Yes, the canister is half full. Its half full so that the spoon can fit in there. Its hilarious to me that people dont understand that! This is advertised as 9oz and I measured- there is 9oz of powder in the canister. Ok, sorry for the rant. I am using 1 scoop per glass of water. And I drink a couple of glasses per day. The taste to me is lovely. Its lemony with a hint of lavender. This flavor is not one that I want to drink all day long, but it is one that I will drink when I come home from work when I am relaxing. I own several flavors from this company - the unflavored (I usually throw in a little crystal lite flavoring) , the GlowUp caffeinated orange, the night time apple cinnamon (dont like that flavor of this one) and the nighttime blueberry moon milk (love the flavor of this one). Ive been putting these in my water for a couple of months and the difference is amazing. My eye lashes are thicker, my fingernails are stronger, my hair seems to be growing more, my complexion is nicer, my eyes less baggy and tired looking from working so much. I have also stopped my wine intake (maybe 2 or 3 glasses per week now). Im 36 and I can feel a difference in my body and attitude since I started using these products. Its only been a few months - Im excited to see how I look and feel in a year!
