Hi, i was wondering that if i make all my protein shakes the day before i drink them, will any of the protein break down or become useless? I know that creatine is unstable in liquid and doesn't last very long, and i was wondering if it was the same with protein... i don't want to be buying it for nothing :s
Thanks
Peter

You should drink your protein shakes within about a 30 minute time frame after mixing it. What you can do is just put the powder in a container and take it with you and when you are ready to take it add the water. It loses its affect if not taken right away. There is another post about this in the forum. Do a search.
