Question About Protein Drinks
Some protein powder containers tell you to drink it within 30 minutes (I don't know why), but I know that some people make them ahead of time and let them sit to let the foam go down if they use a blender. The only time I mixed up one and then let it sit in the refrigerator for about 4 hours, it had thickened and the taste was different (and not in a good way). I don't think it affects the protein in any way, but I don't know that for sure..

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
You can mix them up as far in advance as you like. It does not affect the protein. Think about milk - a gallon of milk can sit in the fridge for a week and the protein doesn't go away, right?
However, it might affect the texture or taste of the drink. If you don't mind that, you can make them up the night before if you like.

I mix mine with cold water (from a Brita pitcher in the fridge) and crushed ice. I do let them sit for a while for the foam to go down.
