Sorry--I mistyped--it should be about one-eighth teaspoon Crystal Light, especially if you use the Strawberry Kiwi flavor (the "energy" strawberry flavor is not as strong). Osmolite was really designed for tube feeding. It's only if you're using it orally that flavor is an issue. The manufacturer used to make its own flavoring for this purpose. Even then, though, the "Vari-flavors" were so tasteless that I had to spike them with some Crystal Light. When the manufacturer stopped producing these flavor packets, it was kind of a crisis, because Osmolite really is undrinkable as is. My doctor recommended Crystal Light, but I found it didn't have the right consistency, which is why I came to use a tablespoon of Nesquik as a base, much like the old manufacturer's powder, and then one-eighth teaspoon Crystal Light for the flavor enhancement. Without the combination, varying the amounts, you wind up with something tasteless, or a chalky consistency, or too strong a flavor. Both Nesquik and Crystal Light obviously make the Osmolite less neutral, but it's still as close to elemental as you can get, more so than Ensure or other supplements. Again, my gastroenterologist recommended Crystal Light, and it's just an eighth of a teaspoon.
