How to create an Organized Protein Shake Station

Do you have to travel all around your kitchen to get your supplies together to make your morning protein shake? I was doing that too. So I decided to come up with a solution so that I could stop wasting time and tearing apart my entire kitchen every morning just to make my shake. So I created a solution for an organized protein shake station.

About a year ago, I was searching for some new recipes that would give me some variety to my protein shakes because I was getting super bored with vanilla or chocolate. Of course, Pinterest came through and there was one particular blogger whose recipes really spoke to me! Her recipes gave me a ton of variety and I just love it!

Ever since I found her blog, I have a bunch of new ingredients that I use for my shakes. But my ingredients were all over the place. So I needed to find a solution.

Creating an Organized Protein Shake Station

The first step to creating my protein shake station was figuring out what things I actually use in the morning as I am making my protein shakes. I gathered all of my supplies from around the kitchen and my pantry and put it all in one spot.

The next thing I did was figure out where in the kitchen I wanted this protein station to be. I don’t like things out on my counter so I decided that I wanted to create a protein station inside one of my cupboards. I cleaned out the cupboard that was right above my blender. That way everything is within arms reach.

After I decided where I wanted my protein shake station to be, I cleared out the cupboard and wiped everything down so it was perfectly clean.

Taking Inventory

After I cleaned out the cupboard, I needed to figure out what storage containers I needed to buy. We buy our protein powder in big bins so I needed a big container to store it in. The container they come in workes fine but I wanted to make it beautiful so I opted for some 1-gallon glass jars. One for our vanilla and one for our chocolate protein powder.

I ordered mine from an online restaurant supply company, but you can also get them here on Amazon.

Then I bought a container for our protein bars for when we are too busy to make a shake. I also have a container for my PB protein which I absolutely love! I bought my containers (2-quart size) at Ross.

We also had a lot of vitamins floating around and I figured there wasn’t a better time to take vitamins than in the morning with my shake. So I decided to buy some jars for my vitamins as well. And the very small glass containers were actually bought at Dollar Tree! 🙂 I actually wrote on the bottom of the glass jar, in permanent marker, how many vitamins to take per day so I didn’t forget.

Creating the Labels

I wanted to create beautiful labels for my protein shake station so that I could remember what was in each jar, as well as make it more beautiful. Because organization is more than just creating a system, it’s about beauty!

So I made some labels and printed them out on Full Sheet Shipping Labels. I really recommend the full sheet because you can use them on a variety of things and you don’t have to stick to a certain size of label. After printing out the labels on my printer, I just used my straight paper cutter to cut the labels. After that, all I had to do was pull off the backing and stick it to my jars! Super easy!
