Mixing Things up with BlenderBottle

Have you ever tried to mix baby formula in a bottle?  I use a very popular brand of baby bottles that help my little one have less gas in her stomach.  Unfortunately, this brand isn't very good to use for mixing formula right in the bottle.  Ughhh... clumps, clumps, clumps!  Then we found the BlenderBottle and... no more clumps!

I now carry a Mini BlenderBottle around in my diaper bag to mix up bottles on the go.  With a 20 oz. (to the brim) capacity, it's perfect for travel.  There is also an Original BlenderBottle constantly in our fridge with a steady supply of mixed formula just waiting for feeding time. With a 28 oz. capacity the Original BlenderBottle is perfect for mixing up three 8 oz. bottles at a time and saving me time when I have a hungry baby yelling at me.
 
BlenderBottles aren't just for mixing up baby formula though.  With their patented BlenderBall wire whisk (pictured below) moving throughout the cup as you shake it, you can even mix thick ingredients like yogurt smoothies or pancake batter!  We enjoy using ours for making perfect chocolate milk, scrambled eggs and french toast batter.  You can take a look at some more uses for BlenderBottle here, or browse their recipe page to see some tasty ideas for mixing up in your own BlenderBottle.  You can also visit BlenderBottle's YouTube channel to hear what some of their fans have to say.

The BlenderBottle was the first mixing bottle I have ever used with a screw on top and a pour spout that snapped shut (you can feel and hear the snap), so I never have had any leaks.  In fact, the Mini BlenderBottle that I carry around in my diaper bag has the water for mixing a baby bottle already in it and has never leaked!

GET YOUR OWN!!!  Visit the BlenderBottle website to purchase your own Original or Mini BlenderBottle.  With 8 colors to chose from you're sure to find enough choices for everyone to have their own BlenderBottle.  BlenderBottle also has insulated slings available for both sizes to help keep your drinks cooler longer.  (What a great gift for some of my school aged family members!)

WIN YOUR OWN!!!  BlenderBottle is giving one lucky SIMPLE reader a chance to win the BlenderBottle of their choice!  Original BlenderBottle in pink?  Mini BlenderBottle in blue?  You choose!  To enter just visit the BlenderBottle website and come back to tell me what you'd use your BlenderBottle for and what size/color you would like to use!

Winner will be randomly selected and announced on October 28, 2010.  Good luck!

  6. Very cool! I use Dr. Brown and always get clumps in the air thingy. I'm due in February with my 3rd so this would be very cool to have to keep in the fridge for the middle of the night feedings! I would take the green in the original size. Thanks!

  12. Wow! I'd love an orange mini for baby formula (I'm expecting my 2nd in May!!) What a great concept to have something that actually mixes things instead of clumping them up!
