Thanks! I'm moving to West Africa. If I find good powder/shake/bar now, it would be really great. Might be able to take some with me.0 -

Oh, sorry. It sounds complicated; too complicated for me. I am out of suggestions.0 -
I give you props for doing a PC stint to Africa right now. With the Ebola scare going on.0

So, powder. Ok I can work with that! Any suggestions of where or what kind?

There's a ton of different kinds of protein powder. I like some of the more expensive stuff, but it's super tasty, called Trutein. I've also tried optimum nutrition that I like, but doesn't taste as good as the trutein. I've also had body something that they sell at walmart. When I first had it, I thought it was really good. It was my introduction to protein powder, so I hadn't had anything that tasted better than that. I had a sip of a friends (unfortunately, I don't remember what it was), and it was horrible.
I tend to like chocolate/peanut butter flavors, but a lot of that will be personal preference. I like bodybuilding.com because they sell a lot of different kinds of protein, and all the flavors have taste ratings. You might find it cheap elsewhere, but it's a good source of info, and not that expensive compared to other places. Places like walmart, costco, sams will likely have the cheapest but have a limited selection.0 -

I put the water in first. It really does help0

I hate to break out the blender for 1 shake & don't drink it until later in the day (usually) so I went old school. I use an old Talenti gelato container...almond milk, protein powder, couple of ice cubes & shake. Closes tightly so it doesn't leak in my lunch bag & I'm good to go. (all those lessons from my mom about being frugal paid off haha)0

Is the water even potable where you're going? You might be better off with protein bars just in case.

I have to get it from a watering hole, and then filter it and boil it. So it can be done. Just more work than usual. Bars are seriously tempting, though! I was going to bring some snack ones anyway, like Nature Valley or whatever, so maybe I'll just throw in some protein bars, too?0 -

You can purchase water purification tablets for relatively cheap. The water tends to taste a little funny but that might not be so noticeable with protein powder in it.0 -
I thought everybody knew to put the powder in after the liquid? How can you measure the amount of liquid your adding if you put the powder in first? A good mixer cup isn't that expensive. You can get one anywhere. I preferably like the ones with the built in mixer grid, in the lid or detachable. If you're looking for a good protein powder, Syntha6 is the best that I've ever had and I've tried a lot of them. It has a thicker consistency than any other I've used and tastes, looks and smells just like a milkshake. I preferably like the vanilla or strawberry if you can find it at most Vitamin Shops, GNC, Max Muscle or other supplement stores. It is a little more pricier than others but I'm willing to pay a few extra bucks for the taste alone. I use it as a breakfast replacement because it has 200 calories per svg. with 22gs of protein per scoop. I double it up (that's what it recommends for men twice a day).0

could always bring bottled water, or put some water in the shaker before you leave home. wont be cold unless you plan for it, (and some bottles have built in cooling solutions), but its liquid and you can drink it.0 -
