For patients who like to use protein powder and make protein shakes, one tool that they and I have found to be useful is a "blender ball" bottle. While "blender ball" is a particular brand, you could honestly use any similar type product that works for you. A "blender ball" bottle is typically a bottle with a screw on lid that comes with a little metal whisk-like ball. With the ball in the bottle, you basically pour in the amount of desired liquid, such as water, and then your powder. It also has numbers on one side in case you have a specific amount you need for your shake. You then make sure the closed lid is on securely and shake the bottle until all the ingredients are mixed completely and you get the desired consistency. This tool is handy because you don't have to fumble with a spoon to mix your ingredients together. You can just put them in the bottle, screw the lid on, and shake to mix it as you go.
