HELIMIX 2.0 Vortex Blender Shaker Bottle Holds upto 28oz | No Blending Ball or Whisk | USA Made | Portable Pre Workout Whey Protein Drink Shaker Cup | Mixes Cocktails Smoothies Shakes | Top Rack Safe

My Helmix 2.0 Vortex Blender Shaker Bottle arrived this afternoon and I was anxious to give it a try. Here is my first experimental recipe: * Dairy Milk (filled to desired level) * 1/4 cup strawberry yogurt * 1 scoop strawberry Orgain Plant Based Protein Powder * 1 scoop vanilla Orgain Grass Fed Whey Powder * 1/4 cup organic raw instant oatmeal (This can also be in powdered form) * 1 tsp almond powder * 1 tsp pumpkin seed powder * 1 tsp vanilla powder * 1 TBS raw unfiltered honey After shaking the contents in the Helmix Vortex Blender Shaker for less than 10 seconds everything blended together perfectly. There were no lumps or clumps. And, the smoothie was delicious. I chose the larger bottle size because this allows for more open inner space for shaking and complete blending of the ingredients. I will continue to use this amazing Helmix Vortex Shaker whenever I need a quick pick-me-up smoothie that requires ingredients that consists of only liquids and powders. The clean up was fast and easy. However, this should be done according to the directions. If you are using ingredients that contain oils, (e.g. chia seeds, flax seeds, peanut butter) it would be helpful with clean up procedures to wash the vortex bottle right after using. This is because the dried oils will harden in the vortex creases, making the cup harder to clean. The snap lid that covers the drinking spout fits tightly so that it doesn't prop open while shaking. However, because I'm 87 years old I found it somewhat difficult to open but still doable. People who have arthritis in their hands might find this maneuver unmanageable. I found the Helmix Vortex Blender Shaker Bottle to be very sturdy and nothing leaked whatsoever. And, the design is beautiful. Overall, I consider the Helmix 2.0 Vortex Blender Shaker Bottle to be an amazing product of science technology. So, I will give this vortex shaker 5 super big stars with happy faces. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

I’ve been using this for about two months now, and I can say that I will never return to the typical ball-in-bottle shaker. This thing is amazing - there are absolutely no leaks, and my protein blends smoothly every single time. I have not had any clumps or grit, and the bottle itself is feels pretty darn rugged. This was money well spent.

BEST SHAKER EVER! Works better than any ball type shaker. No crazy ball to chase and try to keep clean. Mixes in about 15 seconds even with peanut butter and protein powder!

I used to use BlenderBottle sports, but they changed the spout closure so I went looking for a different bottle. This one is awesome for my purposes. I used it to mix up creatine powder and a fiber supplement in orange juice and water. I haven't had issues getting my stuff to mix in any shaker bottle, but this bottle mixes it well without the need for a spring mixer ball. I like that it's made of a sturdy material. The spout closure snaps securely into place (and you can hear/feel it snap). My only small complaint is that it doesn't fit easily into a drink sleeve in my shoulder bag, but you can't have it all. It's also a bit expensive compared to other models out there, but you do get a better quality product for the extra cost.

This is an update. I originally was less than pleased with the shaker bottle; if you read below you’ll find that my bottle leaked - badly. The manufacturer reached out to me and kindly offered to send a replacement item which - after two weeks of use now - has performed leak-free. The lid screws down much more smoothly and the cover on the drinking spout clicks firmly closed with little effort (neither of these actions were smooth in the earlier, flawed item). As I said, to date I have been leak-free. The bottles - old and new - both admirably perform for mixing whey powder and other additives into my drinks, and I am pleased to have one that is leakproof now. I still don’t see the kind of “100%” mixing that is hinted at in the product advertisement, but it is still much better than I have ever achieved using a “wire ball” shaker. Usually the unmixed portion is just a few bits clinging to the inside of the lid or bottle (I’d call it “99% mixing”). Earlier review: As a mixing bottle, this actually does do a pretty decent job - not 100% mixing of powders, but pretty good overall, and better than any of the "wire ball" shakers I have used in the past. The downside is the incessant leaking; when shaken, it leaks around the threads and around the snap-spout. If they could have designed the lid better to prevent leaks, it would really be a great product. As it is, well, just don't shake up your protein drinks in a carpeted area, or near furniture, or around electronics...

Mixes protein shakes every day. Minimal clumps and NO shaker whisk to clean. 10/10. Follow the instructions...liquid first, THEN powder. Bought 2 more to have in the rotation.

Was choosing between a traditional shaker with a metal ball and this one with the vortex mixing design. Went with Helimix and glad I did. Got the bigger size so I can make 400ml shakes — fills about half the bottle, which gives enough room to mix properly. I pour milk first, then add a scoop of protein. About 10 shakes and it's completely smooth, no clumps. Best part — super easy to clean. Just rinse with water right after drinking and you're done. No ball to lose, no weird corners where powder gets stuck. Simple, works great, easy to clean. Exactly what a shaker should be.

I’ve used this for 2 months now and it is a very good shaker, to respond to some of the negative reviews I read before I bought it, the shaker can get bits of powder stuck in the bottom corners but is not a problem to remove if you have a dishwasher or sprayer on your sink. The bottle can leak but ONLY if the threads are not dry, a quick wipe of both the cap and the bottle threads will make it seal perfectly. It is very easy to carry, a little higher in price but still a good deal. The one downside I’ve found is, you have to shake it for quite a while if you use 2 scoops with milk, water shakes very easily
