{"title":"Ready to Drink","description":"\u003cp\u003eSkip the measuring and mixing with ready to drink options. Choose a premixed drink that fits your preferences, whether you're packing your gym bag, heading to work or looking for a convenient drink while out and about. Compare the label, flavour and pack size before choosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat does ready to drink mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReady to drink, often shortened to RTD, means a beverage is supplied already mixed rather than as a powder or concentrate that needs water added. Follow the label's serving instructions, including any directions to shake before opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do you choose an RTD drink?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the type of drink and its ingredients, not just its name. Check the nutrition panel for protein, carbohydrates, sugars and energy where relevant. Compare values per 100mL as well as per serving, because bottle and can sizes can differ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDo all ready to drink products contain protein?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. RTD describes the format, not the nutritional content. If you're looking for a ready to drink protein shake, check the amount of protein in the individual drink rather than assuming every premixed beverage provides it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes ready to drink mean caffeine-free?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Check the ingredients, caffeine information and product warnings before choosing a drink. The RTD format alone does not tell you whether it contains caffeine or other added ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSingle drinks or multipacks?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck whether the listed option is a single bottle or can, or a pack containing several drinks. Compare the total quantity and price per drink when considering value, and confirm the selected flavour before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDo RTD drinks need refrigeration?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorage requirements vary by product. Follow the label's instructions before and after opening, including any refrigeration directions and recommended time for consuming an opened drink. Check the allergen statement if you have dietary restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/discountedsupplements.com.au\/collections\/ready-to-drink.oembed","provider":"Discounted Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
