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.

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

Mixing Protein Powders

Is there a secret to mixing the powder with the liquid? And, how do I make it taste good?

The Turbo Shaker is perfect for mixing protein powders. In fact, it’s fin design allows you to mix the powder with the liquid thoroughly and evenly. Leaving you with a clump-free drink.

Simply,

• measure the powder into your Turbo Shaker
• add the liquid
• snap the lid securely on your Turbo Shaker
• shake for 30 seconds
• Perfect every time.

You can also store your protein drink in the Turbo Shaker. The shaker bottle is BPA-Free, PVC Free and Phthalate Free. So, you can prepare a drink ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.

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.

Let us know how your protein supplement routine is progressing. Give the Turbo Shaker a try, and share your favorite recipes with us.

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.

The protein shaker bottle comparison blog concluded that the Turbo Shaker was easier to use. And easier to clean.

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!

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.

Becoming lost in conversations about the vernal equinox, equilibrating day and night throughout the world, and the earth’s axis and increasing tilt, I decided I will simply tell them spring is a transition period that occurs toward the end of March when we go from being bundled up all winter long to getting ready to head outside and enjoy as many activities as the mind can imagine! Spring is not only a change in season, but a change in attitude!

People go from training in the gym or their garage, doing ab crunches on the couch while watching TV, Pilates on the bedroom floor, or family Wii night in the basement and begin riding bikes, walking in the development, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, playing sports…you name it…the transition is amazing and the TURBO SHAKER is an essential accessory for this on-the-go lifestyle! Whether making scrambled eggs after a quick morning run and trying to gobble down some food before work, or making a protein smoothie after ducking out for a lunch time work out, or simply relaxing with an adult beverage at the end of the day…the TURBO SHAKER should be a part of your every day living!

Australian made, BPA-Free and able to hold up to 25oz of liquid, the TURBO SHAKER is the perfect spring companion! Another benefit, is with its space age polymer coating, clean up is a snap! You can simply rinse out your TURBO SHAKER or throw it in the dishwasher and you are ready to head out the door and during the hectic spring time season, speed is essential!

I have listed some of the uses for the TURBO SHAKER during this Spring season, but many customers have told me of other uses that I had never thought of, so I would be interested to find out what unique uses you may have discovered for the TURBO SHAKER! Hopefully we will hear from you, but until then enjoy this Spring season, hope for some warmer weather and get outside and do something!
