topazz 4 Posted June 19, 2011 For Breakfast, I like to make a shake from sugar free CIB, Peanut Butter and a banana. Can I make it the night before and keep it in the fridge? It gets tough in the mornings lately, and I want to try and save a little time. Any suggestions?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rachel412 116 Posted June 19, 2011 My understanding is that the nutrients in the shake break down after they've been sitting for a while, so I wouldn't suggest it. How about putting the Peanut Butter and banana in one container and the Protein and liquid in another and leaving it in the fridge, so you just need to mix and go when you get up?

topazz 4 Posted June 19, 2011 I guess maybe I could make the milk, PB and banana the night before and add the CIB in the morning. That seems pretty easy. Could I do that?? I have one on those shaker bottles to use and drink right out of. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Time2BHealthy 1 Posted June 19, 2011 Purchase the magic bullet. Best thing I ever bought! I make a shake every morning and it literally takes me one minute. I use milk, frozen fruit, and syntha 6 vanilla ice cream Protein Powder.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topazz 4 Posted June 19, 2011 Time, I have the Ninja that I use and love! It is super easy, but I like to wash it right away, being that it has such a sharp blade and don't want it left in the sink. Hence which is why I'd prefer to prepare it at night to cut down on time in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if the banana portion of the liquids will brown if you leave it in the fridge overnight, but it won't hurt it at all. Definitely worth a shot.

JakerT5 8 Posted June 19, 2011 My wife has been making mine at night , for my Breakfast and lunch the next day , since I started in January , they say you lose something from making them early , but yet to see how much or if anything , no where on the label it says drink right away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cocoabean 430 Posted June 19, 2011 Read the package of your Protein mix. Mine says the active cultures die after 10 minutes. So, mixing then and leaving them makes THAT part of them useless. But it depends on the ingredients and what you are trying to get out of the mix. For me, I desperately need the Probiotics, so I don't want to drink them once dead. maybe for you, it doesn't matter.

It gets tough in the mornings lately, and I want to try and save a little time. Any suggestions?? if you go to wal mart and buy whey powder its cheeper and it gives you 52 grams of protien... i make mine up the night before and its fine... I even freeze one the night before for my lunch and it defrost just fine..... good luck.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reverie 49 Posted June 20, 2011 You can make Protein Shakes ahead of time. Protein doesn't "die" off or anything. You can freeze protein, bake with it..anything. The amino acids are still there and can be digested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted June 21, 2011 FYI Premier brand ready to drink Protein is pretty good. I have one everyday prework out since I have a long time between lunch and dinner (swim after work). Available at costco.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
