Oh my Protein, how I love you let me count the ways....but I am Traveling?

As I am returning from a week long trip to D.C., I realized how much I missed my Protein drink. It was a real struggle to get enough protein in without it and let me just say there were not many options. Of course I managed but I was not making goal. This morning, I went straight to the fridge, got out my Protein Drink and now I am enjoying this 30g first thing in the morning. On the next trip I will have to either pack some in my checked luggage or scout for the places they have the kind I like prior to even getting to the location.

That being said, if anyone has a new innovative ways to get your protein while traveling please let me know. This includes special orders at restaurants/hotels as well.

@@PinkGirl, thanks for the info. However, I have tried tons of Protein options and the one I can tolerate and actually like is premixed. So what I am looking for is creative ways to get protein in using real foods while traveling not protein powders and mixes.

A side of Scrambled eggs is always good for Breakfast. appetizers of shrimp cocktail or bacon wrapped scallops are more than enough for a meal. lunch or dinner options usually have some version of a petite sirloin or grilled chicken breast with broccoli. Most restaurants have at least a few decent options if you just look at the Protein with some broccoli, green Beans, or asparagus... and skip the bread and rice/potato.

Personally, I still take some of the single serve packets of Syntrax nectar... or stop at any convenience store and pick up a Muscle Milk (or any with decent protein/low carb ratio) ready-to-drink... and have that for breakfast to start the day. I don't really like the Muscle Milk, but I can suck it up and drink one if that is what's available.

Lianna, thanks for the suggestions. I found that the salad bar is a nice option as well as long as there is protein offered there

I have just been to Cuba on holiday and was worried about getting enough protein. I had eggs every morning with a bit of ham and cheese which set me up for the day. Lunch was fish or chicken and so was dinner. I took low carb protein bars in case it was difficult getting enough protein in. In fact it was fine.

Since surgery I have only been on two short road trips to see family. I took a little travel cooler with some premier protein and a few quest bars. I had the premier really as a backup but they came in handy when I was short on my protein.

Hi. I travel often for work. And I noticed the quest singleserving packs work great with the blend with the shaker bottle. Also- i get the 30g protein bars too!

Have your protein drinks shipped ahead to the hotel through Amazon!

OMG I completely forgot about the protein bars. Well I cannot have then yet, but I will try to find some I like.
