I'll be going to the store and checking what kind of coolers that they got. Thanks for the idea!

I use this and an ice pack and stuff is cool for like 10 hours.  I got it for $10 at walmart.

They have other models with shoulder straps, too.  I prefer the soft sided coolers since they are easier to carry around.

They have $10-12 soft sided everest coolers that are nice too!

Try freezing a water bottle & keep it in the cooler with your shake. It should keep it cold & as the water melts you have cold water to drink as well. Also, I don't know about other shakes but unopened Premier shakes do not have to be refrigerated, so they won't go bad if not kept cold. Have a great semester!

That's why warm premier protein was solution B if I didn't figure anything out :) Nice idea with the frozen water bottle btw!

Costco has some lunch bags for $12.99. They aren't bulky and they can expand to a little larger if you need it. You can fit 3 Premier Protein drinks in there when it's not expanded. The lunch bags are insulated and it comes with an ice pack that stays frozen for a long time.

Excellent suggestion, now I just wish Costco had a college discount!

By the time you start school, won't you be on soft or regular foods?  If so I would save the protein drink for home and take something else.  Granted some of the things may need an insulated bag but I would think easier than a shake.

I'll be on puree food at that time. I could still take a few ounces of pureed chicken or some baby food, but a cooler of some type would be useful.
