Smile hi Sean, welcome aboard

Well, everyone's already given you some terrific ideas.

One thing you could try are the lowcarb protein shake mixes, like isolated whey protein. ProLab and Interactive are good ... you could just take a Rubbermaid type container with a lid ... add water and the powder, put the lid on, shake it up and there you go. The better quality whey shakes dissolve readily ... some of the cheaper ones, and soy especially tend to clump. Some brands actually come in single serving foil pouches, yes a little more expensive, but you could buy a variety of flavours so that you're not having the same every time.

Another member in Ontario posted that she found the following in Walmart ... maybe you might be able to get it also in Edmonton.

... Weider Pure Pro Shake, ready to serve, not powder. 354ml can was about $2.80. 4g carbs, 35g protein, .5g fat 160 calories, so it looks like the numbers add up ok. It's sweetened with Sucralose (Splenda) and Ace-K, no aspartame and is made with whey protein, not soy. Here it is on their website: http://www.weider.ca/Pure_pro_shake.htm They only had "creamy vanilla", but it looks like it comes in chocolate too.
Hope this helps, and keep us posted of your lowcarbing success!
