There’s an old saying: ‘Don’t reinvent the wheel.’ It simply means not wasting time and effort creating something that already exists.
This metaphor holds particularly true in the world of protein shakers, where brands often release nearly identical products, differing little apart from the branding on the side.
Granted, there have been some minor advancements, such as the electronic stirrer. However, while it was a novel idea, anyone who has used one knows it struggles to break through any decent scoop of protein.
And so it seemed the humble protein shaker had reached the peak of its evolution. I mean, why try to fix something that isn’t broken, right? Well, that assumption turned out to be wrong.
FORME has achieved the impossible, not only reinventing the wheel but vastly improving it. Dubbed the Tesla of protein shakers, we simply had to put it to the test. Now, let’s see how we got on, shall we?
The Ultimate Protein Shaker
In my decade of lifting weights, the whole excitement about using a protein shaker never quite clicked for me. It’s more like a sidekick, just there to provide for what’s inside.
Honestly, I’ve had a bit of a hate-hate relationship with most of the shakers I’ve owned. Either they’ve leaked or ended up smelling so nasty that I had to toss them out.
The FORME shaker reverses that dynamic. It’s not just a looker; it swoops in and wipes out all those annoying gym gripes we’ve been putting up with forever.
It’s like FORME rounded up a bunch of inventors, threw them in a room, and said, ‘You’re not leaving until each of you drops a game-changing feature.’
While we’re on the subject, let’s talk about some of those features, starting with my personal favourite: built in storage.
Much like a gadget straight out of James Bond’s arsenal, the FORME shaker boasts a covert compartment. However, instead of harbouring a lethal dose of cyanide, this secret chamber discreetly holds up to 35g of supplements or snacks.
And for all of us who’ve accidentally turned our car boots into a protein powder war zone while fumbling with a scoop on the go: a heartfelt thank you.
I used it to store my post-workout dose of whey, and my god was I grateful for it after a gruelling leg day.
Beneath that storage haven lies a silicone base that puts an end to the obnoxious thud protein shakers often bring to dining tables.
You may not be in a rush to set your shaker down, but when you do, it’s going to be a soft, silent, and utterly satisfying affair.
Talking about unpleasant sounds, say farewell to the rattle of whisk balls as well. I’m all for a bit of ASMR, but the clang of a metal ball bouncing around inside a protein shaker definitely doesn’t make the cut for relaxing frequencies.
One of my major pet peeves with protein shakers is their relentless tendency to leak. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve felt a dribble down the back of my hand while blending a scoop of my favourite formula.
It’s downright off-putting, and no one should have to resort to public self-licking just to avoid the mess. The FORME shaker comes complete with a leakproof lid that actually works. Can I get a Hallelujah from the people at the back?
Plus, neatly tucked underneath is a concealed drinking lip that’s not only hygienic but also much more natural to drink from than a cylindrical spout.
Wait, there’s more? You bet there is. With internal volume markings making it significantly easier to gauge the water, and its thoughtful design ensures the FORME shaker fits snugly in my rucksack pocket, bike bottle cage, and the cupholder in my car.
Last but certainly not least, the stainless steel body kept my water refreshingly cold during my gym sessions. After all, who wants a lukewarm chocolate shake? Definitely not me.
I’m not going to pull any punches with my closing thoughts on this one. You absolutely need a FORME protein shaker in your life. No other shaker on the market even comes close.
