Ready-to-drink whey protein isolate shakes?

I'm going on a road trip in a couple weeks where we'll be camping for a night or two. I'd like to take some ready-to-drink Protein shakes, since it will be hard to keep the milk cold and to wash my Blender Bottle for my regular shakes. I'm less than 1 month post-op and am supposed to drink 2 8 oz. shakes per day.

I tried doing a search on here, but the ready-to-drink shake I see recommended over and over is Premier. I like them, but my surgeon and NUT only allow shakes that are made with whey protein isolate, and Premier is not.

I know a lot of people drink Isopure, but I'm really not sure that I would like it, since I prefer chocolate, vanilla, or PB flavored shakes, and fruity-flavored ones tend to make me gag.

Are there any other whey protein isolate shakes out there that I'm missing?

Isopuke is disgusting. If I were you, I would get in touch with your medical team and explain that it is just for a couple of days, you need RTD as you will be camping, and would they give permission to use whey concentrate rather than whey isolate just for a couple of days? I would be surprised if they said no, especially since the difference in absorption between isolate and concentrate is really not that huge.

@@Bufflehead, that's what I'm planning to do if I don't get suggestions for non-barfy alternatives before my next follow-up appointment on the 21st (we're leaving on the 24th). I can't see how it would be a problem for just a few days. I'll actually be staying at my parents' house for some of the time, so I can probably take my regular powders with me for that part of the trip. I'm just concerned about while we're on the road for 11 hours each way and camping overnight.
