Getting Started
What is Blueshift Nutrition?
We started Blueshift because we knew there had to be a better way to take your supplements than choking down a handful of pills. So we created game-changing drinkable supplements that work great and taste even better. With delicious whole-food ingredients blended into every sip and personal plans to help you reach your personal best, our goal is to make your vitamins a craveable moment for a healthier, more hydrated you.
How do I get started?
Great question. If you already know what formulations you want and/or need, click here to shop all of our blends. If you aren't sure, feel free to contact us for a consult.
Do I have to purchase a Blueshift Bottle to enjoy your pods?
Not at all! While our Wellness Bottle provides an optimal experience for smooth, blended drinks and our Sidekick and Blender Bottles provide convenient pod storage, we've made it easy to enjoy our pods with whatever bottle you have on hand. Did you know our pods are peelable? Just peel and pour your pod contents into 14 oz of cold water, mix well, and enjoy!

Blueshift Formulations & Pods
Can I use your pods without purchasing a Blueshift Bottle?
Absolutely! While our Wellness Bottle provides an optimal experience for smooth, blended drinks and our Sidekick and Blender Bottles provide convenient pod storage, we've made it easy to enjoy our pods with whatever bottle you have on hand. Did you know our pods are peelable? Just peel and pour your pod contents into 14 oz of cold water, mix well, and enjoy!
Is the Wellness Bottle included automatically with a pod purchase?
While the Wellness Bottle is not automatically included with a pod purchase, we often run promotions that make purchasing any of our bottles a great value. The Wellness Bottle is available for purchase separately from our pods and must be added to your cart as a distinct part of your order to be received. Keep in mind, our pods are useable without a Blueshift Bottle, too!
How do I make a drink using my own bottle?
We are happy you asked! We recommend adding 14 oz of cold water to the bottle of your choice. Next, peel back the pod lid, and pour the pod contents into your bottle. Secure the bottle top, shake your bottle for about 10 seconds, and enjoy! For best results, shake intermittently to ensure ingredients don't settle.
What is included in the Favorites Sampler?
Our Favorites Sampler contents rotate every so often based on customer feedback and development of new great blends! Contact us here if you would like to learn more of what its current contents are.
Am I able to purchase a Favorites Sampler, or does it only come with a Blueshift Bottle purchase?
You can absolutely purchase our Favorites Sampler here! No bottle purchase necessary, because our pods can be used with any bottle. Just peel back the seal, empty the contents into 14 oz of cold water, mix well, and enjoy!
Where can I find ingredient and nutritional information for each of your formulations?
Each product details page contains a full list of active ingredients and a link to a complete supplement fact panel (just click the "Nutrition Info" button for the fact panel).
Do your formulations expire?
When you receive your Blueshift Nutrition order, you will find an expiration date on each box of pods.
Do you use organic & natural ingredients?
We use organic & natural ingredients as often as we can. Clicking "Nutrition Info" on each product details page will bring up a complete supplement fact panel, where it's indicated whether ingredients are organic and/or natural.
Are your formulations vegan and/or vegetarian?
At Blueshift, we believe in unique needs and goals, which is why we created formulations for a variety of diets. Each formulation's product details page will indicate if it is vegan or vegetarian. You can also view all of our vegan and vegetarian blends using the "Diet" filter here.
Are your blends keto-friendly?
Most of our formulas have 5 grams or less of total carbohydrates (this information can be found on each formulation's product details page).
Are your formulations plant-based?
We believe in the power of plants and take a plant-based approach to formulating whenever possible. For some formulas (e.g. Omegas), we believe the best approach includes animal-derived ingredients. You can find the total number of plant-based ingredients for a formulation, as well as a full list of ingredients, on every product details page.
What sweetener do you use for your blends?
Our formulations are sweetened with natural, zero-calorie sweeteners, consisting of stevia leaf extract and luo han guo fruit (aka monk fruit).
How many blends do you recommend?
We do not have a recommended minimum or maximum number of pods per day as each individual's supplement needs vary person-to-person and even day-to-day. Most of our customers average 3-4 pods per day, but others take more or less. It's all about personal preference and finding what works best for you! We suggest choosing a supplement program for your specific needs in consultation with your primary care provider, pharmacist, or nutritionist.
Can I use your formulations while pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend speaking with your health professional before using our formulations.
