making ahead of time

Hi folks!

I was thinking about playing around tonight with making some protien shakes in my blender with all the samples I have. Well what I was wondering was if I find one that I like and want to make several, how long will they keep in the fridge before going bad? And does the Protein lose any of it's effectiveness? I like the idea of having them already done and ready for me to just grap and go. I have tried some of the pre made ones, but I can't stomach some of those! :thumbup: Any ideas and hints would be great! Sorry if this is a repeat of another post. I tried to search before I posted but didn't find anything.

I freeze it. Not sure if it looses anything. It tasted the same. It was like eating an icee, I had to use a spoon.

It probably depends if you are mixing the Protein with milk. I used to survey health care facilities and one of the things we watched for was if staff mixed protein supplements with milk and stored them in the refrigerator for more than just a few hours (less than 24 hours). There may be a chance of food borne illness if made in advance but we were surveying nursing homes and the population there can be compromised. I suggest asking your dietitian.

When I was on Protein Shakes only, I made enough for 24 hours. Protein Max chocolate was wonderful. I get it at GNC. They also have an awesome shaker cup that has a mini whisk in it. This helps with mixing and also you do not have to mess the blender up...lol If you get one of the shaker cups, add 1/2 of your skim milk first and then your powder...It seems to mix easier.
