A handful of pistachios can help ward off hunger pangs, which might come in handy during prolonged activity. Furthermore, the nut is a great source of protein and fiber.

One pistachio contains 3-4 calories, on average. Some dietitians suggest a daily portion of 30 grams, or about 49 pistachios – which translates to roughly160 calories. In comparison, an equivalent portion of walnuts contains 190 calories, and the same portion of macadamia nuts contains 200 calories. Use a blender, a mortar and pestle, or any food-grade grinder. You can mix the nut powder into smoothies, sprinkle it into your cereal, and even use it as a baking ingredient. If you are blending the pistachios into a smoothie anyway, you can leave them whole and add them directly to the mix.

The first track of the Shell Cup has three shortcuts to speed you along:  Close to the start, before the beach, drive around a crate with a Pianta standing on it, to find a hidden ramp. At the beach, drive onto the sand strip to the left to skip the water and duck monsters completely. There's another ramp at the end of this. The first shortcut leads you straight to this area. If you have a speed boost item, use it to go straight through the water! Just avoid the dark water, which is out of bounds. There are three different places in this track where you can drive through waterfalls. Each one is on the inward slope of the track, so keep an eye on the inner edge to look for these routes. These shortcuts might slow you down if you don't have enough speed. Save your speed boost items for the waterfalls. When you approach the top right corner of the map, go straight ahead instead of turning left. There's a jump here that you can cross if you perform a stunt or use a speed powerup. If you look closely at the map you'll see the ledge you can land on. The final track of the Shell Cup is pretty straightforward. The best way to reduce your time is to pick up as many items as you can, and use the speed boosts to cut across grassy and sandy areas. Speed items can also let you shoot up seemingly impossible slopes. This can take some practice to avoid going out of bounds, so don't try it if you're already going to get a good enough score.

If you want to take a break in between your brews, you can refrigerate your Scoby in a clean, air-tight container. Use a glass jar or a fresh plastic bag to house your Scoby temporarily. Store 1 Scoby per container. To keep your Scoby healthy in between batches, pour in some of your tea and sugar mixture or remaining kombucha so it submerges the Scoby. You can use both or either one to feed your Scoby. This amount doesn’t have to be precise, but you want your Scoby to have enough food to survive as it is in between batches. You can always add more later! Once your Scoby is in a temporary container and has some food, you can stick it in the fridge until you are ready to brew with it again. The low temperature stops the fermentation process, so your Scoby's growth pauses.  You can place your jar or bag on the bottom shelf in the back corner. If you are using a bag, make sure your Scoby stays away from any excess moisture. While you can pause your brew in between batches without any issue, your Scoby is at risk of going bad if you leave it in temporary storage for more than a few months. Plan to make a fresh batch or place your Scoby in a “hotel” after a couple months maximum.
