Is this a suitable option as a 'shaker cup' to mix and shake health drinks in, like protein shakes?

Yes it is. It is very durable and cleans up well. You can definately use it as a shaker cup.

I used mine to make a protein shake. Vanilla Whey protein and water instead of milk.

It seems fine for pouring. I make smoothie every morning and pour into fairly small-mouthed cup with no problem. The smoothie also varies in thickness, which does not seem to matter.

Only if you are making the smoothies in a blender first..but you can easily use this to drink smoothies! (just not to make them)

It is very tasty for a protein mix. I mix 2 scoops with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of Vanilla Soy milk and it taste like a milkshake!

This is meant to be a travel mug or coffee cup for outside. There is no way to seal the drinking port to shake it with a health drink. It"s an elegant travel cup.

It would depend entirely on how thick the smoothie is. If you are talking about something as thick as a milk shake, it would probably not work (the straw is too narrow).

It works fine with water when using a shaker cup and has a pleasant taste. It's a richer drink when adding almond milk, yogurt, fruit, etc.

I used it as more of a fill in for when I had no access to 'real food' it's a bit thin to be a meal replacement as it's not as thick as a shake. It may fill you up depending on the situation but I have to say I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose. It's more to give you the nutrients you may be missing from not eating properly all the time. I hope this helps.

Yes, great tasting shake too and it is very thick too. Sometimes I put fruit in the vanilla one and blend it, or put diet soda in the chocolate one for a soda ... Love this product. Keeps you full, so supplement with one balanced meal per day and you'll lose weight.

I use mine for smoothies all the time! The shaker ball doesn't get in the way at all, but you could always take it out. Once I make my smoothie in a blender, I just pour it in and head out!

I mainly use it for my cold protein shakes and have not tried hot beverages, I'm sorry I couldn't help. I do love it for cold drinks and my shakes though:)

I have used a blender, a shaker, and even a milkshake blender. While the both blenders do end up with a slightly more creamy and airy end result, the shaker is plenty good. Really unless you are wanting to add ice or frozen fruit why dirty the blender AND a glass when you can just use a shaker.

Why of course, I usually use the ice feature button on the HealthMaster it gives it a jolt so the blades crushes everything nicely! You still want to add half -1 cup of liquid ie almond milk, coconut water, orange juice whatever you like. Enjoy your smoothies!

I wouldn't do that, personally. It has a strong taste (and color) that will permeate everything. IMO it's better to take it straight, with a small water chaser. It's not horribly awful, but probably not a flavor you'd want to spread out in a full protein shake.

Hi Karla, In order to make this breakfast shake pleasing to the tastebuds, you can add two measurements of flavoured shake to the protein. The shake mix is sold separately from the protien and it could be a bit costly. If too expensive , you can add fruits to make the nutrition mix more fulling and to enhance its taste.This is a very pleasing drink if mixed appropriately. This supplement includes flavours such as dutch chocolate, cookies n cream etc.

I don't think I would ever use a whisk... and I use this thing for a lot of stuff. I make protein drink smoothies, even with ice, although I've heard that crushing ice may shorten the life of the blender. I make salad dressings and puree my husband's soups right in his soup mug. I've mashed potatoes with it, but I like my potatoes pretty stiff and it labored a bit with that job. It's not an all-purpose tool, it's great at what it does, but I still need a mixer. But... probably not a stand blender. I love it cuz I can zoom together my protein drink, whir it around in a mug with a little soapy water in it, run it under the faucet, and it goes back in the drawer.
