Use EnduraShake 4 ways:

Nutrition/Carbo-loader: 1-3 days before (depending on the intensity of the event, how any heats over the day; if the kid/athlete is lean/low on natural reserves etc). 1 scoop in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed.
In the morning of the event: Take 1-2 scoops in 200ml-400ml water as your breakfast – No need to eat anything else for several hours. Perfect if you struggle to eat because of nervous tension! You WON’T feel full. (Take 1 scoop if you’re very tiny).
Over the day: Light sustaining meal. You can take 1-2 scoops over the day, as and when you feel hungry. (1-2 scoops in 200ml-400ml water) Some athletes prefer to take 1 scoop in 200ml water more often throughout the day – others prefer 2 scoops less often and be done with it.
Recovery food: 1-2 scoops afterwards to maximise fast recovery, especially if you’re competing again the next day. In addition, if you are very tired, take another 1 scoop before you go to sleep. (EnduraShake won’t keep you awake, but it will help feed and recover exhausted muscles while sleeping)
