Shark Tank superfans may recognize this shaker bottle. The Ice Shaker’s key feature is its insulated stainless steel interior, which keeps it from retaining smells and also keeps your drink cold for 30 hours. It includes a twist-off agitator and an easy open pop top, which reviewers confirm doesn’t leak. As far as shaker bottles go though, it’s not cheap. But if you’re looking to invest in one that will last years, the Ice Shaker is a good bet.

Somehow (we don’t know how) ShakeSphere has designed a shaker bottle that doesn’t include a mixing ball or mesh grid to blend your clumpiest of supplements and even fruits with your liquid base. Bu that doesn’t mean it’s not good. “Believe the hype,” says one reviewer. “As soon as it arrived, I decided to put in the most clumping cocktail I could think of into this little guy.” The recipe? Whey protein, psyllium husk, peanut butter powder, and a banana. “Gave it a shake 15 times like in the video, and yep, absolutely no clumping.” You’ll pay for it though: ShakeSphere tumblers cost more than double the price of other plastic shaker bottles on this list.

For the smoothest of smooth protein shakes, you might want to upgrade to an electric bottle. “This blender is so awesome—everyone at the gym asks me about it!” says one reviewer. “No more shaking like a maniac to get the protein powder to mix properly.

I use sonic ice so I can munch on it on my way to work.

How genius is this? BlenderBottle created this shaker bottle with a built-in supplement storage system.

The biggest downside of plastic shaker bottles is that, if not cleaned quickly and thoroughly, they can soak in the smells of previous protein shakes. I’ll-do-the-dishes-later types may want to upgrade to glass for just that reason. This Ello shaker bottle includes measurement marks as well as a silicone sleeve that’ll ensure you can grip it even with sweaty hands. And, best of all, no lingering smells. Take it from this reviewer: “If you are lazy/forgetful like me, and have ever left your protein bottle in the car overnight, you know how terrible the smell of old protein dregs can be,” they say. “I am pleased to report I have forgotten this bottle at my desk at work, come in the next morning, cleaned with dish soap and a bottle brush, and it retains absolutely zero smell. Finally!”
