Question 1

What is the best shaker size?

Accepted Answer

The most popular size is 600-700 ml, which is perfect for preparing a single protein drink serving. If you mix protein with water and ice, choose a larger 800 ml model to leave room for shaking. Smaller 400 ml shakers work well for BCAA and creatine drinks.

Question 2

How do I remove bad smell from a shaker?

Accepted Answer

Wash your shaker immediately after use with warm water and dish soap. If the odor has already set in, soak the shaker overnight in a baking soda solution (1 tbsp of baking soda per 500 ml of water). Wash the blending ball separately. Never leave protein residue in the shaker for more than a few hours, especially in warmth.

Question 3

Can a shaker also be used for making smoothies?

Accepted Answer

A shaker mixes powders with water well, but it cannot crush fruits and ice. You need a blender for smoothies. However, you can use a shaker to mix powder-based smoothie blends that contain pre-ground ingredients and only need to be mixed with liquid.

Question 4

Is a shaker dishwasher safe?

Accepted Answer

Most quality sports shakers are safe for the top rack of a dishwasher. Always check the manufacturer instructions, as some plastics can deform at high temperatures. The blending ball and lid are usually also dishwasher safe, but seals are best washed by hand.
