That's been a real journey! I've bought so many over the years, each promising to be the best. Some leaked, some were impossible to clean, and others just fell apart after a few uses. Finding a durable and reliable protein shaker felt like an impossible task. My Protein Shaker Nightmare I went through what felt like an endless cycle of buying new protein shakers.
