Protein... drink immediately?

[Calmdwn]

I noticed some proteins directions say this... why? Does it lose some of the nutritional value after it sits mixed. I would love to mix a blender full in the morn, and have it in the fridge at work all day. But i dont wanna sacrafice anything.

Don't worry about the label, mixing it in the morning and drinking it later in the day is fine!

i wouldn't leave it overnight tho, at least if its not in hte fridge.... it smells like really rancid milk

i think if you leave most stuff unrefrigerated overnight it would start to smell pretty rancid

Exactly which protein says this on the directions?

Protein is stable in water/liquid so there must be something else in it.

as long as its just protein and stored in the fridge it should be safe for a day. as Prince said, whats else is it?

what about a weightgainer w/ dextrose etc.? though it only sits for a lil over an hour

I have only been training for about 6 months, so in that time i have tried a ton of different proteins. Im taking Optimum Nutrition Whey PRotien now, and it doesnt say it on the label. But Designer Whey Protein did, and i dont think it claimed to have anything esle in it. HAving read it on one label, i just didnt want to take any chace of wasting it by mixing it earlier. BTW, thanks for the replies.

with water and and stored in the refrige and without any other supps mixed in, i'd say its safe for a day or two, but i would go past two days
