Factors to Consider When Choosing a Blender for Protein Shakes
Power & Speed: Aim for 600–900W and high RPM for fine texture. Capacity: 16–28 oz serves single portions; multiple cups add convenience. Blades: Stainless-steel cross blades build a smooth vortex. Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe or self-clean modes save time. Battery vs. Corded: Corded = consistent power; battery = mobility.

FAQs
Can I blend hot ingredients?
Allow liquids to cool below 140°F and leave headroom to prevent pressure buildup.
How long do protein shakes stay fresh?
Up to ~12 hours if kept cold and sealed; for dairy-based shakes, consume sooner for best taste.
Are blades dishwasher-safe?
Most are top-rack safe. Detach the blade assembly and avoid harsh detergents.
