How to Make Your Shaker Bottle Last Longer

 

You can take the following steps to ensure that your blender bottle lasts longer.

 

Avoid Microwaving the Blender /Shaker Bottle

 

Shaker bottles are microwave-safe. However, it isn’t advisable to use them in the microwave. First, they come with blender bottle lids that you screw on to avoid spills. When you place the bottle in the microwave, the pressure will build and the lid might pop off spilling your contents everywhere.  Apart from making a mess, this is detrimental to the lids in the long run.

 

If you have the stainless steel insulated bottle, you should not place it in the microwave as well. In general, it is better to prepare your liquid at your preferred temperature before pouring it into the bottle for mixing.

 

Wash After Use

 

Blender bottles are mostly used for protein shakes and smoothies. These provide your body with the nutrients it needs. However, mixing different recipes without washing your bottle can distort the desired taste. It is important to wash the bottle and Shaker bottle lids after every use. This helps to maintain the integrity of your recipes. It also helps to avoid the long-lasting odors that might form as a result of mixing so many things together (except you are using a protein shaker bottle made out of stainless steel).

You should find a way to protect the bottle and the blender bottle lids from unnecessary collisions, wear and tear. You can buy a silicone sleeve to help with grip. This will ensure that the bottle serves you for a longer period of time.
