Protein question....

Is it ok to pre-mix whey the night before to drink the next day if I refrigerate it? Or will it mess it up?
 
Nah, man. It's no different than refrigerating any other form of protein overnight. It'll be a bit thicker in the morning and might taste a bit different (just personal experience) but effects will be the same.
 
Yep. All good in the hood
 
I do it all the time because I want to get protein in me as quick as I can in the mornings so I will pre mix a whey shake. Then when I wake up I can down it write away since I've been in a catabolic state all night. So no problem here.
 
I do it everynight when I get my lunch ready for work the next day.....I don't even drink the shake in the morning either
 
I always mix my protein only seconds before I drink it -- I HATE dealing with it when it's all thick lol.
 
I do whatever I need to do...sometimes I premake it..not my preference but efficacy is the same
 
Premade is good to go,

Or just get a shaker with an extra cup attached to hold the whey in until you want to drink, then fresh mix it
 
I do this all the time
 
Serious question: why do you need to mix it the night before? It takes 2s to make a protein shake haha.

For me personally, I mix it the night before because I need to use the vitamix to blend the protein with everything else in the shake (nuts, veggies, berries, etc). That thing is way too loud to use at 5 am. My wife would kill me if I woke her and my son up to use the blender.

Actually blending stuff up makes more sense. I was definitely thinking 1-2 scoops of protein in a shaker cup and was wondering the same thing lol
 
Of course you can it be fine

Just add little more liquid and it will have a lighter thickness stop using so little liquid problem solved :P

No problem at all with that. I HAVE TO SAY though that protein tastes SO MUCH BETTER IMO when you mix it and drink it pretty much directly after. If I'm in a rush I just throw a couple of scoops in a dry shaker bottle and when I wake up I just add water to it and down it. Tastes a ton better as leaving it overnight seems to mess with the flavor of most protein powders for some reason.

Go Vols!

Yeah, not sure if OP adds anything with the protein or not. If I wasn't, then I'd probably just wait to mix until I'm ready to drink it. I guess you could say mine are more meal replacements shakes with all the stuff I add (plus I hate most vegetables and it's a quick and easy way of getting some in my diet because the protein and nuts mask them).

Have to agree with this fine young gent. For me, I put my almond milk in my shaker bottle and powder in a little tupperware container..this is my mid afternoon work pick me up.

For my morning shakes, I go to the other side of the house with my magic bullet and blend it up as not to wake my wife......