I am on another medication, can I still take your formulations?
Please consult with your healthcare provider for advice.
How do you source the ingredients for your blends?
- Using Proven Ingredients — We strive to use the most bioavailable forms of all ingredients, so that your body can absorb and utilize them faster and easier. We use evidence-based dosing so that you get the benefits without paying for more than you need. And we partner with reputable companies to use clinically tested ingredients that are proven to deliver results.
- Opting for Organics — Organic plants are healthier for you and for the soil they're grown in (4-5).* That's why we choose organic ingredients wherever possible.
- Keeping it Natural — We believe in the power of plants, which is why we complement our active ingredients with whole food sources. It's also why we opt for natural flavoring and never use artificial sweeteners.
Do you follow Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)?
Yes, all of our formulations are produced using GMP.
How are your formulations tested?
We test all of our raw materials for purity, identity, heavy metals, pesticides, microbial and food safety. We also employ strategic testing procedures to ensure our inclusion levels match our labels, so you know you're getting what you paid for. Lastly, we test every formula we produce to ensure it's microbiologically safe for you.
How are your whole food ingredients made into powder?
Unlike traditional drying methods, our fruit and vegetable powders are made with a patented drying process that helps retain the valuable properties of these ingredients. Other drying processes use harsh conditions, like intense heat and vacuum pressure, that can damage fragile nutrient and color compounds.
The gentler drying method used for our powders utilizes targeted wavelengths of infrared light to remove moisture, retaining the delicate, beneficial compounds in these foods, without the need for fillers or carriers.
This process extends freshness while keeping our products as close to nature as possible, allowing them to retain the wholesome nutrition and vibrant color of fresh food.* The drying processes used for our ingredients also ensure the product is food safe, and includes testing for heavy metals and pesticides.*
How are your pods sustainable?
The most effective way to reduce waste is to create less of it in the first place. We're proud that each of our pods uses less than half the plastic in just the caps of the water and beverage bottles we seek to replace.
I've noticed sometimes my blends are a little clumpy. Is that normal?
Because our blends contain whole food and plant-based ingredients, there is some natural variability in the texture and color of the powders. A small amount of clumping is perfectly normal, especially during the summertime when the weather is particularly hot and humid. Just give your pods a little squeeze before opening or inserting into the pod shifter of your Wellness Bottle to help break up some of the clumps.
Blueshift Wellness Bottle
Is the Wellness Bottle included automatically with a pod purchase?
While the Wellness Bottle is not automatically included with a pod purchase, we often run promotions that make purchasing any of our bottles a great value. The Wellness Bottle is available for purchase separately from our pods and must be added to your cart as a distinct part of your order to be received. Keep in mind, our pods are useable without a Blueshift Bottle, too!
Where can I find information about how to use and care for my Blueshift Wellness Bottle?
Our Wellness Bottle Guide page explains the parts of your bottle, and includes demonstrations of how to load pods, make drinks, and clean your bottle. It also answers questions about Actions & Gestures, the Light Ring colors, and our Wellness Bottle Companion app, and more. Click here to check it out!
Can I use my Blueshift Wellness Bottle for both cold and hot beverages?
Yes. The construction of the mixer cup will help keep cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot. However, hot drinks and blenders can present an obvious danger of splashing, and you should never use boiling water. If you choose to make a hot drink, make sure not to overfill your mixer cup and that the dispenser head is on tight!
Can I put carbonated water in my Blueshift Wellness Bottle?
We recommend mixing our drinks with still water (carbonation can affect the flavor).
Can I use alkaline water in my Blueshift Wellness Bottle?
Yes. The 304 stainless steel of the mixer cup is one of the safest surfaces for alkaline water.
Can I put beverages other than water in my Blueshift Wellness Bottle?
Absolutely. If you would like to track your total daily hydration, we recommend that you drink all beverages from our bottle. This will allow our app to track your hydration completely.
Can I leave my Blueshift Wellness Bottle in the car?
Yes; however, if your bottle is left in a very hot car or car trunk, let your Power Puck come to room temperature before operating (and we do not recommend leaving your Blueshift Wellness Bottle in the car for extended periods of time in extreme temperatures).
Will my bottle leak if I throw it into my gym bag?
If the drink stopper is in place, there should be no leaks; however, it is possible that shifting items in you bag push the stopper open, which could result in a wet gym bag.
