I use a stick blender for the shakes when I have them cold, takes 10 seconds to mix and really easy to clean compared to a smoothie maker.
When I have the shakes hot (usually at work as less conspicuous!) I use a battery milk frother - 99p from Ikea! For the hot meals I find the little bits get trapped in the whisk part of the frother so use a small normal whisk.

I use a shaker which is handy for work times and it mixes well enough
I use a hand blender, comes out nice and smooth!
Ok thanks.
I'm a blender kinda girl too :-) for the shakes anyway. Soups and meals I use a hand whisk.
I have an LL shaker or use a handblender at home with ice - very nice. I'm going away next week and for convenience have purchased a funnel to get the powder into a regular water bottle and I'll just shake it (having drunk a little of it first) - then it's all disposable so no washing up facilities needed when I'm wandering round Prague in the snow :)

And Prague? Fab! Never been myself but it's supposed to be lovely :-)
And also just noticed you're ticker. You're OVER half way on your journey now, well done!
Thank you :) I'm still a little unsure of my goal so don't quite know how far along, but still, it looks good and it'll probably be around that figure I guess (note to self - get on with sorting goal to maintain focus!). As for the willpower, well, having had a week off at Christmas and feeling so very bad from eating carbs and so amazing from not, it makes it all much easier to stay with the plan :). Don't think I'll risk mixing a shake on the plane though, in case it provokes an emergency response!!
Shakes on a Plane could be a blockbuster!
