The Forgotten Bottle...


So, if you are like me you get your workout in, have a protein shake and then head out for the day. Then after a long day you realize you left your bottle closed up in the car or in your desk. Just the thought of it makes my nose cringe. Instead of throwing that bottle away or tolerating the sour milk taste there is something that you can do to make your bottle as fresh as it was when it was new!

You only need water, baking soda and white vinegar. Fill your smelly bottle up about 1/4 of the way and then add 2 or 3 tablespoons of baking soda. Swirl this around and then add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the white vinegar (do this in the sink, remember science class?!) the bottle will foam up, then put the cap on and swirl, again, science!

Open the cap slowly to release pressure and then swirl and rinse. Your bottle will be good as new! You may have to repeat for bottles that have been sitting for a long time but this beats buying a new bottle every time you forget to rinse it out!
