Can I make protein shakes the night before?

I know this is going to sound silly but I'm up for work at 5:00am. I have the world's loudest blender and I don't necessarily want to wake our 3 kids up that early (hubby would not be happy as he works 3rd shift lol). Anyway I wondered if any of you have ever made protein shakes the night before and refrigerated them for morning. Do they taste ok? Thanks!

Bump anyone?

When I have done it the night before they always end up clumpy and undrinkable the next day. Though that could depend on the brand of protein.

I make mine the night before and put them in my Rubbermaid tumbler for work the next day.
I just shake them up when I'm ready to drink them.
Yes, they taste fine.

I guess I should add that I use:

plain, unsweetened whey protein isolate
either unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
berries
I use splenda but I know that's not for everyone.

It would depend what's in them, really. What are you making yours out of?

Wouldn't hurt to try. I just use skim milk in mine so I'm sure that would be fine.

I dont have the answer but I have another idea that you could do!!!

Take 2 little yogourts (fat free, low calories like Source or silhouette)

Add a scoop of protein or half a scoop, mix it together

Then add strawberries..

Its amazing, it tastes like pudding and its less calories then with milk

What does it say on the tin?

some of the protein drinks i have had say drink within 30 minutes of making.

I was thinking like a banana, pb, and chocolate or strawberry banana. Oh and I use skim milk too.

They make little hand shakers that do not require a power blender, this might work.
