Making Protein Shakes in Bulk

randommagic · 10-31-2007, 10:49 PM

Hey guys I was just wondering, do any of you make a couple of days of protein shakes in advance? Sometimes the job I work gets crazy hectic and it can be hard trying to find time to make another lot of protein shakes to drink, especially when you home at 11/12 at night and then got to get to work/gym first thing in the morning.

Is it ok to make say, a couple of days worth at one go? Does the protein shake start to degrade if you keep it longer than 10+ hrs? Or does it just trend to separate and get all gross if you keep it too long?

The only other thing I can think of is the RTD protein shakes in cans etc that you can find in stores but they can get really expensive.

Many thanks
Nic.

Generally not a smart idea. Make them on an "as-needed" basis.

You could blend up a huge batch of all the dry ingredients and put them in separate baggies for the week. Then just add the powder and liquid in a shaker cup when you need a shake or use a mixer like this: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mix/v3.html and voila, protein extravaganza.

Thanks for the different kind of ideas bigmanwalking, I will keep that in mind, I will try and get a little blender like you linked to, so I do fresh shakes.
