The Founders' Mix Guide
From Jon & Mike's kitchens to yours — there's no wrong way to drink Moodivate, but after 31 versions and a couple thousand pouches, we have opinions. Here's exactly how our families take it.
Two dads, one blender, zero production budget. Check back.
The 20-second ritual
- Tear. One stick. Mixed berry. That's the whole list of steps.
- Mix. 12–16 oz of COLD water. Shake in a closed bottle — beats stirring every time.
- Feel the shift. About 20 minutes later, the day gets quieter — in the best way.
Dial your strength — make it yours
The Slow Sipper (Jon's pour · mellow): 1 stick in a 20–24 oz bottle of water, nursed over an hour. "I don't like mine strong — smooth and steady does it."
The Classic (the standard): 1 stick in 12–16 oz of cold water. The way the label draws it up. Clean lift, soft landing.
The Shot (Mike's pour · strong): 1 stick in a few ounces of water or juice. Down it and go. Mike takes it strong — we've stopped arguing about it.
Our rhythms — find yours
Mike: before every workout. More intense focus, more energy — he swears they're the best workouts of his life. Runners and athletes: try it 20–30 minutes before a race or game.
Kassie: the split. Mike's wife splits one stick — half in the morning, half in the early afternoon. Steady coverage, no big peak.
Jenny: the big days. Jon's wife doesn't take it daily — she saves it for the days that ask a lot. It works both ways.
Most of our regulars: daily. The mood and calm benefits build with consistency — our longest subscribers say week three is when it really clicks.
Four ways we actually drink it
🥤 The Smoothie Lift: blend a stick into a fruit smoothie — homemade or from your favorite smoothie place. (Jon's order: added to a Smoothie King berry smoothie.) The berry flavor disappears right into it.
🍹 The Sparkler: stick + 12 oz cold sparkling water + a squeeze of lime over ice. Tastes like a mocktail, works like a Tuesday-afternoon rescue.
🧃 The Juice Kick: a stick in a small glass of juice — orange and apple both work. Sweeter, stronger, faster.
💧 The All-Morning Bottle: one stick, one big 24 oz bottle, sipped from desk time to lunch. The gentlest way in — and you hydrate all morning without thinking about it.
Little things that make it better
- Cold water, always. It mixes cleaner and tastes brighter.
- Shake, don't stir. Closed bottle, five seconds, done.
- Anchor it to a habit — the coffee maker, the gym bag, the lunchbox — so you never forget a day.
- One stick at a time is the sweet spot. More isn't better.
- Caffeine-sensitive? Start with half a stick and find your dose. And keep it before ~3pm if you guard your sleep.
- Give it three weeks. The lift is same-day; the rhythm builds with consistency.
- Share a stick. Word of mouth built this company.
