You are making a real food drink with real food, so it might take a tiny bit of attention and a few extra seconds, but like anything once you've worked out your system, it will become second nature.
Give the bottle a shake for a few seconds.
If you are preparing the drink for the next day: store in a cool place or the fridge overnight, ideally laying on its side (to avoid the seeds rising and blocking the neck of the bottle).
If you are going straight out for your run:happy days, as long as you continue to move, the seeds shouldn’t block the neck.
It’s ready to drink after 10+ minutes.
You can drink the drink straight away. The seeds will be harder at first and will continue hydrating in your stomach.
Top Tip: If you found yourself really up the trail without a bottle, you can just throw the seeds in your mouth and drink from a clean beck.
