BlenderBottle SportMixer Shaker Bottle Perfect for Protein Shakes and Pre Workout, 20-Ounce, Plum

This is sorta alongside my review for the Classic 20oz BlenderBottle, as I bought both togetherThe SportMixer bottle is great for pre-workout mixes, BCAA/electrolyte powders, or other lighter [rather, not as dense/thick as protein mixes or otherwise] powdered drink supplements on the go- having started out with the ol "fork or spoon and cup" option for mixing protein powder or pre-workout mixes (though at first I had a different brand than shown here/could mix those directly into a water bottle easily for the latter) having a BlenderBottle is a game-changer, and a huge improvement for mixing powdered drinks of any kind- not to mention the variety of options (not just color/theme print and size, but also insulated and stain/odor-proof variants, a few different types of locking cap, etc) I mean...wow--But, this review is more specifically about the SportMixer- the outer grip is a nice bonus, and the "locking" cap gives me a bit more reassurance leaving some water in this bottle and throwing into my backpack or gym bag. While some of the other locking caps I've seen on other BlenderBottle products look a bit more secure, I'm still pretty confident with this bottle's seals for keeping lighter/thinner liquids in. That being said....I'm not sure I'd ever put milk in the SportMixer or use it for protein shakes, as that same locking cap seems like a place for milk/unmixed protein powder to hide and become nasty rather quick- but also, I'm not 100% sure of how the plastic would do with some heavier or thicker drinks since it's harder to clean than the Classic (because of the tapered middle)- but, for water-based mixes and smaller-scooping/easier-mixing powders it's a great gym or on-the-go companionWhile I haven't quite tested it this way myself, the grip surface and taper in the middle would definitely help with carrying during a run or on the treadmill, just be sure to scrub the outside along there as well when washing it (hand sweat or condensation from the drink can leave the grip a bit sticky if not cleaned well- at least, it has for me a couple times ._.) The marks along the outside are a bit obscured in the middle between 10 oz and 17 oz, so you may have to eyeball any measurements in between that- I don't worry *too* much about that myself, but I understand why others would want more accurate measurements.For the size and price, with the more "sport/on-the-go" focused features (the grip, locking cap, flip-down hook, etc) either on it's own or to add to your BlenderBottle collection (there again, the product line is pretty wide heh) you can't go wrong with this one ^-^

Holds 16ozs, has an "hour-glass-type" shape with rubber grip that makes it easy for arthritic hands to hold and shake, and that mixer ball does a great job of mixing up my powdered supplements. This shaker bottle is a perfect size for me. I don't need those giant water/shaker bottles. I like it so much, I purchased an additional shaker bottle. I keep one in my bathroom for the Morning Kick supplement and one in my kitchen for the MCT supplement. BTW, I was going to stop the powdered supplements because mixing with a spoon wasn't doing the job of mixing and the battery-operated mini stick blender is too difficult for me to hold & operate; then I gave this shaker bottle a try. It's definitely a keeper!

The best feature of this blender bottle is definitely the opening. Instead of the usual hard-to-pop cap, it has a smooth twist screw-on/off lid that feels secure and leak-proof. I got it in the purple color for myself, but my husband keeps stealing it because it’s so much better than his regular blender bottles. Looks like we’ll be ordering another one soon!

Nice little shaker bottle! Flip top actually screws shut so it’s perfect for a shake on the go! Quality material- hasn’t broken down or cracked and it goes to the gym with me often! Worth the money.

I mainly use this little guy to store leftover coconut milk--when either a recipe calls for less than the full can, or I want to have pourable coconut milk for coffee etc. with out buying the extra expensive or sugar-added "barrista" coconut milks. The size is good for this purpose, the "blender ball" helpful when the coconut milk separates, and the twist-to-lock seal seems to work well once you figure it out.

I really love this BlenderBottle in plum; the colour is absolutely gorgeous, it actually makes me happy every time I use it. It feels great to drink from, much nicer than the wider bottles, and I like the way the screw on cap seals everything up without leaks. The size is perfect for tossing in a bag, but I was a little disappointed to find that it only holds about 17 oz when filled right to the brim, not the 20 oz listed. Still, it’s a solid, good feeling bottle.

This is a great shaker bottle to mix up my protein powder with milk. The metal spring thingy inside helps it get mixed to a smooth texture. One thing is that with the small cap on top, the mixture can drip from it when you're drinking. But all it takes is to wipe it with a paper towel or your tongue to get the little bit of liquid that is in there out. Highly recommend!

It’s a great mixing bottle. I use it every day to shake. My protein powder works very good. Happy with it.
