Hey guys, I have noticed, on the labels of my creatine, weight gainer and whey protein it always says best mixed with a blender.

I never do this, I just stick it all in a glass with water or milk, mix it up a bit and down it.

Is this good to e doing? There are always loads of lumps of powder in there still and I just swallow them all in one.

I was thinking maybe its better to be blended up so that more protein can be absorbed or somthing?

Any thoughts on this would be very helpful,

Many Thanks,

From Alex :)

Invest into a shaker bottle with a screen on the top, works great and no clumps.

get the "blender bottle" shaker. it's the best one...it's durable, made of thick plastic so it doesn't get smelly from the protein seeping in, and it comes with a metal ball in the middle that helps grind up those clumps.

What kind of creatine and protein are you using? Quality ones will not clump as much.

If you need something convient, go to the store, buy one of those "Pom Wonderful black tea" drinks, it has a glass container with a wide lid and it holds a good amount of liquid.
