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).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
