Pre-Mixing Post Workout Shake

[Number-LL]

Just curious what everyone's opinion is on mixing up a protein shake at night to be drank the next afternoon after a workout? Of course it would be refrigerated.

I assume it is okay since there are drinks like Muscle Milk, etc.

Whats in it?

 

[Mudmanmuscle]

Your fine.

Good question snookie. The main thing I would be concerned with is a couple of eggs.

I would think the whey wouldn't break down or anything. It is just more convenient to mix at night because of all the stuff I put in it. Not too big a deal but I have more time most evenings.

You should be fine as long as its in the fridge man.

I've been doing it for 15+ years!

It tastes much better because the flavors have time to meld.

I make my post-workout shake as follows:

12-16oz NF milk + 2-3 scoops whey isolate + 1/2 cup powdered oats + 1-2 bananas

Hmm. I always make mine fresh. Never thought about advance prep.

I was just about to say they taste better, but you beat me to it.

Mine is:

Powdered Milk
BCAA
dab of creatine
1/4 scoop dextrose
1 scoop ground oatmeal
1 scoop whey isolate
1/2 scoop casein
2 eggs
a little fiber powder
add an ice cube, water, and shake

 

[MR. BMJ]

Yea, they taste much better if you make them the night before.

I blend the oats up in a Magic Bullet Blender, and I use TN's Strawberry Coconut whey isolate.

I also usually make one of the following because it is quick and easy:

water + 2 scoops whey isolate + 1/2 cups powdered oats + 1-2 Tablespoons of PB or Almond Butter....and sometimes i'l add in some olive oil.

Also,

Water + 2 scoops of whey isolate + 1 cup frozen blended blueberries + 1/2 cup spowdered oats + 2 splendas.

The first one I posted in my initial post, i've been using almost exclusively for the past few years, but the amounts of each ingredient changes up/down depending on my goals.

Also, the night before, I make my protein pudding for the next morning:

1 cup (225 grams) Greek Yogurt + 2 scoops TN chocolate whey isolate + 6 splendas + 1 HEAPING scoop of Hershey's cocao + 1-2 T of either almond butter or PB. Stir that all up in a bowl, then squirt some Hershey's sugar free syrup on top. Put in fridge, and the next morning eat. It might be my favorite meal to be honost

If I make them at night I leave out the egg whites I just don't trust it lol. Much more effective to make them the night before saves a Tom of time.

2cup whole milk
1 scoop whey ON vanilla
1 scoop casein ON vanilla
1 banana
1 cup berries
1scoop ON BCAA

They should be perfectly fine since the egg white are 100% pasteurized.. And BTW how in the hell did you sneak in past me? I see you signed up while I was out with my fathers death.. Glad to have you here dude..

WTF are powdered oats?

 

[Number-LL]

WTF are powdered oats?

You might be able to buy it but I just run oatmeal through a coffee grinder.

 

[MR. BMJ]

I just grind them into a powder using my Magic Bullet blender. It mixes up well in shakes and seems to intensify the flavor.

Wouldn't that greatly change the glucose index in the wrong direction. I know going from whole oats to quick oats changes the GI.

Lifts, it may a little, but I don't put a lot of confidence in the glycemic load or index personally. If I was diabetic, I most definately would. With the oats incorporated with other foods (whey, sometimes milk, sometimes bananas and blueberries, etc) the GI will be lowered anyway from the oats as an individual food item, which is how it is rated on the GI index. After you chew it thru the mastification process, it will mechanically be broken down anyway before reaching the stomach. Because other foods are incorporated into the mix, it will decrease the rate at which it is absorbed from the stomach lumen to the small intestine....well, it all has to be liquified anyway before entering the small intestine, where absorption takes place.

All very good points.
