I wish I had one of those small blenders to go; just haven't got around to it. Big blenders are a pain to clean.
But yes, I use the Sundesa Blenderbottle with the ball. The best so far. I have two. One to mix pre-workout supplements (and sometimes during) and another for protein shake after workout. Never had a problem mixing shakes thoroughly.
I don't make protein shakes but I do make lowfat shakes with milk and fruit and I use my Oster blender. I have the magic bullet but I have not tried it yet.
I use an old fashioned Sunbeam blender. It's just on the "slightly" side of inconvenient to clean, but it crushes ice like nobody's business.
Plus, I already use it to make everything else that needs blending, so there's no need to buy a _second_ thing that blends stuff. That'd just be more crap in my cabinets that I never use.
I have a couple of blender bottles with the ball, I have a small one and a medium one that goes up to 20oz I think. Very easy to clean or even put in dishwasher. Anything you mix in there comes out pretty smooth. I have a friend that has the Magic Bullet and swears by it.
I used to use a blender for protein shakes, but stopped long ago. Problem was that the blender worked so good and blending things up, I found that I often made the near "diet fatal" mistake of completely ruining the daily caloric intake by putting in too much stuff - banana, egg, fruit, whey, this, that, etc. Protein shakes now days pretty much have everything you need already in them, plus they taste really good. Adding things like a banana or fruit will only ruin a person's nutritional intake plan. Will end up drinking several servings of fruit (i.e., too much sugar and too much food).
So now I use only a shaker and ON Whey protein. Nothing else need to be added.
Ah. Well I actually -make- the shakes. I don't just add water and drink.
I use half a banana, a few strawberries, ice, a 1/4 cup of either frozen *with fat* yoghurt or *full fat* ice cream, a splash of pineapple juice -or- a 1/4 cup of diced pineapple if I have any on hand, and a tablespoon of powdered egg white for the protein.
Blend it up good and you got yourself a strawberry-banana colada dairy shake without the rum, but with protein.
That's MY shake

Reason: tablespoon, not teaspoon
The OP was looking for something besides a shaker, to mix up his powder shakes. Not making them out of whole foods.
