smoothies

I got a smoothie maker for Christmas and I've been playing around with it. I've been making my own smoothies and mixing in different fruits and stuff. I'm wondering how I can take creatine with it. Should I do 2.5 grams or should I do a full 5 grams? And would it degrade the product?

a friend of mine said that if you mix creatine with water and drink it then it should be fine and won’t degrade the creatine. My question is if this is true? And if so could I also mix it with things like coffee or smoothies?

Do any of you use juicers at home to make smoothies and other beverages. I bought a cheap one from Walmart that was like $15 and it's pretty crappy. I think I should probably invest in a more expensive one right? What do you guys use and can you recommend any brands oh, also do you have any...
