Protein Drink Shaker Bottle Suggestions?



Recommended Posts

At home I use a tiny blender to make my Protein Shakes. I would like something "for the road" that I can just shake it up, but the old kind of shaker I had was lousy (red lid with a tiny cap that comes off). The lid used to blow off when I'd shake the stuff up. What's out there, and where do I find it? Thanks for suggestions....

I purchased mine from GNC. I have 2, they work just fine. I never even need to pull out the blender or any other mechanical mixers. It has a metal springy mixer ball for the inside.

I have a Blender Bottle from wal-mart it has a little wisk sort of ball inside and is great. I think they run about $5 or so. They are called Blender Bottle. You can see them by doing a google search - I can't figure out how to add a picture.

@Libbe, hey thanks!! I'll have to hit up Wally World in the morning then. I've been wanting to go buy a few more, but they are around $7 at GNC from what I remember and that always seemed like a lot.

I agree with the Blender Bottle! I use mine every day for my Breakfast Protein Shake on my way to work. Just be sure to not put hot liquids in it because the lid will blow off from the pressure. (There's a warning that comes with the cup.)

I also have the blender bottles. I bought three of them from Amazon.com and I use all three almost every day. They are one of the best purchases!

One thing about the lid blowing, though: Even though these have a very secure screw-on cap, if used for hot liquids like coffee, the lid will blow. So when I make my coffee and Protein, I let the coffee cool a bit first.

The reviews were kind of dicey for a certain period, but if you sort the reviews by date, they are all very good. I got three of the 20 oz (in black) and they are all the perfect size for me, and none of them leak. I put them in the dishwasher each noght.

I ordered mine from Wal-mart.com. It's a Your Body Your Fortress shaker bottle for about $2.50. I love it! It doesn't have the blendy ball, but it has a screen at the top so that when you shake it, it goes back and forth through this screen. Really easy to clean, too. Just rinse it off. Plus it was delivered to my home free because I purchase enough of my Protein and Protein Shots to qualify for the free to home shipping. (The 10 pack of protein shots are less than purchasing them individually)

I have a Blender Bottle too. Also got mine at Amazon. I prefer it over the blender because the blender makes stuff to frothy. I shake mine over the sink because it leaks a little sometimes where the pour spout closes. I see others don't have a problem with that, so it may just be the way I hold the pour spout closed.

I bought 2 at MaxMuscle when I had my lapband 2 years ago and I still use them today after I had the band removed and the sleeve done on Dec 11, 2011. They also came with a metal wire ball that helps to mix the powder. They have a lid that is attached and does not come open when shaking. They were a little pricey compared to Walmart shaker bottle but they have held up very well.

@Libbe - Oh well, no biggie... I guess that might be a standard price then. Maybe mine were more too? LOL - it was a long time ago that I bought them. I'm still gonna hit up Walmart, I have the day off and my Walmart rule is no shopping after 8am, because that's when the crazy folk come out.

I just (literally JUST, like two minutes ago) got 2 of the pink 20oz Blender bottles from vitacost.com for $6.93 shipped!

If you open an account with them, you will get a coupon code in your email for $10 off a $10+ purchase. The bottles were $11.94 for both, and after the coupon were just $1.94. Then add $4.99 shipping cost! I got two for less than the price of one!

I LOVE COUPONS!

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
