PRODUCT REVIEW: SMARTSHAKE

What is it?

Smartshake is a stackable “smart” container for food or drinks or both.  The original series includes 3 levels of storage.  The largest layer at the top holds 20 or 27 oz, depending on the size, and has a twist on lid with a flip top cover over the opening that seals it air tight.  In lieu of a traditional wire shaker ball, the Smartshake utilizes a snap on “power” mixer screen.  The smallest section in the middle comes with a removable organizer.  The third, bottom section is a little larger and can also be used for storage.

The Smart shake is made from a recycleable BPA free material, is dishwasher and microwave safe and food grade approved.  It currently comes in 9 interchangeable colors.

Where can I get it?

The Smartshake is available in over 90 countries and can be found at most major health stores.  You can also purchase your  SmartShake Original 27 oz. Gunsmoke Black Shaker Bottle on Amazon for around $10 + shipping.

Overall:  I am obsessed with my Smartshake.  I literally use it EVERY day!  I can pack my pre-workout, BCAA’s and protein powder all in one place to take to the gym.  Not to mention the fact that it comes apart for easy cleaning alone, makes it my go-to shaker bottle. Check out my sweet stacking technique right HERE.

I’ll admit I was really doubtful at first about the snap-on power mixer since I am one of those people with a dozen or so wire shaker balls in various shapes and sizes floating around my cabinets.  But I will say that I am pleasantly surprised how nicely the mixer…well, mixes. Bonus:  It is really nice not to hear that annoying shaker ball clanging around with every step I take around the gym, at least no clanging ball sounds from me anyway;)

Another great feature about this shaker is that this thing is durable.  I cannot tell you how man times I have dropped it or dropped something on it and it still looks brand new.   I go through shaker bottles pretty fast and I’m picky about durability.

I’ve thrown the Smartshake in the microwave with no issues to heat up soup.  I haven’t, however, tested it in the freezer because I simply haven’t had a reason to freeze anything in it, but I’m pretty sure it would be ok as well.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed my review…keep on, Smart-shakin!

Where can I get it?

Vasky, and all other MTS products, can be found at Tigerfitness.com

Overall:  When founder and CEO of MTS Nutrition, Marc Lobliner, created MTS Vasky he strived for a non-stim pump enhancer with little to no flavor.  And that is exactly what Vasky is!  A refreshing, smooth burst of power that doesn’t leave you jittery long after your workout.

This stuff is awesome!  You can take it alone or stacked with your favorite stimulant pump enhancer for an even higher burst of energy for those heavy lifting sessions.  I’ve personally used it both ways and saw a huge difference in my energy level and endurance.

I’m not sure if this is even an intentional perk of MTS Vasky, but I definitely noticed an increase in mental focus and memory.

With 30 servings per container and a price point of just $19.99 +shipping, Vasky is a home-run pre-workout for beginner/moderate athletes looking to take their program to the next level!
