Because protein drinks will be consumed slowly after surgery, I’d like to find out what y’all used to keep your protein drinks cold while you sipped, sipped, & sipped some more. They taste so much better cold!

well i prefer my water ice cold and shakes yeah it does get warm its a little better to me if before you have one set in freezer for a few

A thermos works for keeping things hot or cold. I loved my small thermos though I used it to keep my soup hot (my surgery was in winter). I got it from Kmart. (500ml bottle of water for size comparison.)

For ready-to-drink shakes, I use something similar to this:

They used to have one for 12-ounce cans (regular soda cans), and that's what I use, but it has been discontinued. Too bad -- it's the perfect size for a Premier Protein/Equate shake. I'm not sure if a Premier Protein would fit in the one linked above.

I also have some of these:

These are great for cans, but not as good as the Vacu Vin for Premier Protein/Equate shakes because the shakes are kind of square-shaped and don't fit snugly.

For protein powder, I just mix a small amount at a time so it doesn't get warm before I finish drinking it.

I use a Yeti cup and it keeps it cold for about an hour.

Personally, I bought some 2 ounce cups off amazon. I keep my premier protein in the fridge and just fill the two ounce cup when Im ready for more. I havent gone back to work yet, But I have a fridge in my office, so I will keep that stocked up too.

Thanks for the idea. I have a small dorm fridge my daughter used when she was in college that I can put behind my desk in my home office. I'll go ahead and put it there before my surgery in a few weeks so I can keep my shakes cold throughout the day. I like the Premier Protein shakes and stocked up from Costco. I also have Unjury powder, though that's not as tasty. We'll see what I like after surgery.

I guess I never noticed if my shake became room temperature, but if I HAD to keep it cold for palatability, I would use a Yeti or similar.

I'd simply use the Emsa coffee mugs I keep my coffee or tea hot in. No leakage at all. Just throw them in your backpack.

It's either the Travel Mug Classic or the Travel Mug Classic Grande. I usually use the big one for tea only.

Thank you for the suggestions, everyone! I’m meant to respond earlier but surgery is 3 days away & I’m cleaning my house like a mad woman! ?

I also don't like room temp/warm protein drinks. it usually takes me about an hour to drink an 11-12oz shake. a hydro flask or yeti or basically any insulted tumbler will keep it cool for at least an hour. I have multiple ones now because I use them so often. a lot of times i put my shake in the freezer for 10-15 min before I pour it in my tumbler.
