When did you go from shakes to protein bars?

I am only asking for the reason of being out for the day. I go out shopping for the whole day, on like a day off or something.SHOP A HOLIC!!!! Lol

Go out on the town and shop til I drop.

Its so hard to have shakes while being out all day.

When did you transition into taking a Protein bar instead?

Im on soft food til next month.. See my nutritionist next month too..

Just wondering.. Thanks for any tips!

Well, I think I was at about 1/2 or two months out. I had to travel for work and needed something portable. And for shopping as well. :-) I still do shakes and I am at 7 months.

The first bar I used was Pure Portein chocolate. Low in sugar and carbs. It is also very soft so I let it melt in my mouth. I think I ate 1/4. Waited. Then tried the other 1/4. Only could do a 1/2 bar at a time.

I carry a protein bar in my pocket book all the time, just in case. But if I know I am going to be out and about all day I always pack my "care package" which is in a thermal lunch tote. I keep a couple cheese sticks, pack of tuna (premixed) a shake and water in it with an ice pack. Never hurts to be over prepared! I find that if i dont plan to keep this with me (at least in the car) I tend to pop in to a fast food place and it always ends up being something I shouldnt have.

Failing to plan is planning to fail! (what my granny use to tell me anyway!)

Thanks guys.. will probably start to try them next month.

Im on the go alot and worrying about the milk spoiling gets annoying. :)

Specially in this 90+ degree hazy hot humid heat!!

I go out a lot, I always take a few bottles of water with me and I have a container that u hold powder baby formula in. It has 6 slots for servings of powder baby formula and I just fill it with my powder protein. Then if I need my protein I just pour the protein in the water and shake it up !
