So for about the last 10 or 11 years I have been working out pretty consistently, and I have fallen into the habit of finishing up my weight workout, run, ride, etc with either a powdered (whey) protein or recovery drink. But have been plagued by the same issue over and over again, substandard shaker/blender bottles. Over the years I have tried a handful of GNC’s various designs, a couple different designs from Bodybuilding.com, various other companies, and even the one with the motor that blends it for you (which worked well until the motor was subjected to moisture.) Which all usually start out working great, then start dripping, leaking, or completely coming apart and spilling the contents everywhere. Some contain little gaskets or “O” rings that fall out in the dishwasher, sink, etc.

Well several months back I ordered a Hammer Nutrition Blender Bottle. Upon receiving it, I felt the immediate need to try it out. First glance was that the lid and flip cap were made of heavy duty thick plastic, and there was no gaskets to lose. Still gunshy, from multiple mishaps of whey splatters on the kitchen cabinets, hardwood floor, or myself, I held it over the sink I gave it a whirl. The result: No leaks, everything was mixed, no  chunks. Perfect! But how long would it last? Well it has been apprx 8 months with constant use, and it still performs like the day it arrived on my doorstep. I have since bought another one and have them both in constant rotation. The stainless steel blender ball works like a champ, no chunks, although it does sound like you are shaking a spray paint can when you are shaking it, but a small price to pay in my book.

Pros: Well made, sturdy construction, blender ball mixes contents perfectly, no gaskets or “O” rings to lose, no leaks, Dishwasher safe, and of course BPA free.

Cons: Might be too small for some applications because it is only 16 oz (although I have not had any problems).
