I've been using the Impact Whey (from myprotein) mixed with milk post and pre-workout and was wondering, can I mix 2-3 lots at once and store them in the fridge for later or do I have to consume them right away?

Its a little awkward washing out the blender several times a day :p

I did search for it but the term "impact whey consume right away" obviously wont give me results lol.
 
You do also realise that most of it is probably going to go straight out through your kidneys?

Strength athletes (read: those who actually want tangible strength improvements) only consume 10-15% more protein than the average sporty Joe, so maybe the answer is not to make so much?
 
Yup, make sure you wash out your shakers of they're a goner!

AFAIK you can store whey for several hours, in the fridge.

Sign up to UK-Muscle and search on there as it's been asked numerous times.

Alternatively just add your milk/water as and when? keep your milk in a thermos if need be.
 
I got some of this delivered yesterday in fact. A nice big 5kg bag of the strawberry. Got to say it tastes awesome with milk. With water though, jesus I nearly threw up this morning but managed to get that baby down. :p

Came home from the gym just now and got myself a glass with water again. Decided to add some vimto and my god, back to tasting lovely. Do you think adding vimto is going to have negative effects other than the sugar and what not it has in it? Thoughts?

Do you think having skimmed milk all the time would be a better option?

Also, it tastes damn nice just putting a bit of powder in your mouth...top tip there :o:cool:

that doesnt make sense. yes the milk is nice, but it wouldnt make a sickening taste suddenly taste awesome!

I think it may be that the powder isn't strong enough (maybe because i'm not adding enough) to make the water taste completely of strawberry, like a cordial would. Hence what i'm tasting is more like tainted water. I am a bit funny about water as it is, don't like warm water, cloudy water, etc. Going to try adding more whey tomorrow to see if that helps but as it stands i'm quite happy with the added vimto approach.

I actually also found that found that when I drank PhD's Synergy - both the strawberry and vanilla were fantastic with soya milk, but pretty minging with water. MP's hurricane in chocolate nut tastes alright but still much better with soy milk

1 scoop should be enough. how much are you adding?

Well this is the thing, I bought the myprotein whey which didn't come with a scoop. I noticed they sold scoops on the site for a reasonable price after i'd already committed to buying, d'oh.

I've just been adding a heaped tablespoon, not sure how that compares to a proper scoop? 25g is the proper amount correct?

So Terry Hollands only consumes 10-15% more protein than your average sporty jo? when he is 29stone and at the top of his game?

I would like to think the food he cosumes is vastly more than your average sporty jo

Or am i reading your post wrong?
 
It should tell you quantities on the packet but if you're not sure buy a sample packet which is the recommended quantity and measure that.

I wouldn't store it - it's so easy to make, why do you need a blender unless you are adding fruit to it? If you are adding fruit then I would blend a whole bunch (say blueberries) and then take out whatever quantity you want the day before and keep it in the fridge.

Myprotein do shakers for under £2 with the metal widget. I keep one at home and one at work. Fine mixing with milk and water.
