Finding the Best Mixer Bottle for You and Your Protein!

For all of us health nuts, we have all been there. Probably more often than we would like but in all honesty once is enough. Whether it's right after your workout or first in the morning you were mixing up your protein and go to down it and you have to hold back your last meal. I'm not talking about taste either, I'm talking about the dreaded clumps! Of course there are proteins that say they are easy mixing and non clumping however if you are trying to mix almost any protein in a glass of water with a fork or spoon you are bound to have nasty clumps in your otherwise great shake! P.S. If you don't know what I'm talking about yet maybe you should start here.

The Solution!

So, what is the answer to all of this you may ask. Well it's quite simple really, you need a shaker, or even better a blender! The problem is that a cup of water and spoon is not the most effective way of mixing protein as proven by your taste buds. To be honest clumping can make a delicious protein gag inducing. So what is a mixer bottle? A mixer bottle is a cup, usually plastic, with some form of mixing apparatus in side with a screw on cap. In the cap is a flip top drinking spout that easily allows you to shake then drink your protein. Honestly the life of a bodybuilder or fitness minded person is not complete without a protein shaker in hand. So prepare to lose your old ways and follow me!

The Basic Shaker Bottle (Low End)

Now for all intents and purposes this is all you really need to shake up that protein shake and get rid of those dreaded clumps! This is the favorite of people everywhere and I would highly recommend this to every one who is looking for a shaker. Really any style will do but the most popular format of the shaker bottle is the ones that use a wire ball to essentially whisk up the protein with the water or milk. It works great and is pretty easy to clean. It's recommended that you wash out your shaker bottles after each use and do not let them sit for extended periods of time with protein residue in the bottom. Trust me if you don't head this it is quite possible to stink up your entire house!

The Pro Shaker (Mid Range)

Now this is a portable shaker bottle that truly does it all! It stores your protein and liquid separately until you screw down the cap completely. This drops the protein into the water making sure it is freshly mixed right when you need it to be. Not only is this handy but this shaker bottle looks very cool. Honestly the price is higher but you are definitely getting more for your money.

Portable Power Mixer (Mid Range)

This is probably the coolest gadget I have seen in a while! It's a portable shaker bottle but instead of a blender ball it actualy has a miniature blender on top. I think this is so cool! Not to mention it works great. This is really great and I'm so happy I found this little guy. Its very handy and it's definitely a conversation starter. If you want something cool and hightech or just want a power mixer then this is for sure the way to go!

Power Blender (High End)

Now for those of you who money is no problem then a high end blender is the way to go. With one of these bad boys you can mix in protein berries milk yogurt you name it you can put it in here. Not only does this make protein shakes easy and fast to make but they come out at least 10times more delicious. Really guys it's pretty important to have one of these in your house if you are serious about your fitness lifestyle.
