There’s a big difference in convenience and hygiene between a $3 Chinese shaker and a high-quality brand-name one.
Criteria for a high-quality shaker
- Leak-proof — doesn’t leak when shaken
- Whirl ball or mesh — mixes evenly without clumps
- BPA-free plastic — safe for food use
- Wide mouth — easy to clean
Capacity
- 400–500 ml — for 1 serving of protein
- 700–800 mL — for a weight gainer or several servings
Materials
- Tritan — BPA-free, does not absorb odors
- Stainless steel — the most hygienic option, keeps drinks cold
Trusted brands
