CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted July 25, 2011 I sorta think blenders are a pain to clean properly... but I like their ice crushing ability. What do you think is the most convenient, easy to clean, handiest way of mixing Protein? I never really liked using a shaker since not all mix that well (although it has been years since I tried this). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissBliss 29 Posted July 25, 2011 I use a plastic shaker that I got from GNC. It has a metal wire ball inside that helps shake up the liquid and the powder. It works really well. Sometimes when I want to add crushed ice I will use my blender, but otherwise it is the plastic shaker, and it rinses out really easily, which is important, 'cause I am on 4 shakes a day!!!!

rubyspring 1 Posted July 26, 2011 I really like my blender because I use a lot of crushed ice in my shakes. It also works well for adding hot broth to the Protein powder i've dissolved in some cool Water - no lumps. Easy to clean; when i empty the shake I rinse the blender and then add Water and a few drops of dish soap and blend, rinse and dry.

Just-A-Gem 86 Posted August 1, 2011 If you're in the market for a personal/travel sized blender, check out the Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender. They have them in most Wal-Mart's right now for the college crowd for only $12. Amazing reviews and they are easy to clean. Also double as a travel cup. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hamilton-Beach-Single-Serve-Blender-With-Travel-Lid/5924588 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myrori 55 Posted August 1, 2011 I use pre mixed shakes for the most part. Premier protien shakes from costco. When did make them at home I used the Bullet. very easy to clean compared to a blender and takes up much less space and I can drink from the same cup I mix in! Crushes ice and frozen fruit with ease!

LVikingFan 14 Posted August 13, 2011 I have a Kitchen Aid mini food processor that my wife picked up at Target for $40. It is super easy to clean, it chops up the ice and really makes my Protein Shake taste like a milk shake. Only problem was that it only came in red at our Target so my wife decided to paint our kitchen (it has been decorated with John Deere and painted bright green and yellow for years!) to better coordinate with the food processor!
