12 Best Protein Shakers (Review) In 2021

BlenderBottle is at it again with another stellar protein shaker. Their Classic Loop Top Shaker comes with a super simple design and a standard black-and-white color set. There are dozens of other variations available, but added colors might cost a few bucks extra here and there. The real magic of BlenderBottle, apart from the BPA-free construction, is the surgical grade stainless steel agitator that flawlessly mixes your protein shakes into a smooth, creamy state of perfection. You get a total of twenty-eight ounces of storage space, a design that’s built to sit in cup holders without rattling around, and a top rack dishwasher safe stamp of approval. Simple, inexpensive and effective.

You can’t beat BlenderBottle, no matter how hard you try. They’ve engineered the very best gym shakers, and this inexpensive rendition of their famous lineup is a shining example to that fact. You get a leak-proof SureSeal cap with a flip-up spout, which has a high wall to prevent swaying and spilling. Pair that with the included protein powder jar that actually connects to the bottom of the shaker, and you’ve got an all-in-one travel station for your protein shake at the gym. Everything is BPA-free, phthalate-free, and completely safe to put in the dishwasher, making BlenderBottle ProStak one of the most durable and versatile protein shakers we’ve ever tested. If the basic steel gray style doesn’t suit your liking, you can always opt for one of their 20+ designs as well. Make sure you always keep it handy in your gym bag.

You’re not only given the option to choose from some of your favorite superheroes (we’re fans of The Punisher model), but you actually get to live with a superior protein shaker. Performa made Perfect Shaker (Movie Collection) completely shatter resistant, so a simple drop from the top of the dishwasher isn’t going to crack, split or pop any elements out of place. Combine that with their fantastic mixing technology, actionrod. That uses the force of motion with the agitator to create a piston that forces liquid in and out, keeping your protein shakes perfectly blended no matter what. You’ve got a leak-proof lid with a guarantee, as well as a completely BPA-free construction that’s 100% dishwasher safe. What’s not to love?

Trying to get his and hers set of protein shakers? We think it’s a romantic gesture, and BluePeak wants to make sure it goes off without a hitch. You get one black and one pink protein shaker with each purchase, both crafted out of a completely BPA-free durable plastic that’s extremely resistant to drops and scuffs. BluePeak stands out for their dual mixing technology, which includes an agitator ball, as well as a mixing grid to filter out any particles or clumps that haven’t been blended in properly. Each of these BluePeak Protein Shaker Bottles has a total of twenty ounces of capacity, and measurement markings that travel up to the sixteen-ounce mark. You’re hitting the gym with your lady, and you want to do it in style: BluePeak’s got your back.

This is a serious step-up in style, and Homiguar wastes no time getting right into the goods with this. The first thing you might notice is the peekaboo window into the contents of your shaker, so you can monitor how much you have left. I’ve personally chugged the last of my shake without realizing how low it was and it’s always a bummer, but that doesn’t have to happen anymore. Crafted out of stainless steel without a hint of BPA plastic, Homiguar Protein Shaker Bottle also features a fully leak-proof lid, and a nice lanyard loop on top to keep it by your side at all times.

PROMIXX understands that you’re sick and tired of clumps and lumps in your protein shake. Admittedly, we’ve all grabbed those dollar store mixers and found that they haven’t worked, and we’ve been hit with a nasty powder bomb. PROMIXX Stainless Steel Electric Protein Shaker not only take all the hassle out of mixing but remain convenient. The base if rechargeable with a simple micro USB cord, so you can bring it with you and mix at the gym if you’d prefer. Everything is created without BPA or DEHP components, and all non-electric components are top rack dishwasher safe. No more hassle, no more clumpy protein shake.

To us, Hydra Cup Shaker Bottle is one of the most iconic styles we’ve seen at the gym constantly. Hydra Cup slays the game when it comes to style, but also functions far better than most inexpensive protein shaker models on the market. You get twenty-eight ounces of storage space, as well as a separate protein powder storage container included with your purchase. Your lid is 100% leak-proof, so if this knocks around in the cup holder or in the mesh pocket of your backpack, you can rest assured that it won’t leak a single drop. Zero BPA used during construction, crafted in the USA, and built to last.

You’ll see that there aren’t many electric shakers on this list, but InstaShaker’s Vortex model just can’t be ignored. Attach your 20 oz reservoir to the motorized base, flip on the switch, and watch some magic happen. You have a 16,000 RPM motor going to town on your mixture. That means no clumps, no lumps or powdered protein shake mix just sitting around. It’s named Vortex for a reason: it pulls everything down, blending it furiously in a thirty-second interval, promising you nothing but the smoothest shake every single time. The chamber is made of 100% BPA-free acrylic, promising superior quality and an easy-to-clean surface every single time. You’ll also get a one-year warranty on the motor and electric parts, so there’s relatively no risk in trying your hand at an electric protein shaker.

The joy should be in the cup, but we’re getting pretty excited just by the exterior. Bottled Joy created a simple and inexpensive protein shaker, with over eight different aesthetic styles to choose from, as well as a fully BPA-free construction. The star of the show here is the contoured finger inlays on the outside of the shaker, giving you full control while holding it. That’s good because the flip-up lid is difficult to get open thanks to the 100% leak-proof guarantee. If this ends up hitting the passenger side floor in the car, it’s not going to cost you a hundred bucks in some lowbrow detailing. Last but not least, Bottled Joy Protein Shaker Bottle is super simple to clean inside and out.

If you’ve been wondering how little you can spend while still getting a quality protein shaker, Contigo is your answer. This simple bottle comes with a mixer ball to keep things shaken up, as well as a leak-proof lid to ensure things don’t get too wild. There’s a simple flip-top spout on the top, and twenty-eight ounces of capacity to quench every bit of thirst at the gym. As our best value pick, you’re getting minimal brand logos and aesthetics, but a ton of functionality. Not concerned with how your protein shaker bottle looks to the others at the gym? If you answered yes, then Contigo is about to save you some money.

It’s by a company called grenade, and apparently, they have an awesome sense of humor. This simple twenty-ounce protein shaker looks very militant and includes a high walled spout that gives you a little bit more room to shake things up. You’re also going to get an inclusive protein compartment, which hooks right onto the bottom of your shaker to extend its height. Pair all that with the dual mixing system, and you’ve got one hell of a shaker that gets major style points. Making this aesthetic didn’t come at any cost on quality, because Grenade made these BPA and DEHP-free, making Grenade Shake excellent for the dishwasher, microwave or freezer without having to worry about breakage.

Last but not least, this simple approach deserves some credit. With Smartshake Original Shaker Cup you get the measurement markings on the side, you get a stellar look, but most importantly, you end up saving an absolute mad wad of cash while still getting excellent mixing power. There’s a fully leak-proof lid, which also comes with a lanyard loop if you’re hooking this onto the side of your backpack before heading to the gym. It’s also completely BPA and DEHP-free, so you won’t have to worry about a single thing during use. Those properties are a result of superior construction, which also makes this 1005 dishwasher safe (top rack only). SmartShake focused on simple aesthetics, so choose from one of five different colors, and get mixing.
