We believe in the Turbo Shaker, and are quite proud of its fin technology, however, it’s always nice to hear what other’s have to say about our shaker bottle.
Derek Howes, an NCAA accredited personal trainer, and publisher of the blog site I Was Lazy, recently reviewed the Turbo Shaker. He tested it by making pancake mix, mixed drinks and protein shakes, and found that its design worked extremely well at blending all of the ingredients.
The seal is the best seal out of any other shaker I’ve had.
Building the relationship with fitness and health has become a national movement directed towards our youth. The President’s Council on Physical Fitness recommends 30 minutes of physical activity each day.
In its effort to encourage an active and healthy youth, and reverse the trend of childhood obesity, the NFL promotes their NFL Play 60 campaign. They encourage kids to stay active for 60 minutes a day.
The First Lady, Michelle Obama, recently lead a group of children in one minute of jumping jacks. This was an attempt to set a Guinness World Record. More than 20,000 people around the world would need to do jumping jacks for one minute in order to set the record.
Physical activity is an important element in our daily lives, right? We feel better after we exercise and know the valuable role it plays on our health. The cardiovascular benefits have been well documented.
A recent study reported on in Science Daily, concluded that higher levels of physical exercise have a long-term beneficial impact on low ocular perfusion pressure (OPP), an important risk factor for glaucoma. Exercise is good for our eyes!
The study, published in the journal “Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science,” examined 5,650 men and women aged 48 to 90 who live in the UK. Over the period of 2006 to 2010, participants were assessed for combined physical activity at work and leisure using a detailed self-administered health and lifestyle questionnaire.
“It appears that OPP is largely determined by cardiovascular fitness,” said author Paul J. Foster, MD PhD, FRCS(Ed), of the University College London Institute of Ophthalmology. “We cannot comment on the cause, but there is certainly an association between a sedentary lifestyle and factors which increase glaucoma risk.”
No matter what your age, young or old, the benefits of daily exercise are phenomenal.
Are you new to the whole protein powder supplement routine? If so, you’re most likely struggling with mixing protein powders. You’ve tried mixing in a cup with a spoon? How’d that turn out? Clumpy? Yes, we know from experience.
Protein Powders
First of all, congratulation. Protein powders are ideal for post-workout recovery. Experts agree that protein is essential for muscle recovery and growth. Protein is one of the body’s main building blocks for muscle, bone, skin and other tissues. And protein shakes are an easy way to get the protein your body needs.
“A study of 130 U.S. Marines looked at intense exercisers who supplemented their diet with 10 g of protein, 8 g of carbohydrates, and 3 g of fat. They had fewer infections, less heat exhaustion, and less muscle soreness.” Source, WebMD

Protein Powder Recipes
As for tasting good, feel free to experiment with add-ins. We like adding cinnamon to our vanilla flavored shake. But there are many great recipes. Some prefer using pineapple juice, while others prefer adding fruit.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and to honor the cause and help find a cure, Active Ventures Unlimited, makers of the Turbo Shaker, will donate $1 from every Turbo Shaker with Pink Lid order we receive during the month of October.
The Turbo Shaker was recently reviewed by Cyndi at BCUZ Shopping. Her shopping blog is devoted to finding great products online and sharing those discoveries with her readers. We appreciate her Turbo Shaker review and totally agree with her recommendation!
Turbo Shaker Review
In her post entitled “Protein Shaker Bottle Comparison,” she compares the BlenderBottle to the Turbo Shaker. We thought the Turbo Shaker review was fair. She used both blender cups to mix a chocolate powdered protein drink, and while she does state that both the Turbo Shaker and the BlenderBottle work well for mixing the powdered drink, she also points out the major difference between the two.
The Turbo Shaker is unique in that the mechanism for mixing your ingredients is built in to the bottle itself. The fins are located on the bottom of the shaker and on its lid. The Turbo Shaker, as pointed out in the review, “Protein Shaker Bottle Comparison,” does not require an added wire mixing ball.
Key Benefits
We here at TurboShaker.com know the benefits of the Turbo Shaker and appreciate the nice review by Cyndi at BCUZ Shopping.
What makes cleaning the Turbo Shaker bottle so easy? Well, we use a space age polymer coating on the inside of the cup, that’s why. It’s also dishwasher safe, and because it is manufactured from medical grade plastic, you can be assured of a tight seal even after dozens of cycles in a high temperature dishwasher.
It’s also BPA-Free, PVC Free and Phthalate Free!
It’s funny that she mentioned the wire ball fitting nicely down the garbage disposal, we’ve actually heard customers say that exact thing!

We hear from many fitness enthusiasts excited to share their experience with the Turbo Shaker bottle.
Angie Christine, of TuffPhit.com, recently posted a great review of the Turbo Shaker. She was introduced to the Turbo Shaker blender while attending the Arnold Expo in March. In addition to its use as a protein powder mixer, she personally saw the benefit of using the Turbo Shaker to make scrambled eggs. As she puts it, “simply crack your eggs and shake.”
Angie shares her personal story about weight gain, a battle against breast cancer, and her commitment to staying healthy and fit on her blog. She is truly an inspiration and a shining example of the benefits of a positive attitude.
We thank Angie for sharing her successes with the Turbo Shaker and enjoy following her fitness journey through her Tuff Phit blog.
So here we are April 16th, in theory, the 25th day of spring, although the temperatures we have seen surely would not lead one to believe that!…Harry Chapin, one of the greatest singer/story tellers, ever, wrote a song in which March 21st was the first day of spring, so I’m always confused when March 20th is the first day of spring (like it was this year!). I figured someday one of my 2 children would ask me what day is the first day of spring and why does it change, so I did a little research…
