Shake It Like a Polaroid Picture

I’m a smoothie drinker.  So is my  husband.  We love the convenience and versatility of them.  However, sometimes I think cleaning out the blender is a royal pain.  Or maybe I’m just lazy.  Either way, I heard about a product from a friend, and was dying to try it, and perhaps rid my life of blender cleaning for good.  Enter the good people at Blender Bottle, particularly Russell (thank you!).

Blender Bottle is a blender and your smoothie container all in one.  Here’s some interesting things about Blender Bottle:

• Blender Bottle is reusable, helping reduce landfill waste, and conserve energy and oil.  It is made from recyclable plastics, which are FDA approved.
• The lid and flip cap and made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), which is recyclable.  The flip cap stays put so you don’t get it hitting you in the nose as you drink.
• The cup itself is made of Polypropylene (PP), which is also recyclable.
• The Blender Ball is made of Electropolished surgical grade steel, and won’t rust, chip or peel.  The Blender Ball is a lot like a whisk, which moves freely throughout the bottle, letting you mix whatever is inside with a few shakes.
• All parts are dishwasher safe.

Now that I’ve sounded like a commercial, it’s probably time to put the Blender Bottle to use!  It comes in 2 sizes and a ton of different colors.  There are also ounce and millimeter markings on the side, plus grips so it doesn’t slip when you shake it or hold it.

Your hint by the way?  The Blender Ball!

I let Solomon try it out first, since I’m such a nice wife.  He even took pictures of it, and I didn’t even ask him to! He’s pretty awesome, I think he should try being a blogger, what do you guys think?

So it looks like he had your standard milk, peanut butter, protein powder and banana smoothie.  He’s not always so daring.

With the Blender Ball in the bottle, he threw everything in there.

Then he shook it like a Polaroid picture…

Shake it, Shake, Shake it.

Shake it, Shake, Shake it.

There you have it, a delicious shake, minimal cleanup!

Fun, right?
