The Best Shaker Bottles
What to Consider
While the core concept of a shaker bottle tends to be similar from product to product, there are a few considerations that can help you choose.
Easy Cleaning
Anyone who has used protein powder knows that it clumps up and gunks up your bottles and cups fast. Accordingly, you need a shaker bottle that is easy to clean, ideally meaning that it is dishwasher-safe. (Pro tip: Put your liquid in first, then throw in any powders—this prevents powder from getting stuck in the corners of your bottle.)
Durability
Anything you bring to the gym tends to get knocked around, and a shaker bottle is no different. Look for one that isn’t made of brittle plastic that’ll crack. Instead, opt for a thicker plastic bottle, ideally with a watertight lid and mouthpiece.
Insulation
While you don’t need insulation for a shaker bottle, it can be a nice feature—especially if you like adding fresh fruit to your smoothies. Some options can blend your fruit smoothies for you and keep them cold, while others are made for mixing protein into your already-blended smoothie and don’t provide insulation.
How We Choose
To find the best shaker bottles among the many options on the market, we researched the most popular models available and considered size, price, design, durability, and ease of cleaning. We looked at both expert reviews and customer ratings to settle on the best shaker bottles available.
