Ever taken a sip from your shaker and noticed that lingering plastic taste? You’re not imagining it. Plastic shakers tend to absorb smells, stain easily, and can make your drink taste a bit off. If you're serious about your nutrition and hydration, it might be time to switch things up. Stainless steel is a far better option when it comes to taste and hygiene, and here’s why.
Plastic shakers are notorious for trapping odours over time. No matter how well you clean them, the remnants of past shakes seem to stick around. Stainless steel, on the other hand, doesn’t hold onto smells, so every drink tastes as fresh as it should—whether you’re having a protein shake or a meal replacement.
Beyond just taste, hygiene is another big advantage. Unlike plastic, which can have tiny crevices where bacteria build up, stainless steel is non-porous and much easier to clean. That means no lingering germs or unwanted residue in your drink, just a consistently clean and safe shaker every time.
Then there’s temperature control. If you enjoy a cold shake post-workout or a warm drink on the go, a double-insulated stainless steel shaker makes all the difference. Plastic does little to maintain temperature, but stainless steel keeps your drink at the perfect level for longer—no more lukewarm shakes halfway through a session.
Durability is another factor worth considering. Plastic shakers tend to stain and wear out over time, especially when exposed to flavoured drinks or pre-workout powders. Stainless steel doesn’t have this problem—it stays looking sleek and doesn’t crack or warp like plastic can.
From an environmental perspective, stainless steel is also a smarter choice. If you’re looking to cut down on waste, investing in a durable shaker means fewer replacements, which is better for both your wallet and the planet.
At Beyond Shakers, we’ve designed our double-insulated stainless steel shakers to keep your drinks fresh, odour-free, and at the right temperature for longer. Whether you’re mixing a post-workout shake, a meal replacement, or just staying hydrated throughout the day, it’s a switch worth making.
In the end, your drink should taste like it’s meant to—not like last week’s leftovers. A stainless steel shaker isn’t just a small upgrade; it’s a game changer for your daily routine.
