Drying FocusXT 'boulder' in the freezer?

Just got a tub of the caf-free Focus xt and I've had the a tub that was kinda clumpy...but this is 3 or so large shiny boulders!

My plan was to put it in the freezer with the lid off to maybe dry it out, then pop it in the food processor.
Hopefully I won't have to do this again, but has anyone else done this or something similar?

Just don't want to ruin it. thanks.
 
Do exactly that and you'll be good to go! Haven't experienced that myself with FXT, but have with other pre's, works like a charm.
 
Sweet! Thanks.
Got it from NP, so I'm kind of surprised its rocked up like that. Never had this issue before either.
 
Yea thats weird. Usually mine do that if they have been sitting for awhile after i've opened them. like 6 months of more. haha. But what you said will do the trick to get rid of the clumps.
 
Ok...checked it this morning and it is rock solid frozen, but you can tell it's still quite sticky.
I will probably try the food processor Tuesday night on it and just hope it doesn't stick to everything.

Unfortunately, the ingredients love to suck up moisture. Frozen into the blender works fine. I have Focus XT that is quite old and started clumping, but if you drop a clump into water, still instantly dissolves and has zero effect on the product's effects.

I find this to be pretty.common with alot of powders I purchase. I.actually started saving my.silica packs because.of it
 
Just an update...

Ended up talking to NP and they agreed that there was no fixing it and gave me a credit.
Best of folks, I tell ya.

Much easier than putting the sticky boulders in the food processor ( which I don't think would have worked in my case).
 
Good to hear man! Are you sending it back then? If not, I mean, you should even dump it into a gallon baggie, freeze then use a (smooth side) meat tenderizer on it or rolling pin...just a thought
