Protein Shakers & Bottles

Well, it’s a shaker for protein shakes. But to be more specific, protein shakers are special drinks containers that are designed to help you prepare and drink your protein shakes in a single device: Simply add water, add powder, shake, and drink.

The secret to protein shakers is the metal wire mixing ball inside, which shakes around, breaking up your powder and ensuring it’s fully dissolved, creating smooth, delicious shakes every time. It’s the easiest way to get quick, good results every time you make a shake, and they’re easy to rinse and dry after every use.

Using a protein shaker is easy. Simply add water, or your preferred fluid such as milk or a dairy-free alternative, add your preferred measure of powder, close the shaker, making sure everything is sealed tight, and then shake for 15-30 seconds, until the powder has fully mixed. Serve in a cup, or simply drink straight from the shaker.

Protein shakers come in a wide variety of materials and colours, but they’re most commonly made of plastic with a stainless steel wire mixing ball. The most popular shakers are transparent, allowing you to check your shakes are fully mixed before you serve.

Protein shaker bottles mainly work thanks to the wire mixing ball, which helps to break up any clumps of powder in your drink in the same way a whisk or blender would. If you consume protein shakes regularly, it’s just easier to have a tool that you can grab, use, wash, and re-use throughout the day.

As the cornerstone of any weight or resistance training regime, protein shakes are usually consumed either pre-workout or post-workout. You can even mix pre-workout formulas in protein shakers – but if you’re worried about mixing flavours, you might want to use a separate shaker for different formulas.

All protein shaker cups are very similar, but they vary depending on specific needs. If you tend to drink small portions throughout the day, consider a mini shaker. If you drink mass gainers or bulking formulas, an extra-large shaker will give you room for all that powder.

The wire mixing ball is the most important part of your shaker – which you’ll learn if you ever mix and drink a shake without it. It rattles around the cup as you shake, breaking up clumps of powder and ensuring the entire formula is evenly mixed, so you don’t get a mouthful of dry, lumpy protein shake (and trust us, you don’t want that).
