making protien shakes in bulk

I like to make protien shakes with fruit in a blender, but it could be a pain to just make 1 shake every day. Is it okay to make an entire pitcher of the shake and keep it in the fridge? I just dont know, would the protien go bad or anything?

However, I would suggest for no reason other than being 'sure', going through the 'pain' and doing them when needed. The longest I ever let one sit is overnight and this is actually sipped throughout the night when I wake up. I am not a fan as you may guess of the ready made drinks. I think everything has a shelf life of some degree. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."

I am like BB1, never let them sit longer than 12 hours so I am not sure of what is lost if anything in that amount of time. -------------- Bettia \"Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open.\" - Lord Thomas Dewar