Is the Blueshift Wellness Bottle BPA free?
Yes, our bottle is BPA free!
Has Blueshift Wellness Bottle been tested?
The bottle has been tested in many ways:
- It is certified for UL 982 - a specification for blender safety.
- The battery is certified for UL1648 and EN703351 - so the battery is safe to use in extreme circumstances (just don't burn it or cut into it).
- The materials are all FDA/NSF 61 certified - this means the FDA is okay with drinking hot water off of these materials (and even more strictly, the entire drink path is 304 stainless steel).
Is your bottle suitable for small children?
Our bottle contains small parts and a blender, which can present a choking hazard, and is not intended for small children.
Is the Blueshift Wellness Bottle refrigerator/microwave/dishwasher safe?
Our bottle can go in the refrigerator, and all parts except the Power Puck can go in the dishwasher (the Power Puck contains the battery and therefore cannot be submerged in water). If you machine wash your bottle, most dishwashers recommend keeping plastic parts on the top shelf away from heating elements, and this is true for the parts of our bottle containing plastic (the Pod Shifter and Dispenser Head). Please never put any part of our bottle in the microwave though!
I want to give feedback or an idea of how to improve your Wellness Bottle. Who should I reach out to?
As a new company with new products, our customers' experience and feedback is invaluable to us and we would love to hear your thoughts! Please contact us here to share your ideas.
Blueshift Wellness Bottle Companion App
How does the app work?
That's a great question. We've created a simple-to-follow video on how to use our app. Click here to learn more.
Does the Blueshift Wellness Bottle App work with the Sidekick and Blender bottles, or only the Blueshift Wellness Bottle?
The Blueshift Wellness Bottle Companion App can only sync with the Blueshift Wellness Bottle to send reminders and automatically record hydration, but you may still use the app to track your hydration by manually adding drinks from other bottles.
Do I have to download the Blueshift Wellness Bottle App?
No, you do not have to download our app if you don't want to. Our app is a supporting tool for your wellness routine with Blueshift Nutrition. The app can track your water intake and remind you to drink (so important for feeling your best!).
Where can I download the Blueshift Wellness Bottle App?
Please visit the Apple App Store or Google Play store and search by typing in "Blueshift Wellness Bottle".
Do I need an account to use the Blueshift Wellness Bottle App?
No, you do not need an account; however, certain features of the app are best experienced when you've created an account and are logged in.
How do I connect my Blueshift Wellness Bottle to the app?
Once you've downloaded the app, you can choose whether or not to log into your account if you have one, and to connect your bottle, click on the bottle image in the upper right hand corner and then tap the "Connect my bottle" button.
How do I stop receiving push notifications?
In the app, click on the menu icon in the upper left hand corner and click on Actions & Gestures. Here you will find a "Silence Phone Notifications" toggle (when the toggle is gray, you've successfully turned off push notifications).
Can the app help me locate my bottle?
For an optimal Blueshift experience, keep your bottle connected to your app at all times. This will allow you to locate your bottle should it go missing. To connect your bottle, simply open the app, click on the bottle image in the upper right hand corner and then tap the "Connect my bottle" button.
Once connected, click on "Find My Bottle" and tap the "Signal Again" button. The Light Ring on your bottle will go off and you will also see a map with an address that shows your bottle's location. If your bottle is no longer connected to the app, including if the bottle battery died and/or the Power Puck has been disconnected from the bottle, the location will be the last place your bottle had power and/or was connected to the Power Puck.
Can I view and manage my Blueshift subscription through the app?
You will be able to access our website through the app where you can log into your account and manage your subscription. Just click the shopping cart icon at the bottom of the app home screen, click on the top left hand corner, and then tap on Account Login.
What are Blueshift Wellness Bottle Updates and how will I know about them?
Our bottle gets smarter with time, thanks to our ability to update the firmware through the app. In the future, we may add more features to your bottle to increase its ability to make it fun and easy to stay healthy and hydrated. Every so often, open the main menu of the app and click "Check for Updates" to see what's new.
How does my Blueshift Wellness Bottle & App help me stay hydrated?
We have a tiny scale inside our Wellness Bottle. Every time you take a sip and place the Wellness Bottle on a flat surface it automatically calculates how much of the beverage has been consumed. If you haven't drank from your Bottle in 30 minutes, a quick blue pulse will repeat every 2 minutes until you lift the Bottle to drink your beverage. You can turn off and modify the frequency of your Drink Reminders in our app.
