Drink Mix FAQ
The world of drink mixes is diverse and exciting, ranging from instant coffee and tea to flavorful drink powders for cocktails, shakes, and even protein drinks. The most common issue people have when using drink mixes is getting the right balance of flavor, especially when they're trying to replicate a particular taste. They also wonder how to adapt these mixes for various dietary needs, such as sugar-free or vegan diets. The key to getting the most out of drink mixes is to adjust according to your preference and health requirements. For instance, you may use plant-based milk in a drink mix to make it suitable for vegans. Which liquid to mix the drink with can completely change the taste of the beverage, so experiment with different options like milk, water, soda, or tonic water. An interesting hack when using drink mixes is to use them in baking or cooking. They can add unique flavors to dishes and it's definitely something to try out. Here's a great tip for health aficionados - if you're using a protein shake mix, you can add oats, yogurt or a banana to enhance its nutritional value and keep you fuller for longer.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does drink mix expire?
Unopened drink mix typically lasts for about 2-3 years past the date printed on the package. However, once opened, it's best to consume it within 6-12 months. It can extend beyond this if stored properly, but there may be a decrease in flavor quality. Freezing the drink mix is unusual but possible, and can extend its life indefinitely, but may alter the texture or flavor over time.
How do you tell if drink mix is bad?
You can often tell if drink mix has gone bad by checking its appearance, smell, or taste. If it has clumps, discoloration, or an off smell, it's probably past its prime. Also, if it tastes stale or less flavorful than usual, that’s another sign it's time to toss it.
Tips for storing drink mix to extend shelf life
• Keep the drink mix in a cool, dry place like a pantry or cupboard, out of direct sunlight. • Use airtight containers or resealable bags for opened packages to prevent exposure to air and moisture. • Be sure to completely seal the container or bag every time after using. • Do not use any wet spoons or measuring cups in the mix, as this can introduce moisture to the package. • If you choose to freeze the mix, divide it into small portions before freezing it to avoid moisture introduction when defrosting.
