Protein helps you build muscle, reduces appetite, and boosts metabolism. It is no wonder that 46 percent of Americans consume protein shakes.

It is no longer just bodybuilders and high-performance athletes who supplement their diet with protein shakes. Those trying to lose weight may substitute some meals with a protein shake to relieve hunger.

It can be challenging for vegetarians and vegans to get the essential proteins and amino acids their bodies need. Many who follow a plant-based diet have turned to protein shakes to replace animal proteins.

The variety of shaker bottle recipes means anyone can enjoy a protein shake geared to their tastes.

Chocolate Brownie Shake 

Who says a protein shake cannot taste like dessert? Studies show that people who deprive themselves of their favorite foods are more likely to fail to stick to their diets.

This shake tastes of delicious chocolate while at the same time giving you the protein energy boost you need to get through a workout or midday slump.

Start with the following ingredients:

• 1/2 banana or avocado
• 1/2 cup almond or plant-based milk
• One scoop of chocolate protein powder 
• Sweetener of choice such as stevia
• Cocoa powder or cacao nibs
• 1 tbsp chocolate hazelnut butter

You can use any other nut butter if you like. We also advise using cacao nibs and not cocoa powder if you use a chocolate-flavored protein powder. This will avoid an overpowering flavor.

Instructions

Add all ingredients, besides the cacao nibs, to a blender and blend until it reaches the right smooth consistency. Sprinkle the cacao nibs on top and enjoy.

Healing Turmeric With Ginger

The bright yellow spice turmeric is common in Indian cooking. However, it has also been used for hundreds of years as medicine. This is because its main compound, curcumin, is a powerful anti-inflammatory.

Studies show it can treat arthritis and Alzheimer's, prevent some cancers, and even stave off depression. Turmeric can also ease menstrual symptoms and lower cholesterol.

Adding turmeric to your protein shaker bottle recipes will boost your workout recovery.

Start with the following ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of plain yogurt
• 1/2 banana
• One cup of your favorite milk
• One scoop plain or vanilla protein powder
• One cup fresh mango or pineapple
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

You can also substitute fresh turmeric and ginger in this recipe.

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients in your favorite shaker bottle. Shake until it reaches your desired consistency.

Peanut Butter Protein Shake

There is nothing quite like the classic combination of banana and peanut butter. Add the new superfood, a Peruvian root known as maca, which bursts your energy and has high levels of iron, potassium, and other essential vitamins. 

This is what you will need:

• Two bananas
• 1.2 tsp of vanilla essence
• One tbsp of peanut butter
• One cup of favorite milk
• One tbsp of carob or cacao powder
• One tbsp of maca powder

This shaker bottle recipe is excellent for breakfast or to boost your energy before working out.

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to your shaker and give it a hefty shake. After a while, it will become smooth and creamy, and ready to drink.

3 Tips for Finding the Best Shaker Bottles for Protein Shakes

Are you looking for the best shaker bottles for protein shakes? You can read about some simple ways to find the right option for you.

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has protein guidance for weightlifters and athletes. They need an average of 0.5 to 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day.

Hitting your daily protein goals can be tough. On top of your day-to-day schedule, you have to make sure you're going to the gym and fueling your body.

Shaker bottles can help. They make delicious protein shakes fast, saving you the time and effort you'd rather be putting into training.

If you've been on the lookout for a way to mix your protein fast with a bottle shaker, we've got you covered. Keep reading for three tips on how to find the best shaker bottles.

1. Mixing Capabilities

The best protein shaker bottles use a metal ball that helps thick protein powders blend into a shake. These balls are easy to clean and small, so make sure to not place them in the dishwasher as they could get lost.

The bottle should be big enough to hold all your ingredients with enough room inside for mixing. But it should also be small enough so you can shake the bottle by hand without much effort.

You also want a bottle that has measurement markings on the side. This helps with following recipes' measurements. They also help in getting your protein shakes to an even consistency.

2. Cleaning and Materials

Protein shake bottles that are dishwasher safe are easier to clean than by hand. If you have more than one bottle, you can keep dirty ones cycling through and use clean ones whenever you like. 

Sometimes no matter how well you clean a bottle, it will still have a lingering smell from the shake. The best shakers have non-porous plastic that won't absorb liquid.

Any plastic container that stores food or drink should not have bisphenol A (BPA). This polycarbonate plastic can permeate into food and cause harmful health effects.

3. Customizable Design

Your shaker bottle doesn't have to be a simple piece of clear plastic. More designs are coming out every day that can help you show the world your personality. A fun logo or design can be a conversation starter and help you connect with your fellow athletes.

Shaker bottles can even have positive affirmations printed on them. There's evidence that suggests positive affirmations contribute to a greater sense of well-being.

Finally, you might need a larger or smaller bottle depending on your needs. You could have a busy day planned and might need a more significant meal replacement shake, so you would want a bigger bottle. Or you might need a quick shake at home instead, so you can use a smaller size.
