HowBoutAMacroSmoothi: Shouldn't be a problem. How did it taste? Another way to do it is to take a bite of a banana and let the pill slither down with it--or any other food you may like. The important thing is that you take the medication as directed. Even if it says "without food," one swallow of something won't matter. Then chase it with some water, or more apple juice or whatever.
