How soon to drink whey protien isolate after mixing with water.

I store my milk in the fridge so its always cold.

Simply do it with my other food prep for the next day - also I like it to be cold as hell - so being in the fridge all night works a treat.

That's why I add 2 or 3 ice cubes, as I too like mine cold, and adding room temp protein powder to a room temp shaker and mixing soon takes the cold out of teh shake, ice cubes stop this.

If I take a shake to work I have a shaker with a protein compartment, and I put the shaker in the fridge with the milk/water and powder in it at work, sometimes will stick it in the freezer 10 minutes before mixing it as there are no ice cubes at work.

Just thinking about having the made up shake sitting around overnight or even for an hour makes me gag not sure why, it just does.

drink it straight away - the flavour isnt really going to get any better.

Mixing before your workout is fine. Some proteins develop a smoother consistency if left for 10 - 20 minutes as opposed to drinking instantly.

An example of these proteins are bulk nutrients muscle food, or bsn syntha 6.

Pure wpi really wouldn't matter much though.
