^^^ i beleive he means how long can you leave a shake prepared before consuming it i.e how long can it be left prepared while not getting de-natured

**superman101** · 09-12-2003, 06:23 AM

yes thats what I mean.

Not very long at all. Mix that sh|t and drink it immediatly. I once made a whey shake from designer whey and put it in the fridge 3 hours later it all yellow. =/

Also I make my cassein shakes from GNC Pro Performance WHILE IM" DRINKING IT its thickening. If I'm talking with someone while I'm drinking it down or not taking it in quickly......I'm getting out a spoon and chewing that sh|t.

Most containers say "blend and drink immediatly"

I think it even says that on my ON container. Plus how long does it take to make??? Put milk or water in blender throw scoop or two of protein in press button (putting top on is optional) and drown urself in it.

Its not exactly a time consuming event that you have to make it the night before or something. In fact in my opinion its probablyu the quickest way to get protein circulating through your system. As opposed to cooking a chicken...

bump they get ****ed up rather quickley, if your doing this so that you can take it in a gym you might be alright with some shakes but think of it this way.... unless it takes you more than half an hour to get back home after your workout youll be better off just preparing it when you get back home

if your asking because you want to take a shake to school(something i used to do before i knew better....) dont because
a) you shouldnt really have whey shakes any other time apart form first thing in the morning or around your workouts
b)itll probably go bad before you get a chance to drink it in school

it doesnt have to go green for it to be bad, its not like you can tell its denatured....but it is

**averageshawn** · 09-12-2003, 10:00 AM

sometimes i mix like

5 scoops of protein
10 strawberries
1/2 green apple
1 cup van. yogurt
1/2 cup milk
3 ice cubes...

then i put in a blender

creates a paste of goooo.

then i freeze it and it becomes allmost like an ice cream...

i eat that threw out the day....

IS THIS BAD TO FREEZE THE PROTEIN???????????

thanks a lot

You go to the gym for 2-3 hours?? Does that include a lot of travelling time?

would you really be able to tell if it were becoming ineffective and then you drank it? i certainley wouldnt..... so no need to take risks...

Urrr so what does it "turn" into? When whey is in milk it doesn't denature in 2 days, so why should it when powdered?

i didnt say it "turns into anything" i just said it gets denatured..
+by your logic we can say that since creatine can be stored ina bottle for monthes on end it can also be stored when mxed with water for monthes on end....
whey in milk and whey in powdered form mixed with water are two different things.......

When curds and whey are separated, the whey is mainly water.

This is dried to get the poweder that we buy.

So during this drying process, SURELY more of this "denaturing" would happen than when i leave it in the fridge for a couple of days.

And i have no clue where you got the creatine logic from.

This thread was Google result #1 for me, but so far, it's just a bunch of guesses and whatever "makes sense" to random people. I don't have enough posts to share links, but the next three Google results (healthyeating, livestrong, and proteinreport) all say it's fine for a day or two refrigerated. It will taste and smell foul long before safety and efficacy are a concern.
