Benefits of a Shaker Bottle
Just look around at the gym or the office, and you’ll see a variety of different ways to consume liquid – insulated tumblers, cups with drinking straws, gallon jugs and plastic bottles. The options are endless! Let’s take a look at the top 2 benefits of a shaker bottle:
- No blender required. Shaker bottles (or sometimes referred to as shaker cups, protein shakers, or supplement shakers) serve the primary purpose of mixing protein powder and liquid for a smooth drink without all the mess of a blender. That small wire or plastic ball? It’s called an agitator (or protein shaker ball) and it bounces around in the cup to break up the protein and help avoid clumps. One of our favorite features about the Kilo shaker is that the silicone cup results in a quiet mixing experience. Have you ever tried to mix up a quick protein shake in a plastic shaker during a meeting or in your cubicle? Trust us – avoid the annoyed glances and just go for the silicone!
- Protein on the go. The more you learn about fitness and nutrition, the more you realize how important it is to fuel your body and muscles with protein. In a perfect world, we’d all have the time and energy to make a delicious crockpot chicken recipe or cook up a half pound of ground beef. Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case. Protein shakers allow for a convenient way to consume your protein away from home. Traditional shaker cups are pretty bulky and take up a lot of space in your bag. That’s the exact reason we designed the Kilo. When fully expanded, it fits two scoops of protein powder and holds 16 oz. Collapse it down to 2.5 inches and tuck it in your backpack, purse, or travel bag and save space for the other things you need!
