Bottles & Shakers

Shop Shaker Bottles at Myprotein

Finding the right shaker bottle makes all the difference when you're mixing protein shakes, pre-workouts, or powdered supplements. Whether you're heading to the gym, commuting to work, or simply staying hydrated throughout the day, having a reliable bottle or shaker keeps your nutrition routine running smoothly.

From classic plastic shakers with mixing balls to insulated metal designs and large-capacity hydrators, there's a style to suit every lifestyle. Our range includes leak-proof lids, measurement markings, and easy-clean designs that make daily supplement use hassle-free.

Who Bottles & Shakers Are For

Anyone who uses powdered supplements regularly will benefit from a quality shaker. Gym-goers rely on them for post-workout protein shakes, while athletes use them for intra-workout formulas and amino acids. They're equally useful for office workers mixing greens powders or meal replacements at their desk.

If you're carrying liquids to the gym, hiking, or travelling, a durable water bottle or gallon hydrator keeps you on track with hydration goals. Students, busy professionals, and active parents all find shakers and bottles essential for maintaining consistent nutrition habits throughout the day.

When to Use Bottles & Shakers

Shakers come into their own around training sessions—mix your pre-workout on the way to the gym, shake up BCAAs during your session, or blend a protein shake immediately after lifting. The convenience of mixing on-the-go means you're not tied to being near a kitchen or blender.

Beyond workouts, use your shaker or bottle throughout the day for hydration, meal replacements at lunch, or greens powders in the afternoon. Many people keep one at work, one in their gym bag, and one at home to ensure they always have a clean option ready.

Bottles & Shakers Benefits

Convenient Supplement Mixing

Shaker bottles with built-in mixing mechanisms—whether a metal ball or mesh grid—break up powder clumps instantly. This gives you smooth, lump-free shakes without needing a blender, making it simple to prepare supplements anywhere.

Leak-Proof Portability

Quality shakers feature secure screw-top lids and flip caps that prevent spills in your bag. Carry pre-measured powder in the compartment and add water when ready, or transport a fully mixed shake knowing it won't leak during your commute.

Hydration Tracking

Many bottles include measurement markings or large capacities like gallon hydrators, helping you monitor daily fluid intake. Staying on top of hydration becomes easier when you can see exactly how much you've consumed throughout the day.

Durable & Reusable

Investing in a sturdy metal or BPA-free plastic shaker reduces single-use bottle waste whilst lasting through countless gym sessions. Easy-clean designs with wide mouths and dishwasher-safe materials make maintenance straightforward.

FAQs

What's the difference between a shaker bottle and a regular water bottle?

Shaker bottles include a mixing mechanism—typically a metal ball or mesh grid—that breaks up powder when you shake it. This creates smooth, lump-free drinks from protein powders, pre-workouts, or other supplements. Regular water bottles lack this feature and are designed purely for carrying liquids.

Many shakers also feature wider mouths for easier powder scooping and compartments for storing supplements before mixing. Water bottles focus on hydration capacity and portability without the mixing functionality.

Are shaker bottles dishwasher safe?

Most plastic and metal shakers from Myprotein are dishwasher-safe, though it's worth checking the specific product details. Placing them on the top rack helps preserve the lid seal and any printed designs over time.

For longevity, hand-washing with warm soapy water immediately after use prevents protein residue building up. Make sure to clean the lid mechanism and mixing ball thoroughly, as these areas can trap powder if not rinsed properly.

How do I prevent my shaker from smelling?

Rinse your shaker immediately after use rather than letting protein sit inside for hours. Wash with warm water and washing-up liquid, paying attention to the lid threads and mixing ball where residue accumulates.

For stubborn odours, fill the shaker with warm water and a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda, leave overnight, then rinse thoroughly. Metal shakers resist odour absorption better than plastic, making them a good choice if smell is a persistent issue.

Can I use a shaker for hot drinks?

Standard plastic shakers aren't designed for hot liquids and may warp or compromise the seal integrity. If you need to mix warm drinks, metal insulated shakers handle temperature better, though you should still avoid boiling liquids.

Most people use shakers for cold or room-temperature beverages—protein shakes, amino acids, or electrolyte drinks. For hot beverages like coffee or tea, a dedicated insulated flask is the safer choice.

What size shaker should I choose?

A 700-750ml shaker suits most people for standard protein shakes made with 250-300ml liquid plus powder. This leaves enough space for effective mixing without overfilling.

If you prefer larger serves or drink multiple scoops of powder, consider a 1-litre option. Mini shakers around 500ml work well for pre-workouts or BCAAs where you're using less liquid. For pure hydration tracking, gallon bottles provide maximum capacity.

Do metal shakers keep drinks colder than plastic ones?

Yes, insulated metal shakers use double-wall construction that maintains temperature for several hours. This keeps protein shakes cold during long gym sessions or commutes, particularly useful in warm weather.

Plastic shakers don't offer thermal insulation but are lighter to carry and often more affordable. Choose based on whether temperature retention matters for your routine—metal for temperature control, plastic for lightweight convenience.

How often should I replace my shaker bottle?

Replace plastic shakers when you notice cracks, a compromised seal, or persistent odours that won't wash out. With daily use, this might be every 6-12 months depending on care and quality.

Metal shakers last considerably longer—often years—as they resist staining and odour absorption. Check the lid seal periodically on any shaker, as this tends to wear before the bottle itself.

Can I put pre-mixed shakes in the fridge?

Yes, you can prepare shakes in advance and refrigerate them in your shaker for a few hours. This works well for morning routines when you're short on time—mix the night before and grab from the fridge on your way out.

Consume refrigerated shakes within 24 hours for best quality and food safety. Give the shaker another quick shake before drinking, as some separation may occur during storage.

Who designed Myprotein's bottles and shakers?

Myprotein's product development team, including nutritionists and design specialists, created the bottles and shakers range based on athlete feedback and practical testing. The focus was on leak-proof functionality, easy cleaning, and mixing efficiency.

Each design goes through testing for durability and usability to ensure it holds up to daily supplement mixing. Materials are selected for safety and longevity, whether BPA-free plastic or food-grade stainless steel.

What's the mixing ball for in a shaker?

The metal mixing ball (sometimes called a shaker ball or blender ball) moves freely inside the bottle as you shake. It breaks up powder clumps and creates a smoother consistency than shaking alone.

Simply drop it into the shaker before adding powder and liquid, then shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. The ball does the work of whisking, giving you a lump-free drink without needing electrical equipment.

Are there BPA-free options available?

Yes, Myprotein's plastic shakers are made from BPA-free materials, ensuring no bisphenol A leaches into your drinks. This applies to both the bottle body and the lid components.

Metal shakers naturally avoid BPA concerns as they're constructed from stainless steel. Both options provide safe, food-grade materials suitable for daily supplement use.
