Field notes

A few ways we take it at home

Modern Savage

The best supplement is the one you actually take, and the second month is where most people stop, usually because the pouch went to the back of the cupboard rather than because anything went wrong.

So this is a practical note. Modern Savage tastes of vanilla and dates, which is to say it tastes of pudding, and it goes into whatever you are already having. Cold water and a shake is the fastest way. Stirred into porridge it disappears. In yoghurt with some fruit it is a breakfast. In a smoothie with a banana and some milk it is a school-morning breakfast that nobody argues with.

The real trick is to keep the pouch next to the kettle, where you will see it at seven in the morning when you are not thinking straight, rather than in the cupboard. Habit does the rest.

There is a page of ways the family uses it, which we add to as new ones turn up.
