It's so easy to just pop open your creatine container and throw some in. Just make your shake the night before without the creatine, and in the morning put it in. Like said above, creatine rapidly deteriorates into creatinine. I personally don't let my creatine sit in a liquid mixture for more than 30 minutes.
I'm getting sick of people complaining to me, always saying that my attention span is...

I have read that creatine stays stable in a liquid solution for almost 30 days, then usually turns into creatinine.I saw the film, said that's the life for me
Forsake the mundane for some instability
So sue me.

I had the same question and I stumbled across this.
Is Creatine Stable When Mixed In Water?
Technically the answer is:
“NO, creatine is not stable when mixed in water.”
However, it’s stable enough for all practical purposes of mixing and consuming creatine supplements.
You’ve probably heard the ridiculous rumors going around about how creatine breaks down in water so you have to drink it within seconds of mixing it up or it will be totally useless.
Well, thankfully for us creatine is not that fragile. You can mix creatine in liquid and take your time drinking it, there is no big rush to instantly chug down your mixed creatine drink.
Creatine In Water
If you train at a public gym I’m sure you must have seen some of the local “muscle-heads” with 3-4 supplement containers all laid out on the sink in the men’s locker room mixing up their post workout shakes. Now while there is nothing “wrong” with this per say, they could save themselves the hassle of carrying around all those containers by simply mixing up their post workout shake before going to the gym, and then just taking the pre-mixed drink with them in a thermous or shaker bottle and drinking it after their workout. The pre-mixed shake will be perfectly fine and just as potent a couple hours later as it would be if you mixed it up instantly on the spot.
In fact there have been studies done on creatine mixed in water that has been left for 120 days. And even after 4 months of sitting in water the creatine was still at 80% of it’s original potency of when initially mixed. So you don’t have to worry about it breaking down and becoming useless within the matter of minutes after you mix it. There is nothing wrong with mixing your creatine drink up in the morning and then consuming it later that same day (as long as it’s kept cool of course).
