can you shake this to mix the contents without worry of leaks?

I've never tried this, so I did a "shake test" for you. Using the 1/2 gallon pitcher (I think the 1 gallon would be rather heavy to shake) I filled it 1/2 way with water, put the lid back on, and made sure the pour cap was securely in the closed position. First I shook it vigorously in an upright position. No problem - the lid stayed tight and the cap didn't open. Next I turned it upside down without shaking - there was a very slight drip from around the cap. Then I shook it as if I were mixing the contents while it was upside down, and there were only a few drips from around the cap. Forgot to test while shaking side to side. My recommendation would be to put a folded paper towel or cloth over the lid/cap while shaking and put one hand there. I don't think the lid will come off or the cap fly open, but better to be safe than sorry. I should note that my pitchers were purchased several years ago; I can't speak for the quality of ones sold today. Like it or not, sometimes quality changes.

We use ours for sweet tea so usually don't shake it...but I just tried it for you and when I didnt hold the lid it dripped 4 to 5 drops so not too bad and 2 when I held the lid it dripped a couple drops so either way it seems to be sturdy. One thing I do know is that the pour spout does come detached from the lid to clean so I could see the potential for disaster as the pitcher gets older and spout becomes a little less secure

You can shake it but hold the lid... mine leaks very little when I shake it..

Hi! Glad to hear your loving the taste :) We suggest keeping the inner lid prssure seal on and simply poke 1 hole out for the powder to dispense. This allows you to shake only the tiniest bit. Soon you will know how many shakes you use and can judge by sight. Much easier than having to keep a spoon handy. Not hard to do and when it sprinkles lightly its easier to manage. Let us know if you have any other questions. Diana

No, there is no way to do that as there is already packing foam inserted all the way from bottom to top so that anything put in it does not rattle if the can is shaken.

You do not want to use a tamper with this container. It throws the mix upward and does a good job without a tamper. It does leave some larger particles in the lower corners of the container which can be incorporated using a spoon for further grinding (of course, while the motor is not running).

No, you do not shake it. It's the way it's designed that prevents you from having to shake.

Yeah. Kust keep shaking the mix, in order to avoid leaving sediments in the end. I have used it with GNC's Lean Shakes.

Yes, I was able to shake the container to remix my juice when I removed it from the fridge. To be safe I place my thumb on the cover as I shake, but it did not leak when I shook it fairly vigorously. The lid has a dial to tighten and loosen the seal, so turn it as far as you can to get the tightest seal, and it will not leak when you shake it. I would recommend washing the lid by hand to keep the seal from deteriorating in the dish washer.

Use a magic bullet or hand shaker. It's easy to mix. Very smooth not clumpy

I'm not really sure. I just mix it with a shake. But I can do that with the liquid too. Maybe the servings.

I give it a little shake when I first fill or refill it, but after that no shaking seems necessary for it stay mixed.

Yes, you have to be very careful in pouring I have had it work just fine and other times (when I am in a hurry) it can get messy. Sorry!

I use a blender bottle to mix this. Give it a vigorous shake for 30 seconds or so and it's believed thoroughly

No it can't. The powder would spill through creating a mess. I would not recommend it.

Mine was a liquid. It needs to be shaken up very well..... That may be your problem..

I have not had any trouble with this. It is not recommended to do other liquids however you can add to it once it is pressurized.

If I understand your question correctly, yes, you can blend liquids in a large container without it spilling. The blending motion is contained under the blade cover so there is not much splattering as long as you keep the stick blender pointed down.

I don't think so. First, it's very unsafe to shake and blend hot beverages - if spillage does occur, it'll splash everywhere and probably cause injury. Second, the directions that come with the bottle specifically say NOT to use with hot liquids.
