WeeWers here:

I would really like to know how y'all do it.

Thank you in advance

I don't...so it gets kind if nasty towards the end. Hehe

I use premium protein shakes from Costco.they are pre-made in a carton 11oz. I keep several in the fridge and have a small cooler that I take with me if I'm going to be away from the house. You can buy the bags that you can put right in the freezer. I got mine at target. They work great.

you can freeze the pre-made shakes. when your ready to drink it you can thaw it or drink like a slushy type drink.

If I want to keep it cooler for longer I'll put it in an insulated travel mug, but otherwise... it gets warm. I wonder about the travel mugs that you put in the freezer to keep your drink cool because they have an ice-pack type layer in between the inside of the mug and the outside layer. Maybe one of those would help?

You could try re-usable plastic ice cubes. You would have to wash the cubes, but they're dishwashwer-safe and would keep it good and cold without watering down your shake.

If your cup is on the smallish side and you don't want to use the cubes, here's a link for the freezer cup that aquitenonnymouse mentioned. This version is an open mug, but you can also buy them with lids and straws for travel (unless you never use a straw).

Ok I'm a simple gal.... I buy the premier pre made protein drinks from Costco (yummy at six months I still drink one a day)

And if I'm out and about? I just pack one with me they are "shelf stable" so they don't have to be refrigerated.

No fuss no muss

Laura Ven,

So even after your shake, you still don't need to keep it cool?

Thank you for the replies -- wow, 6 repies for such a little question!!

So even after your shake' date=' you still don't need to keep it cool?![/quote']

Not quite sure what you mean by this???

After my shake? It is gone, I drank it so it doesn't matter what temp it is.

Are you talking about when I open it? Yes I make sure I drink it within the hour, if not I would have refrigerate it.

Hydroflask! I got it on amazon and its AMAZING! It promises to keep your cold drinks cold for 24 hours! I got 2 one for my shakes and one for water. I have to make sure the water is cold before I pour it over ice and it stays cold all day!

When I was earlier post op, I would use a Packit bag for keeping my shakes and Protein meats in a cold and safe state for many hour.

Here is a search result from Amazon of many different Packit styles:

Just throw it in your freezer and it becomes a longer lasting frozen lunch bag overnight. It worked really well for me when taking protein Snacks to the theatre or a shake to the monthly support meeting. I do not use it so much any longer because now I always know how to find protein food snack or meal when I am out.

I froze mine and then they were perfect by the time I was ready to drink them
