for drink.
Bulletproof-style drinks and emulsified shakes use a tablespoon of oil for mouthfeel and slow-release energy, blended at 8,000+ rpm to micronize droplets below 5 microns where they suspend without separating for 10-15 minutes. Canola's neutrality means a coffee or smoothie tastes of coffee or fruit, not oil. Substitutes here are scored on suspension stability after blending, on mouthfeel viscosity at 4°C drinking temperature, and on the absence of a tongue-coating lipid film once the glass is empty.

adjustment for drink
Blend 1:1 by tablespoon at 8,000+ rpm for 20-30 seconds. Refined corn micronizes to droplets under 5 microns and suspends 10-15 minutes in coffee or smoothie before separation begins. Slightly heavier mouthfeel than canola at 4°C drinking temp due to higher viscosity (~75 cP).

adjustment for drink
Use 1:1 by tablespoon. Blends into bulletproof-style drinks with droplet sizes comparable to canola at 8,000 rpm. Mild nuttiness at 0.5 ppm complements coffee and dark chocolate smoothies. Gamma-oryzanol slows oxidation, so the bottle stays drink-quality 6 months past opening.