Our convenient (and free!) app calculates your daily hydration goal based on the information you provide us. You can also calculate your own hydration goal using an online water calculator and modify your goal within our app.
Our app will send you notifications to remind you to drink water and it will track your hydration progress on the main screen. If you get together with friends and family and you happen to not have your Bottle with you, you can always record any additional drinks in our app afterwards.
Blueshift Sidekick Bottle
How do I make a drink using the Sidekick Bottle?
Ready to mix up a delicious drink with ease? Start by opening your Sidekick Bottle and inserting the stainless-steel shaker ball. Next, fill the bottle with approximately 14 oz of cold water*. Then, open your Superblend of choice by using the pull tab to peel off the lid and pour the contents of the pod into the bottle. Screw the lid onto the bottle and ensure the FreeFlow twist cap spout is fully closed before giving the bottle a good shake (for about 10 seconds). That's it - you're ready to sit back, relax, and enjoy your perfectly blended drink! Settling is normal, so shake occasionally for best flavor.
*Note: the full capacity of the Sidekick is 18 oz. For 14 oz, fill the water up to the bottom of the Tricon logo (printed on the exterior of the bottle).
Can I use my Sidekick Bottle for both cold and hot beverages?
The superior double-walled stainless steel construction keeps cold beverages refreshingly chill for hours – you can even add ice for the ultimate Superblend flavor sensation. While the Sidekick bottle itself is also suitable for hot beverages, our Superblends are not formulated for use with hot water. For your safety, never shake the bottle when it contains a hot beverage.
What is a Pod Garage, and how do I use it?
The Pod Garage is the perfect pod storage solution built right into your bottle! This ultra-convenient compartment stores up to 3 of your favorite Superblends for easy, on-the-go access to fuel your active lifestyle. And with its handy transparent design, you'll always know exactly what you have on hand. To use, simply unscrew the Pod Garage, pop in your pods (we recommend inserting them upside down for easy viewing), and re-attach it to the bottom of the bottle.
Is the Sidekick Bottle dishwasher safe?
Yes! The Sidekick Bottle is dishwasher safe (top rack only) for your convenience. However, for maximum longevity and cleanliness, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water after each use.
Is the Sidekick Bottle refrigerator and microwave safe?
Rest assured, the Sidekick Bottle is safe for use in the refrigerator, but it is not recommended for the freezer. And, for your safety, never put it inside a microwave oven.
Can I put carbonated water in my Sidekick Bottle?
Absolutely. However, our Superblends are not formulated for use with carbonated beverages and may not dissolve properly in carbonated water. Additionally, you should never shake the bottle when it contains a carbonated beverage.
Blueshift BlenderBottle®
How do I make a drink using the BlenderBottle?
Get ready to shake it like a polaroid picture! Open your BlenderBottle and place the stainless-steel shaker ball inside the bottle. Next, add 14 oz of cold water, using the measuring tool on the bottle. After you have added your water, peel pod lid and pour contents of the pod into your bottle. Secure the bottle top, ensuring the flip cap is fully closed, shake your bottle for about 10 seconds (like a polaroid picture, hey ya!), and enjoy. For best results, shake intermittently to ensure ingredients don't settle.
Can I use my Blueshift BlenderBottle for both cold and hot beverages?
The BlenderBottle is great for cold beverages and can even be used with light ice; however, we do not suggest using it for hot beverages.
What is a Pod Garage, and how do I use it?
We are so glad you asked! The BlenderBottle's Pod Garage is a storage compartment at the bottom of the bottle. Simply unscrew the Pod Garage from the bottom of the bottle, insert up to 3 pods (we suggest upside down, so that the labels can be seen from the outside), and then re-attach to the bottom of the bottle.
Is the Blueshift BlenderBottle dishwasher safe?
The BlenderBottle is dishwasher safe (top-rack only, for a top-notch bottle!); however, for best results, handwash with warm, soapy water after each use.
Is the Blueshift BlenderBottle refrigerator and microwave safe?
The BlenderBottle can go in the refrigerator, but please do not place in the freezer, and never place in the microwave!
Can I put carbonated water in my Blueshift BlenderBottle?
We do not recommend using carbonated in the Blueshift BlenderBottle.
