I took my pills in my pill box for 7 days. I was not going to be gone for long on my last trip. I know that they suggest that you keep prescription meds in the bottles especially narcotics. It never hurts to be safe. I know when I leave the country I keep all of my pills in the bottles. It is a pain but I do not want to end up in some trouble over medications. As far as your shake mix I have individual packets that I travel with and as long as they are powder and in the package I have not had any trouble. I usually buy a bottle of water and then use my shaker to make my shake. Or if on the plane they will give you water and ice and you can shake away.

Powders and vitamins are fine--if you're just taking a carry-on, sounds like a domestic flight, and you'll be fine.

So it's ok to take your narcs on a plane? I sure don't want my bottle confiscated!

Just take the number of Vitamins you need, no sense carrying all the bottles.

As for shake, just measure amounts into zip lock bags, doubt security will notice and if they do and taste they will know it isn't drugs. What is worst case, they confiscate it.
