Ultralight protein shaker?

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? I like to bring homemade meal replacement powder on long routes, but it really does need a protein shaker. Suggestions like talenti jar or peanut butter jar are on the right track, but the non-leakproof lid is a deal breaker. A lightweight polycarbonate jar with a leakproof lid, or a lighweight water bottle with a mouth wide enough for a shaker ball MUST exist.

I think you just described a Nalgene.

Nalgenes are pretty heavy. Looking for ultralight, not merely portable.

Dunno - std ones are @ 177g, but the lightweight ones aren't too bad @ 106g. Get one of these wide mouth and add the shaker ball from regular shaker.

If you really want to save weight, don’t bring any food and just use nicotine to deal with the hunger.

in all seriousness a Nalgene is absolutely the way to go for what you’re describing.

Use a few little rocks from the ground, that's more ultralight than carrying a shaker ball and then you don't need the wide mouth and can just use a gatorade bottle.

There’s Vargo’s Titanium products, but they’re so expensive and comparable to Nalgene’s weight.

This might be the answer right here. little stones, or little chunks of ice depending on the season.

Is it really even a protein shaker if it doesn't have some AI garbage uploading your calorie intake to a watch and strava?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
