Easy way to mix maltodextrin-type drinks

I haven't seen this mentioned before and I just "discovered" it, but an easy and quick way to mix up maltodextrin-type drinks is to throw in 3 or 4 ice cubes before you start shaking. The ice cubes banging around in the container break up any lumps and also scrape off anything that has settled on the bottom or sides. Keep in mind that you have to account for the volume of water in the ice cubes or you will end up diluting the mix slightly. Also, you can start with slightly warmer water, which helps dissolve the maltodextrin and then the ice cubes cool the liquid down.

@Tortuga - Neat. I asked a dentist friend of mine if he'd get me some stainless steel orthodontia wire so I could make my own. I have an idea to improve (I think) upon the design.
The nice think about the ice cubes, is that they work well and since they mely, there is nothing to wash other than the usual bottle.
