Tupperware tumblers are awesome



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to post a tip for Protein shakes and other portable beverages. The tupperware tumblers with flat lids (not sippy lids or sports lids or ones with straws) are absolutely great. You can put your Protein powder in and throw it in your bag. When you want to make up your shake, fill it 2/3 with Water and shake the hell out of it. It won't leak. Then after you drink it (out of the tumbler itself), put the lid back on and toss in your bag. Again, won't leak. I have found these to be great. I get the 11 ounce ones. I have four so one or two are always clean and dry and ready to go. You can get them cheap on eBay but I just got the "rainbow" set. It was $27 for the set of 4. My shake is only 8 ounces made up so these are plenty big, though you can get 16 ounces too.

The normal Protein shakers are ok but they are big and in my opinion not very portable. I also find that they can leak from the pour spout and the ones where the lid just snaps on can make a mess if you snap it off wrong and fling your shake everywhere.

If your protein doesn't mix easily you could get one of those whisk balls and throw it in with your dry powder. I don't have this problem. I also use one to mix a medicine I have to take with juice.

I am always on the lookout for a better transport method. I don't leave home without a dry mix of Protein shake in a tumbler of some kind. This is great. Thanks so much!

I use these too, I have a 11oz fruit set and two seasonal 16oz. I do preamble shakes but always have this filled with Water for me to drink! You are right tho no leaks and the "spout" type thing you drink from is small, I hate big openings like Nalgene bottle, I dribble lolol!

Mine doesn't have an opening in the lid. It's just flat and you take off the lid and you have a plain cup. But the lid seals very well and doesn't leak which to me is the best part.

I have a couple of the blender bottles as well. I like them as I seem to want to shake my drink again after a few minutes of it sitting on the desk while sipping away at it! The blender ball really helps with mixing up the Protein powder very well!

Me too! I carry a tall and a short one (pre-filled with powder) on every flight. On the road I use the short one for my pre-workout Breakfast and the tall for my lunch or afternoon snack (depending on what my work day/customer interaction is like).

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
