Tips for better taste and flavor

Not quite loving the taste? Don't give up yet! Our Protein Hydrator is highly customizable, and small adjustments can make a big difference. Top Tips from Our Customers: 1. Add More Water If the flavor is too strong or intense, try using 20-32 oz of water instead of the standard amount. This creates a lighter, more refreshing drink. It also makes the consistency thinner, which many people enjoy. 2. Add Ice After Mixing This is our #1 tip! Adding ice after you mix significantly enhances the flavor. About 80% of customers who try this say it completely transforms their experience. 3. Try Warm Water First Mix with warm water initially, then add ice. This helps the powder dissolve better and can improve both texture and taste. 4. Adjust to Your Sweet Preference - Finding it too sweet? Add more water - Not sweet enough? Use less water 5. Experiment with Different Flavors Everyone's taste buds are different. If one flavor isn't working for you, try swapping to another in your subscription portal. 6. Give It Time Sometimes taste preferences adjust over a few days. Try it for 3-4 days with these tips before deciding. Popular Flavor Notes: Our flavors are designed to be refreshing and light. If you're used to thicker, creamier protein shakes, the Protein Hydrator will taste different - it's meant to be more like a hydrating sports drink with protein benefits. Still Not for You? We want you to love your Jive! If you've tried these tips and it's still not working, contact us. We can suggest alternative flavors or process a return under our 30-day guarantee.
