The bottle says to add 2 scoops but I think it makes it way too strong and it doesn't seem to mix well. Should I use only 1 scoop with water or milk?

I use water. If I want more calories I use milk. Add more water to make it less thick. I sometimes add 1/2 banana and water.

I use 2 scoops in 8 oz of water and I use a Magic Bullet to blend it. It really needs a blender to mix properly. It's almost like a shake after 30 seconds. If you don't like it that thick, you should add a little more water to get the consistency you like. I like the feel of a milkshake consistency. I wouldn't lessen the amount of powder as you won't get the full nutrition.

I fund when I tried to add only one scoop, the consistency of the shake turned too icey and is did not have a good flavor.

Hmm... I don't feel like it makes it too strong. I use 2 scoops to 8oz of water. milk would certainly make it creamier, but also more caloric. I sometimes sub 1 scoop for frozen strawberries. So I scoop, 8oz of water, add frozen fruit.

Yes, 2 scoops is way to much. I use water because I don't drink milk. I use one scoop, water. A few ice cubes and half a banana. I also use a stick blender to mix it. Just shaking it doesn't seem to be enough.

Hi Barbara. I use it in my french press and do a scoop (as per the press) per 6-8 ounces, as it can be strong. Make a pot and you'll be able to tell if you want to use more or less. Hope that helps a little. :)

Mix the dry milk with a little water (1 tablespoon or so of water) first. Keep adding water to mix in proportion to the amount of dry milk you use.

I use 4 drops per 2 cups of milk which make the bottle last a few months for me. Can also be used in cream sauces that use milk. Less expensive than buying a half gallon of lactaid.

Sure! I'm doing 1/2 & 1/2 with whole milk as we are weening. Just make up your 1/2 formula (less than 1/2 of what the pitcher can hold) and then add your 1/2 BM. Give it a few pumps to mix and you should be good to go.

I never tried mixing with water. It depends on individual taste. Try with a little water; if you don't like it dump it. I blend a scoop and a half in fat-free, lactose-free milk with a banana and seasonal berries (there is always some kind of berries available in the market) to make a 16-18 oz protein shake. There is my breakfast. It'll take me through till lunch. Instead of milk, one can blend with fruit juice also. You can try blending in other ingredients. My teenage son blends it in organic rice milk. In addition to fruits, he also blends organic peanut butter in it. I never tried it, although he says it tastes great. Again, it is all individual taste. Hope these suggestions help. I never tried mixing with water. It depends on individual taste. Try with a little water; if you don't like it dump it.

I use 1-2 TB per 8 ounces depending on how strong you want it. Sometimes I like to add a little milk for richness then I might use a little extra mix so it is nice a dark. I like my cocoa strong flavored

I used half a scoop as my shakes were only around 8 oz I prefer shakes that are on the thinner side, 2 of the large scoops in my opinion is too much.

Put the desired amount of room temperature water in your bottle and add the two scoops (for 4 oz. of water) on top. Put the bottle top back on and shake vigorously back and forth. Never had a problem with this dissolving or clumping. It looks like it's clumped when you add it to the water, but shaking vigorously changes that. Hope this helps.

I added a little at a time. I added by the spoonful - stirred, then added more if it wasn't thick enough. I went by the package directions, and it was VERY thick - and got thicker. So you need to add a little at a time and let it stand for a few minutes. I probably added 1/4 cup to one quart - stirred, then added more. Hope this helps!

You can use as much water/milk as you want depending on how you like the flavor, but you should at least use one cup. If you want to delute it you can use more water/milk, but one cup will do!

Serving size is 2 scoops in 8 oz milk or water. If you mix it in water it is 350 calories but I can't drink it in water. I mix it in milk and it is 488 calories.

Well I liked the chocolate the best initially when mixed with just water but this morning I mixed 2 scoops vanilla 8 oz water 4 oz vanilla almond milk and some ice cubes in a mixer bottle and it was much better. If mixed with just 8 oz water it is very thick and frothy with a bad after taste, this mixture seemed to help and I also lost about 5 lbs this week with restricted calories and 45 min walk every other day.

Before you plunge, just add the milk and sugar. I must admit to not adding sugar but it works for the milk

Sorry, haven't done this yet but it sounds like a great idea...mixed with some milk should do the trick.
