Your First Scoop
Your First Scoop
Don't mix it like
an energy drink.
It isn't one. A few small details turn your first scoop from "fine" into the version of energy you've been looking for.

The Ritual
Four steps. Twenty seconds. Done right the first time.

Condensation on glass, fresh and clean.
Cold water, 12-24oz
The shorter pour for the bigger lift, the longer pour for an all-day sipper.
Add cold water to your bottle first. 12oz makes a more concentrated lift that arrives faster and feels more bodied. 24oz gives you something you can sip across an hour, with the same ingredients delivering over a longer window.

One level scoop
The scoop in the tub is the dose. No need to round up.
Add one level scoop of the powder. The scoop included in the tub is calibrated to deliver the full dose of every ingredient at the right ratio. Heaping the scoop doesn't make Reboot stronger, it just changes the flavor balance.
Mid-shake bottle with visible
white film/foam on top of liquid.
Highlight the foam - this is the key detail.
Shake well
The white film on top is the formula working.
Cap the bottle, shake firmly for 10-15 seconds. You'll see a white film on the surface as the powder mixes in. That's the plant-based coating around the microencapsulated caffeine doing its job, releasing the caffeine gradually over four hours instead of dumping it into your bloodstream all at once. The film is normal, expected, and means the formula is intact.

Calm, in-progress moment.
Drink and wait
Give it twenty minutes before you decide anything.
Drink it slowly across 5-10 minutes. The ramp starts at about 20 minutes and reaches its full lift by the 40-minute mark. If you're used to canned energy, the absence of a sudden spike will feel different at first. That's the whole point.
What to expect
Pay attention to what doesn't happen.
Most energy drinks announce themselves. You feel the caffeine hit, your heart picks up, the lift is dramatic. Reboot doesn't work like that. The lift arrives gradually enough that you might not notice it until you realize you've been heads-down on something for forty minutes without checking your phone.
The first signs are usually what's missing rather than what's present. No mid-morning fade. No 2pm crash you have to negotiate around. No jitters in your hands. No tightness in your jaw. By the time the lift is fully in, you're already inside the work, not waiting for it to start.
If you're listening for the spike, you'll miss the lift.
