Let’s Revisit Protein Shake Logistics

[GatorMomInNC]

If you are flying, you will put your shakes in your checked bags and then move them into a carry on when getting on the ship. Just make sure you do it before getting to port, as the porters who take your luggage move fast. We have packed a carry on with all our drinks as a checked bag so we don't have to do shuffling. We have also packed a carry on with our drinks inside a larger suitcase so we could pull it out at the airport.

That is a good idea to put the carry on in side the bigger suitcase! I Think I will do that and put my cpap in there also

Be careful packing your cpap in your checked bag. Medical equipment should be carried on just in case the bag is lost or damaged. You can put it in it's own bag, and it doesn't count towards your carry on allowance.

I know, but I hate dragging it around, and half the time (you would think it would be consistent??) they make me take it out at the security check, so I usually check it. I pad it with beach towels or bathing suits and check it. I think it will be doubly safe if I put it inside a carry on, then put the carry on inside the checked bag.

Since it's considered medical, you are supposed to put it in it's own bin like you do a laptop. When flying with DMIL, this is what we do and have always been told to do so they can scan it apart from everything else. One of our bags always gets tagged for extra inspection. This time flying down by myself, my backpack got pulled for a neck fan and the snack box got selected due to grapes.....a simple baggie of grapes for the plane. I have quit trying to figure out what they want as I don't think they know.

I use shakeology so no pre-made options. Wondering if anyone was successful getting a hand blender on? Getting powders added at senses spa or frozone?

I ended up packing a regular shaker tumbler & pre-packaged protein portions. If you ask by where the milk is set out in the buffet they can give you a glass of almond milk. I also saw some other kinds like rice milk & soy.

Shakeology has pre-portioned envelopes. Or they did a year ago. I used to use theirs. The boxes of envelopes aren’t cheap but if it makes vacation work then money well spent.

While I don't use protein powders, I do mix chocolate powders (some are gritty) and this little thing works great. It is a milk frother but mixes powders into milk really well. Easy to clean by running under water. Battery operated and so inexpensive. It won't mix fruit though.
