One of the most popular motives of today’s households is to reduce waste and contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment around them. Most of the time, while remaining determined towards their goals, people often overlook the role of plastics in this operation. Plastics are the unsung heroes that play a significant role in this effort by offering durable, reusable, and recyclable options for everyday use, and this blog aims to explore those options for you from something as simple as BPA-free protein shakers.
To offer you creative solutions for your plastic containers, we have picked up protein shakers from Varmora Plastech, which are versatile and can serve you with a myriad of functions to use these bottles beyond protein shakes.
1. Mix Smoothies and Meal Replacement Drinks
While protein shakers are perfect for making shakes, they can also be used to blend smoothies and meal-replacement drinks. The tight seal and mixing balls make sure that all the ingredients are well mixed, creating a smooth and lump-free beverage for you. To enhance its taste, you can add fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and other ingredients, shake them up, and enjoy a nutritious meal replacement on the go.
How to Make a Quick Smoothie?
- To make a quick smoothie, add your preferred fruits, a handful of spinach to include nutrients, a scoop of protein powder of your choice, and a liquid base like milk or water.
- Make sure that the lid of the container is secured tightly.
- Shake the bottle vigorously.
Stop when you feel that your smoothie is ready to drink and enjoy a delicious and healthy smoothie made in minutes, especially for your busy mornings or as a post-workout snack.
2. Whip Up Pancake Batter
If you ever feel that preparing pancake batter is a hassle for you then here is a solution for you. Use our protein shakers by simply adding the pancake mix with water or milk and adding a few eggs to the shaker. Keep shaking until the batter feels smooth and pour the batter directly onto the griddle from the shaker which will minimize the mess and make sure that you make perfectly mixed pancakes.
Benefits of Using a Shaker for Batter
- It provides you with a lump-free mixture for your pancakes.
- Cut down the number of dishes you need to wash afterwards.
- The shaker’s easy-to-pour spout allows precise pouring, further reducing the mess.

3. Create Salad Dressings
Homemade salads often require vigorous shaking to mix the vegetables along with the other ingredients. A protein shaker is ideal for this task as it will help you shake the veggies along with the olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices that you have added to your salad. The mixing ball helps in combining thoroughly, resulting in a well-emulsified dressing that’s ready to pour over your salad.
Experiment with Flavors
- Add different oils, vinegar, and ingredients like mustard, honey, or garlic for varied flavours.
- Add fresh herbs, citrus zest, or flavoured oils to create unique and exciting dressings.
Since our shakers come with airtight seals, they allow you to store the homemade dressings for your salads in the refrigerators while keeping them fresh and flavourful.
4. Mix Iced Coffee or Matcha Lattes
If you love iced coffee or matcha latte, having a protein shaker is a must for you as it allows instant mixing of coffee or matcha powder with cold water or milk and offers a refreshing drink in seconds. The shaker ensures that the powder dissolves completely, thus providing you with a smooth and delicious drink.
Perfect for On-the-Go Beverages
Whether you are heading to work or the gym, this method is perfect for preparing your matcha lattes and coffees for you. You can quickly shake up your favourite drink and take it with you. The shaker keeps all the ingredients well mixed and prevents separation to make sure that the flavour remains consistent till the last sip.
