Help, please, from some of you lifers

Most of your know that my hubby is going to be in Iraq for quite some time. I want to send him some protein powder, but he will only have water and a shaker to mix it with. No ice, no blender. Does anyone no of a good tasting one that mixes quickly and smoothly with water? I'm also looking for powdered or dehydrated fruit juices, if you've heard of such a thing. I'm trying to talk him into letting me send him a blender, but for now he doesn't want to mess with it.

You can also go to www.proteincustomizer.com and order by the lb. for very cheap, a ready made blend or your own blend, eggwhite, etc.,(one word here, get flavoring too), and they all mix well with just water and a shaker cup. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better!

It comes in a lot of flavors and is light and mixes with water. I really like the muscle provider, also. Very thick and tasty. Maybe one of those personal size smoothie blenders that you stick into the cup, do you know what I mean? -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results "You do or you do not.

And someone suggested Gatorade powder too. What about that? -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

It is pure whey protien, not a blend, so its absorbtion is better than most on the market. Without a doubt, this stuff is probably THE BEST TASTING PROTEIN AROUND. A little pricy though but one of the best you'll find and very convenient in your husband's situation...just poor water and shake. Any nutrition store would have it. -------------- RAGE!!!!

I go to one here (North Face) in Montreal, and they have all kinds of de-hydrated/powdered products. -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada

You can buy them by the box, each is one serving. ============ Quoting from azredhead57: Thanks guys, I will look into those too. I can't find the Emergen-C. Where do I get it?

kirby00 Posts: 238 Joined: 2002/11/05	2003/10/27, 08:19 PM Is there a Trader Joe's near you, Victoria? They sell Emergen-C there. I agree that Optimum Nutrition Whey works well in a shaker bottle. I used to drink the vanilla, but they just came out w/some new flavors too, like banana & chocolate mint. Kirby
