Shop Bottles & Shakers at Myprotein
Whether you're mixing protein shakers at the gym or keeping hydrated during a long run, having the right bottle makes all the difference. Myprotein's range of bottles and shakers combines practical design with durable materials, giving you leak-proof, easy-to-clean options that fit into any gym bag or backpack.
From classic plastic shakers with mixing balls to insulated metal bottles that keep drinks cold for hours, there's a style to match every training routine. Each one's designed to handle daily use without cracking, staining, or holding onto odours, so you can focus on your workout rather than wrestling with your gear.
Who Should Try These
These bottles and shakers work for anyone who needs reliable hydration or supplement mixing on the go. Gym-goers appreciate the leak-proof lids and wide mouths that make cleaning straightforward, whilst runners and cyclists value the lightweight designs that fit standard bottle cages and cup holders.
If you're mixing protein powders, greens supplements, or pre-workout formulas regularly, a dedicated shaker bottle with a mixing mechanism prevents clumps and delivers smooth consistency every time. Meanwhile, sports water bottles suit anyone who simply wants to track their daily water intake without constantly refilling a smaller container.
When to Use Bottles & Shakers
Keep a shaker bottle in your gym bag for mixing post-workout protein or pre-session supplements. The built-in mixing ball or grid breaks down powder quickly, giving you a smooth drink within seconds of shaking. Many people prep their shaker with powder before leaving home, then add water at the gym for maximum freshness.
Use a sports water bottle throughout the day to maintain hydration levels during training, commuting, or desk work. The larger capacity means fewer refills, whilst measurement markings help you track intake. Insulated metal versions keep cold drinks chilled during summer sessions or hot beverages warm on winter morning runs.
Bottles & Shakers Benefits
Leak-Proof Design
Secure screw-top lids and flip caps prevent spills in bags and backpacks. Reinforced seals keep liquids contained even when bottles are tossed into crowded gym bags alongside towels and trainers, protecting electronics and clothing from moisture damage.
Easy Cleaning
Wide mouths allow full access for washing by hand or loading into dishwashers. Smooth interior surfaces resist staining and odour absorption, whilst detachable mixing mechanisms come apart completely for thorough cleaning between uses.
Durable Materials
BPA-free plastic options offer lightweight portability without chemical concerns, whilst stainless steel versions provide impact resistance and temperature retention. Both materials withstand daily use without cracking, warping, or degrading over time.
Practical Capacity Options
Standard 600-700ml shakers suit single protein servings, whilst larger 1-litre bottles accommodate extended training sessions or higher fluid requirements. Mini shakers fit easily into smaller bags or pockets for convenient supplement transport when travelling light.

FAQs
What's the difference between a shaker bottle and a water bottle?
Shaker bottles include mixing mechanisms like balls or grids that break down protein powder and supplements into smooth, lump-free drinks. Water bottles have simpler designs focused purely on hydration, without internal mixing components.
Both types feature leak-proof lids and durable construction, but shakers typically have wider mouths to accommodate powder scoops and thorough cleaning, whilst water bottles may prioritise streamlined shapes for easier carrying during runs or cycles.
How do I clean protein shakers to prevent odours?
Rinse shakers immediately after use to prevent protein residue from drying onto surfaces. Wash with warm soapy water, paying attention to the lid threads and mixing ball, then leave components separated to air dry completely.
For stubborn odours, soak overnight in a solution of bicarbonate of soda and water, or run dishwasher-safe models through a hot cycle. Avoid leaving wet shakers sealed, as trapped moisture creates ideal conditions for bacterial growth that causes persistent smells.
Are metal shakers better than plastic ones?
Metal shakers offer superior insulation, keeping drinks cold for several hours, and they resist staining and odour absorption more effectively than plastic. However, they're heavier and typically cost more upfront.
Plastic shakers provide lightweight portability at lower prices, making them practical for multiple locations like gym lockers, car storage, and office desks. The transparent design also lets you monitor mixing progress and remaining liquid levels at a glance.
Can I use gym bottles for hot drinks?
Insulated metal bottles designed with double-wall construction safely hold hot beverages like coffee or tea, maintaining temperature whilst preventing exterior surfaces from becoming too hot to handle. Check manufacturer specifications to confirm heat tolerance.
Standard plastic shakers aren't suitable for boiling liquids, as high temperatures can warp the material and compromise structural integrity. Reserve these for cold or room-temperature drinks like protein shakes, water, or cordials.
How much liquid do standard shaker bottles hold?
Most standard shakers range from 600-750ml capacity, accommodating typical protein servings of 25-30g powder mixed with 300-500ml liquid, leaving room for thorough shaking without overflow. This size fits comfortably in gym bag side pockets and car cup holders.
Larger 1-litre options suit those with higher fluid requirements or multiple supplement servings, whilst mini shakers around 400-500ml work for lighter users or those prioritising compact storage in smaller bags.
Do I need a mixing ball or is shaking enough?
Mixing balls significantly improve consistency by physically breaking apart powder clumps as you shake. The stainless steel ball bounces through the liquid, creating turbulence that ensures even distribution and smooth texture.
Whilst vigorous shaking alone can mix some supplements, denser powders like certain proteins or greens blends often leave lumps without mechanical assistance. The ball makes mixing faster and more thorough, particularly important when preparing drinks quickly between training sets.
Can shaker bottles go in the dishwasher?
Most plastic and metal Myprotein bottles are dishwasher-safe, but always check product-specific care instructions before loading. Place components on the top rack away from direct heating elements to prevent warping or seal damage.
Hand washing extends the lifespan of seals and printed designs, particularly on bottles used daily. A quick rinse immediately after use followed by proper washing prevents protein buildup that dishwashers sometimes struggle to remove from narrow lid threads.
Who developed Myprotein's bottle and shaker range?
Myprotein's expert nutritionists and product development team designed these bottles and shakers based on feedback from athletes, gym-goers, and everyday supplement users. The range reflects practical requirements like leak-proof seals, easy cleaning, and durable materials that withstand daily training routines.
What size bottle suits endurance training?
Endurance sessions lasting 90 minutes or longer benefit from 1-litre capacity bottles that reduce refill frequency. Larger volumes ensure adequate hydration throughout extended runs, cycles, or outdoor activities where water sources aren't readily available.
Consider insulated metal versions for summer training, as they maintain cool temperatures even when bottles sit in direct sunlight. The added weight of a full litre becomes negligible once you're focused on performance rather than carrying convenience.
How do measurement markings help with supplement use?
Clear markings in millilitres or fluid ounces let you portion liquids accurately without separate measuring jugs. This ensures consistent supplement-to-water ratios, maintaining intended taste and mixability across every serving.
Transparent bottle designs make these markings visible even when filled with opaque protein shakes or coloured pre-workout drinks. Accurate measurement also helps track daily fluid intake, supporting hydration goals alongside supplement nutrition.
