Blender Bottle
4 Jun
Being a complete newbie to the protein powder scene, I went in search of a shaker cup on Nutrifirst. Expectedly, the choices were practical (read: U-G-L-Y) and geared towards the male of the species. Steering clear of cups that yell out "Shut Up And Train!" (Yes, they do exist. Much to my horror!!!), I found one in a shade of sunshine.
Forking out $13 for a plastic shaker does seem quite extreme. Even for me.
The postman delivered the BlenderBottle® along with my Optimum Nutrition 16 flavour variety pack. What a clever invention! The shaker that is, not the postal service.
The BlenderBottle® is essentially a shaker cup with a wire whisk ball (thereafter known as BlenderBall®). Not unlike a kitchen whisk, it takes care of the annoying lumps that plague the run of the mill shaker cup. Bah, peasants!
Aesthetics: 9.5/10 (the cup I have does not screw flush to the cup, it stops short by a fair bit. a personal preference)
Price: $$ out of $$$ (Not the cheapest product in the market but, the rest do not compare!)
Functionality: 9/10 (does the touted job perfectly though I wish it came it a handbag friendly size)
So high tech your bottle! Mine’s just the normal GNC one :P Does the whisk ball work?
Not unlike a kitchen whisk actually. The whisking aids in blending the powder so, its absolutely smooth. It is designed to stay in the bottle until the drink is done. Loves it!
You can actually get a handbag size BlenderBottle that is 20-oz capacity. The measurement markings go to 12-oz. (http://www.blenderbottle.com/product/2/Mini).
