How long after mixing whey into a shake is it still OK to drink?

I find that the whey/carb shake I have doesn't mix well and also I got bored of the flavour, so I decided to use a blender which should allow me to get a smoother mixture and add different ingredients.

The thing is I want to blend it the night before and take it to work the next day, and give it a quick shake before consuming.

If I was to mix the whey in with everything the night before, is it still OK to consume the following day? I've heard you have to consume the whey after mixing within like 20-30mins, is this true? I hope not because it would make things easier if I could mix it all the night before.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Hi Craig,

As long as you refrigerate it after mixing until you are ready to drink it and give it a good shake before hand, it will be fine. The only caution is that some flavouring and colouring systems that some supplement companies use may be affected by the extended contact with water, so if it tastes different or the colour is different, you'll know why.
