One thing that's surprisingly not mentioned at all in their FAQ is the actual process of preparing the stuff. Do you have to use a blender or can you get away with just stirring it up with a spoon?

The powder ships with an instruction manual in each box. They recommend a blender for smoother consistency. My first night testing it out I tried one pitcher using a blender and one shaken by hand. The next morning, the pitcher that was mixed with a blender has less fat separation. We now mix individual servings in protein shakers instead of a blender or the larger pitcher. The smoothness is close to the blender pitcher.

With the previous version it was simply mixing about 1.5L of water with a bag of powder, shaking vigorously, then adding oil and about .5L of water, and finally shaking and cooling. Now the step with the oil is out, and it's a just add water and shake.

I dont think a spoon would be adequate. It's just a little too fine and clumps easily. They supply a pitcher if you subscribe (or used to) and recommend making it in the pitcher and shaking vigorously. I use an immersion blender usually. Additionally, I prefer it cold, so (if I'm not making a batch in advance) being able to throw some ice in with the blender to make a 'smoothie' is far more satisfying than going room temp.

I've been using a blender for awhile now. I found that just dumping it all in the pitcher and shaking was a PITA. It always clumped to the sides and bottom. Now I put about half the required water in my blender, turn it on and slowly pour the powder/oil into the whirling water. Then I dump that into my pitcher. I rinse the sides of the blender with some water that I then dump into my pitcher. I top off the pitcher as needed. A little bit of shaking then finishes mixing the newly added water with the blended slurry. It has been working out pretty well for me. I am curious to see how the 1.4 mixes. My subscription really out paced me so I have about 35-40 pouches of 1.3 to get through before I get to the 1.4 box.

I don't recommend using the pitcher. I got bored with that process after a couple days. I usually make shakes with a blender. If I'm on the go heading to the gym, I will toss it in my Blender Bottle and just mix it with protein powder in there.
