I use premium Protein Shakes from Costco.they are pre-made in a carton 11oz. I keep several in the fridge and have a small cooler that I take with me if I'm going to be away from the house. You can buy the bags that you can put right in the freezer. I got mine at target. They work great.

you can freeze the pre-made shakes. when your ready to drink it you can thaw it or drink like a slushy type drink.

If I want to keep it cooler for longer I'll put it in an insulated travel mug, but otherwise... it gets warm. I wonder about the travel mugs that you put in the freezer to keep your drink cool because they have an ice-pack type layer in between the inside of the mug and the outside layer. Maybe one of those would help?

You could try re-usable plastic ice cubes. You would have to wash the cubes, but they're dishwashwer-safe and would keep it good and cold without watering down your shake.

If your cup is on the smallish side and you don't want to use the cubes, here's a link for the freezer cup that aquitenonnymouse mentioned. This version is an open mug, but you can also buy them with lids and straws for travel (unless you never use a straw). ;)

Ok I'm a simple gal.... I buy the premier pre made Protein Drinks from costco (yummy at six months I still drink one a day)

And if I'm out and about? I just pack one with me they are "shelf stable" so they don't have to be refrigerated.

No fuss no muss :D

Laura Ven,

So even after your shake, you still don't need to keep it cool?

Not quite sure what you mean by this???

After my shake? It is gone, I drank it so it doesn't matter what temp it is. :D

Are you talking about when I open it? Yes I make sure I drink it within the hour, if not I would have refrigerate it.

When I was earlier post op, I would use a Packit bag for keeping my shakes and Protein meats in a cold and safe state for many hour.

Here is a search result from Amazon of many different Packit styles:

Just throw it in your freezer and it becomes a longer lasting frozen lunch bag overnight. It worked really well for me when taking Protein Snacks to the theatre or a shake to the monthly support meeting. I do not use it so much any longer because now I always know how to find protein food snack or meal when I am out.
