be shy, everyone has holes in their knowledge, though the fewer and the smaller we can make them, the better.
Please be respectful of other people's admitting ignorance and don't mock them for it, as they're doing a noble thing.
