Both of the Daily Balance formulas suggest that you pour one stick pack into 8 oz of water and stir well. Morning Balance can be taken in the morning with coffee, applesauce, yogurt, or a meal. Fruit juice is not recommended on the Bredesen Protocol due to the concentrated sugar content. Evening Balance should be taken one hour prior to bed. The Bredesen Protocol recommends not eating within three hours of bedtime, so Evening Balance should only be taken with water.
