I'm doing some shopping on amazon for some supplies for my post-op life. One concern I have is that when I'm at work (desk job), how do I keep my Protein drink cold enough that I will enjoy it? I'm not good with lukewarm stuff or things when they don't stay cold, so ideally, I'd like to find something that keeps my drink super cold for at least 4 hours.

I've been told post-op that I will have to have some(1oz.) of my Protein Drink or other liquid every 15 minutes. It's not feasible for me to jump up at my work every 15 minutes to go to the common refrigerator.

What have you found that keeps your drinks super cold? While we're at it, what containers have you found that keep your broths warm for long periods of time (let's say from Breakfast time to lunch time.. ~4 hours)?

I had this problem with coffee, which it takes me ages to drink now. I have two of these, the 12-oz one for coffee and the 16-oz one for water. Coffee stays almost too hot to drink for more than 5 hours and water stays very cold for 10+. You could either put your shake in there or put the water for your shake in it, so the shake is cold when you make it up. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PO9T1W

I use these...

Thanks so much for suggestions! Am looking them up on Amazon now. :-)

I make my shakes at night and freeze them. I let it thaw for a few hours and by late morning, it's drinkable. I'm sitting at my desk right now and it's still nice and cold.

Maybe keep a lunch bag beside your desk with a couple ice packs and put your shake in a cup with a lid so you can sip & close then out it back in the bag.

My shake is made with ice cubes blended into it and it goes into an insulated cup with a lid. It goes into the cup at 730 and I sip it until 945... so it takes me an hour and 15 minutes to drink it; mostly because I stay super busy at work.

I'm a little late with my reply, but seems like this bottle does what you need. Glacierbottle.com

My friend swears by Hydro Flask, she said the ice she puts in lasts all day and she just keeps refilling the water.

I want to get one but can't bring myself to spend that much on a water bottle!

RTIC is supposed to be just as good at a more reasonable cost. I have one coming in the mail, so I'll let you know how it works when I get it.

I bought a thermal aluminum cup at Target, brand is Bubba. Pretty good, ice lasts until afternoon and i pack it at 7am. It really hurt me to pay the $18 but i luv it. Recently saw some on sale at Walmart for $10. Give it a shot.

Woohoo
...summer 2017 here we come :-)

I got the 36 oz RTIC bottle with a sports bottle cap. (A friend personalized it) I absolutely love it! I haven't had anything hot in it yet, but it keeps things cold for a very long time. The top of the bottle has a wide mouth for filling so you can use cubed ice, and the sports cap is perfect. The only negative is that the bottle is wide so it takes some getting used to trying to hold it, and it doesn't fit in a car cup holder, but I'll take those trade offs for having a larger amount of water on hand. They have smaller size bottles that I haven't tried yet for those who would like something that fits their hand better.

We just launched the Glacier Bottle on Kickstarter! Check it out if you want to have a super easy way to have cold protein shakes!
