Making The Perfect Blended Drink        
        Avoid cakey, unwanted powder in the blender bowl by following these simple rules.
- Add your liquid to the blender first.
 
- Add the powder next.  This gives the powder a chance to hydrate in the liquid.  If the powder is added to the top of the ice, it does not have a chance to hydrate and it gets thrown to the sides of the blender in the processing.
 
- Add the right kind of ice.  The ice quality will make a difference in the finished products consistency.
 
- Blend for the correct amount of time.  Don’t stop the blender too early.
