OK we all drink protein shakes. And I'm sure you've all had the same problems as me with your shaker bottles:

-the cap leaks eventually
-the lid doesn't seal fully, so leaks
-the lid breaks or falls apart
-certain brands don't mix as well, so can be lumpy
-you can't mix anything that isn't a pure liquid

I decided to give the blender bottle a try, for about $6 on bb.com. These things are fucking AWESOME!

First of all, the lid and cap are high quality, so they don't leak. And the cap is sturdy so it shouldn't break as easily. So all that is taken care of.

Secondly it comes with this little mini-whisk ball thingy that helps blend drinks. Most good protein powders mix fine, but I used to have issues with certain blends, like Syntha-6. Casein can be a bitch too. They would always have lumps no matter what. But now with this whisk thingy, they mix perfectly.

And best of all, I can mix other ingredients into shakes, without needing a blender. A favourite of mine is to take 4 or 5 spoons of unsweetened yogurt, 400 ml of water, and a scoop of tropical punch whey from ON. That is delicious!

Another good one is 100 ml of pure coconut milk, and a scoop of vanilla syntha-6 :)

Just a heads up if you have been frustrated (or even a little annoyed) and mixing shakes, this thing will make your life just a little bit better :thumbsup:

FYI, don't buy shaker bottles from Reflex. They're essentially the same as a regular blender bottle, except for the following:
-crappy build quality
-their Reflex logo will get on your skin by simply holding the bottle in your hand
-the proportions are slightly off from a real blender bottle; i.e. no swapping tops and bottoms from "real" blender bottles
-the numbers on the side are harder to see, probably because the bottle itself is cloudier to see through

I mix my shakes in a magic bullet then put them in a shaker bottle i got from popeyes (which doesnt leak) but someone told me its bad because it destroys the protein molecules, do you think this is true?

I've had my Blender Bottle for about a year now, and it has still not leaked on me yet.

I've seen them for sale at London Drugs, Popeyes, and places like GNC obviously.

There's a store in Empire Square (Where Hons used to be) that sells Vitamins and some Sports Nutrition, I got my Blender Bottle there for $4. Worth checking out ;)

some people would make the same arguement that cooking your steak destroys the protein too

Just to clarify, I think my post was confusing, sorry.

It's in Empire Square, in the mall, not where Hons used to be, but the square in where Hons used to be.

Oh, and be careful parking there, I've almost been hit by two seperate C-Lais backing out in one visit.

Hey sorry didn't see your post there.

Empire Square is in Richmond right by Parker Place.

It's in between No 3 Road and Hazelbridge Way where all those asian shopping centers are.

If you google map Parker Place, look down from it and it's where Shiang Garden is.

Picked up a blender bottle from Popeyes. $5, used two popeyes bucks to get it down to $3. Dude gave me $1 popeye buck coz he ran out of change and unloaded a bunch of dimes to me.

Yup Richmond one. All those guys there are super chill, I recommend it to everybody.

Is Carl the older bald guy? I know there's him, and like two other younger white guys who've helped me out in the past.

The blad guy is Carl. He is AWSOME!
This guy know's his stuff. I continue to buy my supplements locally rather then all online even though it's cheaper because of the knowledge that Carl has about training/diet/supplements.

Highly recommend anyone starting out in taking supplements to vist Popeye's in Richmond out, Carl along with another guy i think his name was T.J (or something) is a great help!

dumb question but is pricing at popeyes universal?

i understand they're a chain store, but i've never actually been inside one.

otherwise ill just grab one at london drugs

thanks!

they are owner operator i think, some times when i go to diff pop eyes that have diff pricing, i try and talk them down or ask if they can do buy one get one , most pop eyes have a price for buy one get one deal but they dont advertise it cause that is how they are going to make money
and also if u ever go on supp Canada, most of there sales revolve around that i think they are owned or have something to do with supp Canada
popeyes is good and one of the only supp stores i can walk in with have a normal talk with the workers, gnc is mostly dumb asses who have never lifted a weight in there life and try to sell you anything
my 2 cents

Picked one up today from Popeyes and I'm loving it so far. Always just used my shaker cups and this is a god send.

Too bad I didn't see this thread the other day when my lid opened mid shake and it went all over my office desk and laptop :fuuuuu:
