Dooter 1,457 Posted February 2, 2012 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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted February 2, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeMeMEEE 206 Posted February 2, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted February 2, 2012 @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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeahG 16 Posted February 2, 2012 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.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda 3.0 140 Posted February 2, 2012 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.

B A 4 Posted February 2, 2012 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B A 4 Posted February 2, 2012 oops...i mean the 6 pack of Protein shots...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted February 2, 2012 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.

MeMeMEEE 206 Posted February 2, 2012 Just had my daughter pick another one up for me - they are $6.88 at our wal-mart. Could of swore it was more like $4.68 @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.

IowaAndy 95 Posted February 2, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted February 2, 2012 @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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bedhead 158 Posted February 2, 2012 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! 2 LilMissDiva Irene and longer-life reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
