I make a shake with 16oz milk, 2 scoups whey, 3/4 cup oats, and 2 tbsp of peanut butter. I add a handful of ice and blend it up in the morning. I drink it for mid morning and mid afternoon snacks. It comes out to about 24oz so it gives me 12oz per meal. Its filling and I dont worry about the sitting for 8-10 hours. I dont know if I'd blend it the night before only because it might get real thick from sitting if you're using oats. I doubt it would go bad in 24 hours or lose much if any value.
