No. The product comes in 3.4-lb bags. You mix the product up in a graduated, food-grade bucket, using a commerical immersion blender at a 1:1 ratio (1 bag: 1 gallon of water) and pour it into the dispenser.

Critical Reload is easy to mix and we have found it takes less time to fill the Dispenser than stock a refrigerator with chocolate milk each day. The Dispenser is simple to take apart and clean and our athletes love the taste of Critical Reload. The system ensures our athletes refuel properly while bridging the gap between the end of practice and dinner time with their families. I would recommend this investment to any athletic program
Unknown Member –
I was worried about mixing, cleaning, and dispensing the shakes, but all of this is seamless with the Critical Reload Dispenser. It is a simple, weekly process. I mix and dispense right out of my office and quickly rinse and clean in a washtub right down the hall from our facility. It is a small step process that has added huge gains in our program

Mixing up the Critical Reload was easy, and getting the product ice cold was a snap with the dispenser. When it came to cleaning up, the simple assembly of the dispenser made it easy to clean. Only four pieces need cleaning, and it takes about 10 minutes. Stocking of Critical Reload is never a problem either — no refrigerator or worrying about expiration dates. Critical Reload’s customer service is second to none because the owner is a strength coach. We always have the product when we need it. Critical Reload is a difference-maker because Coach Bewley and his staff go above and beyond to make sure it works for the strength coach.
