So I am horrible about eating enough, whether because of time constraints or because I don’t have anything portable.

My thinking is that I could take an 8–10 oz sized bottle and fill it with soy milk and a scoop of protein powder and have that as my afternoon “pick-me-up”. (I was originally interested in something like Slim Fast or Ensure, but because of all the weird chemicals and the priciness of said drinks, I was quickly turned off.)

My first question is: does soy milk go bad more quickly at room temperature than cow’s milk? (I did some Google-fu, and I got lots of conflicting answers.) Would it be better to use just plain ol’ water?

And my second question: does this sound like a decent second-rate choice for getting some calories and nutrients?

And my third question: what brand/flavor/kind of protein powder would you recommend as the best tasting AND the most economical?

Thanks for any and all thoughtful answers!
