Email response from unjury

[fern 195]

So I emailed powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury to see how they would answer how long Protein Shakes last after being mixed. This is the answer I received this evening......

Hi Heather,

Thank you for being an Unjury customer!

You have a great question! It is untrue that Protein will start to

deteriorate once it is mixed and that it must be consumed immediately. We

have not found any science to support this.

UNJURY uses only whey protein isolate as it's protein source. Whey protein

isolate is a milk protein. Normal whey doesn't deteriorate quickly. To get a

good idea of it, think about how many days milk spends traveling from the

farm to your home fridge. Nobody questions the amount of protein in milk.

Many of our customers like to make their UNJURY beverages ahead of time and

still enjoy all of the high quality protein benefits. We do recommend

drinking UNJURY shakes within 48 hours of mixing them for general food

safety reasons.

If you are using milk in your shake, make sure to drink it within 2 hours if

it is not refrigerated. Milk becomes unsafe to drink after it’s been left at

room temperature for two hours.

Does this information help answer your question? Please feel free to call

and speak with me or one of the other Registered Dietitians if you have any

other questions!

Healthy Regards,

Tovah

I am so pleased to be wrong about this! Although I wonder why Chike Nutrition says the opposite... I wish you had asked about the theory of there only being a certain amount of protein you can absorb at one go... though if you spread it out over a long period of time it would be a moot point.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I was wondering about this myself after reading someone else's post! I usually mix my Syntrax Nectar in the evening and then take it to work with me the next day and after reading what someone said about having to drink it immediately, I stopped drinking it. (Too foamy immediately after mixing). Now I can start drinking it again!! Yay!! Thanks again!!!

I use Unjury and I have noticed that if I make it with milk and let it sit, it will seperate and not be appealing to me anymore. Making it with soy milk seems to make it last longer in terms of keeping it mixed up. Because it seperated on my with milk, I try to mix it right before I'm going to drink it and not let it sit. That seperation was really gross and I no amount of shaking it up made it better.

I'm glad you emailed them! I decided that I didn't care if it did or not I was going to continue making my shake at 530am and drinking it at about 9am because it works for me!! LOL

I mean, not to be silly or anything, but I always questioned that or how else would RTD Protein Drinks work?

Great info, Thank you for your efforts. Maybe we don't drink Protein shakes after they have set simply because they look sooo gross. Of course a simple shake up fixes that , but still---yuck.

Thank you again,

I think maybe because I mix mine with just Water, it doesn't really look any different, but it does go a little clearer. It doesn't separate though ( thank goodness- ewww). I noticed she mentions about whey ISOLATEs. Maybe regular whey DOES break down? I don't know. But I'm happy I emailed them. It makes me feel alot better about it!! I'm glad it helped you guys out too.
