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.
Personally I’m more interested in knowing how much powder I have than how much water. (Though I’m not sure how accurate I can really be based on the volume markings—weight would be more accurate, but also a hassle.)
A small amount of water seems to work, though it does increase uncertainty in powder volume a bit.
I used a measuring cup (iirc 75ml) for the powder. My typical meal would be three cups of powder and 300ml water. It’s quite thick that way, my friend used more water.
