The first thing to consider is the size and weight of your protein shaker. If you don't consider yourself to be a fitness fanatic or a passionate bodybuilder, smaller and more portable bottles with no blenders or whisks will suit you just right. But if your intense exercise regime requires you to eat hefty portions of protein on a daily basis, investing in a bigger, more sophisticated shaker will make your fitness routine much easier to follow. If you also regularly take other supplements, such as BCAAs or creatine, having an additional pill compartment or removable container will surely come in handy. Electric shakers are fantastic to watch when mixing drinks; many have a great and functional eye-catching design, build quality, and sometimes flashing lights to entertain you while using the electric protein shaker cup.

I would highly recommend this product to everyone. Just the fact that it can mix well without a ball is game-changing,” our tester said. “Cleaning that ball can be a pain, and sometimes I can't even find it when I need it.” It’s one less thing to worry about, and our tester found it still made a well-mixed shake with no caked-on powder residue. Afterward, testers poured out the remaining liquid and cleaned the shaker bottle according to the manufacturer's instructions. The bottles' stainless steel material made cleaning a breeze, according to our tester, who gave it a near-perfect score of 4.9 out of 5 for ease of cleaning. We recommend this product for on-the-go users with busy lifestyles looking to keep their shakes, smoothies, and drinks temperature-controlled. This shaker bottle’s design differs from others, holding up to 22 oz with a broader, shorter stature. It’s built as a single unit, with the USB port seamlessly integrated into the base under a protective plastic lip. Notably, it’s not dishwasher safe, so keep that in mind. Our testers particularly liked that liquid stays cool thanks to the insulation and that the handy bottom compartment can store protein powder. But take note that while the bottle itself is dishwasher safe, the bottom compartment is hand wash only. This makes it especially easy to mix up a refreshing shake at the gym post-workout.However, there are few downsides to Shakespeare tumblers. Though easy to clean, they’re not dishwasher safe. The bottles are mostly non-transparent and only four color options are available. They’re also quite expensive.

It’s a versatile product that’s well worth the money, according to our tester. With compact portability, a long-lasting charge, and a 6-point stainless steel blade, the Blendjet 2 is a portable blender machine. To avoid lingering smells or funky flavors, clean the cup, lid, and the blending mechanism as soon as possible after use with dish soap and warm water, and soak overnight if necessary. “Leaving the shaker bottle stuffed in your gym bag or a hot car and waiting until you get home to clean it is going to make it smell—and we all know that stench,” says Ferriter. “If you don’t have access to a dishwasher or sponge right away, shake some soap and hot water in the bottle to clean, rinse, and let air dry. Then fully wash it when you’re home," she adds. The Bolde Bottle takes the cake when it comes to thoughtful mixing of protein shakes. We found that it mixed the best of all the options we tested and made minimal noise as we shook. Solidly constructed of stainless steel, it has beneficial features like the blending mechanism attached to lid for mixing and staying out of the way during sipping, though it is removable for cleaning. The highly effective Voltrx Vortexboost mixing bottle was the first electric blender bottle I’ve bought, and now I own two because it is such a quality electric shaker bottle. Material: Stainless steel; Capacity: 400ml; Suitable for hot drinks: Yes; Blender ball included: No

It has a rechargeable battery, and the mixer isn’t too loud. “It’s great for anyone who wants something ready to go post-workout,” our tester said. “It's quiet enough to use in the gym without annoying everyone around you.” When it came to mixing ability, the patented BlenderBottle wire whisk delivered a smooth consistency, with no lumps or residue. A shaker bottle’s main purpose is to mix protein powder with water to make a protein shake. Arnold says, “Ideally, you are using a shaker bottle for a protein shake as soon as possible after a workout. The sooner, the better, but at a minimum, within 60 minutes.”This won for “easiest to clean” because you just have to add water and soap to the bottle and turn on the mixer to clean it. This was another feature we appreciated, with our tester noting: “Just drop in some liquid soap, turn on the motor, and pour water in, and it cleans itself, or you can remove the parts and clean it individually. I love that it cleans itself.” Hassle-free clean-up by removing the base, so you don't have to worry about water getting into the electrics Because of the unique dual-compartment system, the bottle was somewhat difficult to clean. The smaller, 12-ounce side requires a long scrub brush, as our tester noted, after a failed attempt to reach in with his hand to manually clean this side of the bottle. With two inner compartments and two snap-shut mouth spouts, the Hydra Cup Dual Threat is the best 2-in-1 shaker bottle we tested. We recommend it for those looking to store both pre- and post-workout drinks for on-the-go sipping. Our tester appreciated the latch-on lid and carry loop for worry-free portability. Note that this is an electric shaker bottle, but it is not meant to blend solids like fruit or ice because it has plastic blades.
