How Often Should You Wash Your Shaker Cup?

Sure, this seems like a legitimate question and one I have had myself. I've thought how often do I need to clean this bad-boy with soap and water as opposed to just rinsing it with warm water.

Rules of thumb for how often you should wash your shaker bottle:

• Wash / rinse with soapy water at least once per day
• Wash / rinse with soapy water every time after mixing protein powder or anything with milk
• Do not put cover back on your shaker after washing - let it air dry until your next use

What?? Every day?? If you are a lazy bum...Here is a little trick

If you have problems with your shaker bottle stinking or are just too lazy to use soap every time, follow the steps below to save yourself a little time:

1. Rinse your shaker cup out with warm water until all visible remnants are whisked away
2. Dry it with a paper towel
3. Place cover on and place in the freezer - This will slow any remaining bacteria in your cup from decomposing and smelling rotten.

If you are like me and use your shaker all day long for amino acids, pre workout, post-workout, protein, and sipping water throughout the day, you should still give it a good washing at the end of the day to prevent bacteria from growing keep yourself from getting sick!
