Samara, you can prepare meals in advance, but you can also prepare as you go during the day without too much trouble. I keep a shaker in the car with a shake envelope tucked inside, so I can mix up a meal with nothing more than a bottle of cold water if needed. In my purse, I also have a bar (I never keep these in the car because I don't want them to melt) and a soy crisp snack at the ready. Because I work in an office (where I also keep a variety of meal options in the cupboard), I rarely actually use what's in the car or purse, but knowing they're there if I need them helps.
If you don't already have one of the "super" shakers, I highly recommend that you get one if you plan to fix shakes on the go. You can order one from MF or pick one up locally (Bed Bath & Beyond carries a particularly nice one). The disc insert makes a huge difference and really breaks up the powder. If my schedule required me to be out and about for long periods on a regular basis, I would invest in multiple shakers so I could toss them into a clean-this-at-home bag after each meal.
You can also mix a shake into a diet soda. I don't recommend shaking something carbonated, but back when MF was a strictly, shakes-only plan, I kept a small battery-operated whisk in a baggie in my purse so I could whip up a shake just about anywhere.
