Traveling (flying) with protein powder?

[smaller 77]

I have to travel for work this week. How did you take your Protein Powder with you when flying? I've finally found a decent Protein that I like but it only comes in bulk powder form. I'm planning on putting it in a ziplock bag and putting that inside a shaker bottle. Carrying on a bag with a powder may be an issue so I'll be checking my bag. I'll pick up some milk when I land.

Any tips?

P.s. I'm anxious to see how I fit in an airplane seat now that I'm almost half-way to my goal weight. I fit before, but I was not comfortable at all.

TSA encourages people to tweet to @AskTSA or via Facebook messenger if they are unsure if something can be brought on a plane and they will tell you if you can take it. It's pretty fast. Their concern is liquids. I can't see why they would care about powder.

I carry powder on the plane all the time. I do exactly what you said in your post -- I take what I need in a gallon size zip-loc and a Blender Bottle, and I get the FA to bring me a glass and bottle Water to mix it up. TSA has never said a thing. All they really care about is liquids. (And I have split a Premier Protein across 3 of the 3.4 oz bottles many times as well!)

Thanks for the responses. I'll proceed as I planned.

I bring a Blender Bottle and carry extra powder in baby formula dispensers.
