How do I use my shaker?

Using a shaker is generally straightforward, but it depends on the type of drink you're making.

Whether it's a Boston shaker or another type of shaker, here are a few tips on how to use a shaker:

Prepare your ingredients: Gather all the ingredients you need to make your drink. This could include protein powder, liquids, fruit, ice cubes, etc., depending on the recipe you're following.

Pour the ingredients into the shaker. Open the shaker lid and add the ingredients. Make sure you follow the proportions recommended in your recipe. If your shaker has measuring marks, use them for accurate dosing.

Insert the ball or sieve: Most shakers come with a stainless steel ball or sieve to make mixing easier. Make sure the ball is properly seated or the sieve is properly seated in the lid.

Close the shaker properly. Close the shaker lid, making sure it's securely fastened to prevent leakage during mixing.

Shake the shaker. Shake the shaker vigorously for a few moments. The ball or sieve will help to mix the ingredients evenly.

Open the shaker carefully to release the pressure, especially if you have added carbonated or sparkling ingredients.

Pour your drink into a glass and enjoy!

Clean the shaker. Once you've enjoyed your drink, take the shaker apart and clean it. Most shakers can be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand.

Note that these steps may vary slightly depending on the type of shaker you have. Also check your shaker manufacturer's instructions or suggestions for best use.
