When it comes to shaker cups, most people may not know what a shaker cup is, but sports and fitness enthusiasts should all know it. The shaker cup is a water cup used to prepare protein powder. Its greatest use is that it can combine protein powder evenly at low temperatures, which provides great convenience to people who often supplement protein powder. However, many beginners do not know how to use a shaker cup. This article will introduce the operation methods and common problems of the shaker cup in detail.
1. Disassemble the shaking cup and determine the purpose of each part. Cover, cup body and oscillating wire brush
2. Take the outer cover, pour the protein powder into the water cup, and pour in warm boiled water. Generally, 30 grams of protein powder is poured into 200ml of water (there is usually a scale on the water cup). Low-fat milk can also be added appropriately to improve the taste.
3. Put the oscillating wire brush into the shaking cup, close the lid tightly, and shake for 30-60 seconds to fully dissolve the protein powder.
4. You can finally drink it.
5. There is usually a little residue in the cup every time you drink it. Just wash the residue with cold water and dry it to avoid causing odor.
Reminder:
The water used to prepare protein powder must be warm water (low temperature close to the body is best). Boiled water will break the protein structure, and cold water will not easily dissolve it.
Weight-bearing simple whey protein powder needs to be taken with carbohydrates (such as bananas, apples, oatmeal, steamed buns, etc.), which are easier to be absorbed by the muscles. If it is a muscle-building powder that has a lot of carbohydrates added to the ingredients, it is not necessary. Pay attention to the ingredients of the products you buy.
It is best to drink full-term protein powder 30 minutes after exercise and heart rate recovery. It can also be taken with breakfast in the morning as a protein supplement.
No supplements can replace a basic diet. A healthy diet of high protein, low calories, moderate carbohydrates, and more fruits and vegetables is the foundation for exercise and fitness.
Cartilage sports and fitness enthusiasts in the early stage should focus on adjusting the basic dietary structure, and generally do not need to add supplements.
You can add more reconstituted water appropriately. If there is less water, the protein powder will not dissolve easily.
If the shaker cup is not cleaned enough, a strong smell will remain. There are several ways to remove the smell:
1. Charcoal: Place it in a glass of water until it is digested and absorbed;
2. Soda: Add baking soda or vinegar to the cup, leave the cork open overnight, and clean it the next day;
3. Lemon: Squeeze the lemonade into the water glass, and fill enough of the lemon juice into the water glass;
4. Instant coffee: Add instant coffee to digest and absorb the flavor, leave it overnight and then clean the glass bottle;
5. Direct sunlight: Place the water cup in an environment that can withstand wind and sun, so that the strong sunlight can bring out the flavor;
