Mixing and Serving tips for Bio-Clear
Here are tried-and-true methods from families who've found success in serving Clear+ to their loved ones. Clear+ turns purple when mixed! Keep this in mind when choosing foods and beverages.
Best Beverages for color blending
Purple/Dark Juices:
Grape juice - BEST option! Purple on purple, customer favorite
Cran-apple or cranberry juice - Dark red/purple, blends well
Cherry juice - Dark color masks purple
Mixed berry juice - Already purple/dark
Pomegranate juice - Dark and strong flavored
Acai juice - Already purple
Prune juice - Very dark (for older kids)
Berry Smoothies (Purple Expected):
Blueberry smoothies - Purple is natural! Customer success story
Mixed berry smoothies - Purple fits perfectly
Blackberry smoothies - Dark purple expected
Strawberry-blueberry smoothies - Customer favorite!
Acai bowls or smoothies - Already purple
Serving tip for beverages
Use Opaque Containers (Can't See Color):
Stainless steel cups with lids and straws - Customer recommended!
Solid colored sports bottles - Can't see through
Opaque sippy cups - For younger kids
Covered thermos/tumblers - Color completely hidden
Non-transparent water bottles
Best Food Options for mixing
Purple/Dark Foods (Color Fits):
Blueberry yogurt - Purple expected
Mixed berry yogurt - Purple fits naturally
Blackberry or boysenberry yogurt
Grape jelly or jam - Mix and spread on toast
Blueberry applesauce - Purple already there
Berry-flavored pudding
Foods Where Purple Can Be Hidden:
Ketchup - For dipping nuggets, fries - purple mixes into red reasonably well
Peanut butter - Mix thoroughly, purple gets hidden in brown
Chocolate pudding - Dark color helps mask (though may look slightly off)
Nutella or chocolate spread - Dark enough to somewhat hide
Frozen Treats (Purple Expected in Berry Flavors):
- Grape or berry popsicles - Purple is perfect!
- Purple ice cubes - Freeze in grape juice, add to grape juice drinks
- Blueberry frozen yogurt
- Mixed berry smoothie pops
- "Purple power pops" - Make it fun! Kids love purple treats
Best Delivery Methods
- Syringe Method (Can't See Color): Mix Clear+ in 1-2 oz of grape or berry juice. Load into oral medicine syringe. Quick, predictable, color doesn't matter!
- Opaque Straw Cup (Customer Favorite!): Serve in stainless steel cup with lid and straw. Can't see the purple color, can't smell it. Game-changer for many families!
- Dark Juice Boxes: Use grape or berry juice boxes/pouches - can't see inside, familiar format.
- Purple-Friendly Presentation: Embrace the purple! "Purple power smoothie" or "superhero juice" - make it fun and expected.
- Same Container Routine: Use the same opaque cup at same time daily - creates predictability, color doesn't matter.
- Divided Doses: Split into 2-3 smaller servings throughout day in purple-friendly options.
Mixing Tools for Smooth Texture
A Handheld Milk Frother (~$10 Amazon): Essential! Ensures powder mixes completely. Customer favorite!
Other Tools:
Small whisk
Blender for berry smoothies
Shaker bottle
Mixing Techniques
- Add powder slowly - Sprinkle while stirring to avoid clumps
- Use 4-8 oz liquid - Small amounts work best
- Mix thoroughly - Frother works best for smooth consistency
- Choose purple-friendly options - Grape juice, berry smoothies, opaque cups
- Embrace the purple - Make it fun rather than hide it when possible
Color Solutions
If color is a concern:
Use naturally purple/dark beverages - Grape juice, berry smoothies
Use opaque containers - Stainless steel, solid plastic, no see-through
Add lid and straw - Can't see the color inside
Make purple fun - "Purple power drink," "superhero juice," "magic potion"
Stay consistent - Same purple drink daily becomes expected and comfortable
Dark cups help - Purple cups, dark blue cups, black cups
Turn PURPLE into a positive:
"This is your special purple power drink!"
"Superhero juice is always purple!"
"Grape juice makes everything purple - that's how you know it's working!"
Building Acceptance
- Start with naturally purple options: Grape juice or berry smoothies where color makes sense
- Keep it consistent: Same purple drink, same cup, same time = predictability
- Make it routine: Daily purple grape juice becomes normal and expected
- Have backups: Keep 2-3 purple-friendly methods ready
- Embrace the color: Make purple exciting rather than trying to hide it
- Use opaque containers: When color acceptance is difficult
