Make a Protein Shake Without a Blender
Can You Make a Protein Shake Without a Blender?
Yes, you can make a protein shake without a blender.
You have several easy options, and the best one depends on the tools you have on hand.
The easiest way is to use a Shaker Bottle, which is a plastic bottle with a small metal whisk inside.
The whisk breaks up clumps of protein powder as you shake.
If you do not have a shaker bottle, you could use a handheld Electric Mixer.
It has a spinning whisk that helps your protein powder dissolve.
If you do not have a blender, shaker bottle, or handheld electric mixer, you can use a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
How to Make a Protein Shake in a Jar
To make a protein shake without a blender, mix protein powder with milk or water in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Instructions:
1. Add 1 serving of protein powder to the jar.
2. Pour in your liquid of choice. The amount depends on how thick you like your shake. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
3. Screw on the lid securely and shake the jar hard for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Check the consistency. If it is too thick, add more liquid and shake again.
5. Once you are happy with the consistency, remove the lid and enjoy your protein shake from the jar or pour it into a glass.
Making a protein shake in a jar might not give you the same smooth texture as a blender, but it does work.
In case you were wondering, adding fruit, yogurt, nut butter, and other ingredients to your protein shake is more challenging, but still possible using this method.
Simply chop the solid ingredients into small pieces, add a few ice cubes, and shake for an extra minute.
Ideally, you would use soft fruits like raspberries.
Mashing the fruit with a fork before adding it to your shake can help speed up the process.
This is an imperfect solution, but it works in a pinch.

Frequently asked questions
Who Is Drink Wholesome for?
Drink Wholesome makes protein powder for sensitive stomachs, GERD, IBS, and other gut issues. It’s suitable for most food sensitivities, including lactose intolerance, and won’t cause side effects like bloating, constipation, and reflux.
Why Is Drink Wholesome Good for Sensitive Stomachs?
Drink Wholesome is the best protein powder for sensitive stomachs because it’s additive, dairy, and gluten-free. It’s also made from minimally-processed protein sources like egg whites and almonds. Other protein powders are made from ultra-processed protein concentrates and isolates, which look nothing like real food.
What’s the Difference Between Protein Powder and Meal Replacement Powder?
Drink Wholesome makes gut-friendly Protein Powders and Meal Replacement Powders. Protein powder is high in protein and low in everything else, whereas meal replacement powder contains fats, carbs, fiber, and protein because it’s intended to replace the nutritional value of a balanced meal.
What’s the Difference Between Almond, Collagen, and Egg White Protein?
We make three types of stomach-friendly Protein Powder: Collagen Protein Powder, Egg White Protein Powder, and Vegan Almond Protein Powder. As long as you get protein from a variety of sources, any type of protein can help you meet your total daily protein needs. In other words, for someone with a balanced diet, there is no advantage to consuming one type of protein over another. Order Samples to see which type you like the most.
