Muscleape gym shakers cover bullet-style plastic bottles in 500 ml and 750 ml and a 750 ml stainless steel shaker. All are made for mixing protein, pre-workout, BCAAs and electrolytes without lumps, and for surviving being thrown in a gym bag daily. Free shipping across India, 30-day no-questions-asked returns.

Plastic or stainless steel — which should you buy?

If your last shaker started smelling permanently of old protein, steel is the fix — plastic absorbs odour compounds over time and steel does not.

How to stop a shaker smelling

• Rinse it immediately after use. Protein residue left for hours in a warm gym bag is what causes permanent odour, and this single habit prevents most of it.
• Wash with warm soapy water and leave the lid off to dry — sealing a damp shaker traps moisture and grows bacteria.
• For a deep clean, soak overnight with warm water and a spoon of baking soda, or a little white vinegar.
• Disassemble the lid and clean the seal and spout separately — that is where residue hides.

Frequently asked questions

What size shaker should I buy?

500 ml suits a single protein serving mixed with water. 750 ml gives room for larger servings, mass gainers, intra-workout drinks, or protein plus extra water — and room to shake properly, which is what actually prevents lumps.

Are steel shakers better than plastic?

For odour and durability, yes. Steel does not absorb smells and dents rather than cracking. Plastic is lighter, cheaper and lets you see the contents. Both mix equally well.

How do you get lumps out of a protein shake?

Add the liquid first, then the powder, and leave air space in the bottle. Shake hard for 20–30 seconds rather than a few flicks. Powder added to an almost-full bottle has nowhere to disperse.

Are these leakproof?

The lids are designed to seal for normal gym-bag carrying. As with any shaker, check the lid is fully engaged and that the seal is seated correctly after washing.
