4. Picky Eater Tips:
Consistency: Start with a small amount and gradually keep adding more and more IQed Even if it takes a few days or weeks, keep trying.
Change Up The Utensils: Sometimes seeing a spoonful of food can be scary to a child. Maybe try a medicine dropper, a syringe, or search for fun utensils with your child's favorite cartoon characters.
Distraction: Some may say TV meals are not a good idea, but if your child is allowed to watch a favorite show or movie while eating, the distraction may be just what is needed to get the food in without a fuss.
Don't force: Eliminate the power struggle. Respect your child's appetite or lack of one. Serve only a little bit, and let your child ask for more.
Little helper: Ask your child to help you pick out healthy food at the store, help you prepare the meal, or set the table.
Hidden nutrition: Purify vegetables to add to spaghetti sauce, also mix in IQed to cooked foods once lukewarm, or serve your child an IQedTM cookie or other goodies.
Shake It Up: A full nutritious meal in a shake is possible with IQedTM! There are so many fun and yummy shakes you can make with IQedTM For example, try a chocolate peanut butter cup smoothie. Mix chocolate IQedTM, a tablespoon of peanut butter, some chocolate almond milk and blend.
Get Creative: Cut food into fun shapes, use cookie cutters, search kid-friendly Bento ideas.

5. Where Is The Scoop?:
Use a butter knife and you’ll find the scoop in IQed. Some people tap the canister upside down before opening to bring the scoop up to the top.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. How To Mix IQed:
Protein powders, including those comprised of natural whey isolate protein as IQed is, do not break down easily in liquid even with the advancements in production.
This is why typically if you look at the area of any health food store that sells protein powders they'll typically have nearby shaker cups or blender ball cups.
Most find the shaker cups to be the quickest and easiest way to shake up your IQed drink. Also, these shaker cups are great for travel as all you need is IQed and water to have a healthy complete meal whenever you want.
You can also blend protein powders into smoothies using an ordinary blender or a Nutrabullet/Ninja.
IQed doesn't have to be served as a drink and can be mixed into any food or made into recipes too. Here are serving suggestions and recipes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Water:
There is no special amount of hydration needed just for IQed. The amount of liquid recommended daily is for healthy hydration whether consuming IQed or not. The reason normal hydration is recommended however is for regular elimination as whey will naturally help the body to rid itself of toxins. To figure that amount out one of the suggestions is to multiply your child’s weight by 0.6 to get a rough estimate of how much liquid your child should consume per day. A simpler method is to take body weight, divide in half and that is the approximate amount of ounces of liquid one should consume a day. Please note: liquid is not just water, and is found in many foods as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Elimination:
The whey isolate protein and many of the ayurvedic foods in IQed play a very important role in naturally raising the antioxidant glutathione which naturally and gently chelate and nourish the body. In addition, IQed contains soluble fiber which also helps healthy elimination.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE NORMAL STOOLS?
Researchers at the Bristol Royal Infirmary—a hospital in Bristol, England—developed a visual guide for stools. It is called the Bristol Stool Form Scale, or BSF scale for short. See the Bristol Stool Form Scale and learn more about what is a “normal stool”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Fish Oil:
IQed does contain Omega 3s, however, we are working on ways to raise the level of the Omega 3s EPA and DHA without it tasting and smelling fishy once mixed into liquid or food or used in a recipe. For this reason, if you are using fish oils such as the NN ProEFA 369 and NN ProEPA, you can continue to serve them along with IQed. We advise serving them separate and not mixing them together due to the fishy smell and taste of the fish oils.
