Turbo Shakers, Yes Please!



For the first post on here, I want to mention a few things that pertain mainly to those who drink protein and/or meal replacement shakes. Brand and type is irrelevant - some people like big bags from Costco or tubs from Target, others have the latest from bodybuilding.com or maybe your an Herbalife fan (personally I'm a huge fan of products from Atlarge Nutrition but that will be another post!) Anyway the product is the Turbo Shaker, the link is to buy it from Atlarge,  just because I am personally a fan of them, but you can find it at many places online including bodybuilding.com and the price doesn't differ much.



This plastic cup has made a huge impact on even the way my shakes taste, sounds weird but it's true. Since it is a decently large cup (holds 3 cups of liquid) you can fit plenty of water or whatever in it to mix your powders and keep a consistency like water as opposed to fresh cement. I've used blender-bottles for a long time, and they are a great product too, but this blows them away. I can't count how many times I dropped that metal ball in the bottom of the dishwasher or almost down the garbage disposal. Moving on - the turbo shaker is two pieces so no missing parts or rubber seals to get nasty, also a plus it's big enough to fit my hand in to clean the bottom. I haven't had a single clump of powder with anything of mixed or any lingering smells in the plastic.

After 10+ times in the dishwasher and countless hand washes...clean and unaffected
I actually threw away my 3 blender bottle's since I got this new toy! I'll put actual pictures of my use of it later tonight but I have successfully made everything from regular one or two scoop protein in water shakes, to 2 scoops of protein and 6 scoops of waxy maize starch for a 50g pro/75g carb meal replacement shake in less than 2 cups of water with the consistency of a cup of water by itself! To tip the scales I also tried 2 tbsp of peanut butter with 3 scoops of protein and a cup of ground oats in milk for an almost 800 calorie shake....and I drank it without gagging = victory (that type of shake I wouldn't recommend unless your diet is in check and your goal is not fat loss)

In conclusion - it has handled everything I've thrown at it / it's easy to clean, keep track of, and doesn't smell / and it's cheap - sub 10 bucks. A must have for anyone who mixes shakes!
