Portable Protein

You're busy.  So is everyone else, myself included.  You prioritize your day so that sometime between working, taking care of the children, eating, cleaning the house, doing laundry, playing with the children, bathing the children, and bathing yourself, you can actually make time to workout.

And how to get your much needed protein after strength training or a long run?  You could stuff some mutton in your pockets to snack on later.  Although fairly mobile when alive, once cooked, mutton doesn't travel well.

You could opt for a protein bar, but they are usually quite expensive, most of them have a chalky/filmy/fake taste, and none of them pack nearly as much protein as my favorite post-workout recovery meal: whey protein powder.

Whey protein, and most other similar powdered protein supplements, are easy to store and mix.  The key to protein portability is a Blender Bottle.  The Blender Bottle contains a springy stainless steel wire ball that helps to mix the powder.  Scoop in powder, add water, snap the secure lid on, and shake.

Tip: I add a couple of tablespoons of powdered milk to help with creaminess.

Scoop your protein in the bottle the night before and toss into your bag or purse.  The bottle lid and spout cover are very secure and I've never had a problem with leaks or spillage.  When you're ready to drink it, just add some water and shake.

And it tastes way better than mutton.
