Does it do okay if you make it the night before and take it with you for lunch the next day? Does it still taste good? Is the consistency still okay?

When I need to take it to lunch the next day I tend to mix it into yogurt. So I have a container, or small ziplock, with the powder in it and then mix it into yogurt at lunch time. If you have a divided container then I put the powder in the smaller size and fruits to dip into my chocolate yogurt on the other side.

Its not as good as making it fresh but it does work. You need to put it in a container that you can shake. I use it as a meal replacement, so for me its better than fast food. I do put peanut butter & strawberries in my blender & blend it up, put it in a iced cooler & off I go!

Yes, I make my shakes the day before for work. Normally I put 2 scoops per Shake, along with spinach, almond milk, banana, and chia seed.

I haven't tried that. But, my sister makes the shakes ahead when they go out of town and she just keeps them cold packed in the cooler. She enjoys them.

I am not a fan of making protein shakes night before, they don't tend to taste good and can have clumps of powder. It all depends on the brand too. I have never tried to use EAS lean 15 the night before to be used next day. I just got one of those blender bottle which has a little compartment at the bottom that can hold the powder, and then just mix water whenever I need it. Hope this helps.

In the evening when I fix my lunch for the next day, I mix up 2 shakes with 1/2 cold coffee (from the morning of that day) and 1/2 milk (as a bonus, I get my caffeine mix straight away). Sometimes I add a banana with it. I put them in the fridge and have one pre-workout as I workout in the mornings, and take the other to work that day. I have had better tasting shakes this way rather than mix straight away. I also often add a spoonful of natural peanut butter. The combinations there really taste great. The coffee gives it a mocha coffee flavor, really good! This is regular chocolate flavor, I have yet to try the chocolate peanut flavor.

Absolutely no problem, keep the jar closed and you will be happy with the quality. Keep it in thd fridge, when you serve it, not too much sifup. Have fun

I would just do before first and last meal, i've takin it then didnt eat until hours later (forgot i took it) and it didnt upset my stomach or anything. I think just taking it before food is suppose to control your hunger later so I dont think it would matter when you took it.

I have never tried it and I don't know how and if it would break down and become smooth in your milk. The meal itself is very fine and makes me think that it might break down okay but I can't give you a 100% yes answer. I hope this helps you a little bit. Good luck!

I used them to take my lunch to work (avocado and veggies and egg salad), and they fell apart at so much as touch after a few hours in the fridge. If you use it immediately after wrapping -- not so bad. As for the taste, you must love coconut taste to enjoy them.

Put it in a plastic bag and stick in the freezer. Overnight would be best so it stays cold, but if you need it in a hurry try it in the freezer for an hour or so.

I use it in my morning shake when I run out of whey but casein is really for night time use.EDIT: I guess the answer is yes but what time do you want to drink that shake?

Yeah, I order it once a month and definitely feel the difference when I skipped taking it for a couple days.One good way to keep it is make it up in a liter bottle with warm water. Then put it in the fridge. Shake it before you pour it into a juice glass. I have to make sure my son doesn't drink it like Koolaid!

I keep mine in a cool dry place (cupboard) and have had no problems with expiring for two years and running. I noticed no appreciable degradation in taste or function even after two years in the cupboard. I eat it when the desire hits me and when it does, I might eat nothing but for days on end. I have even bought my own medium grain rice and ground it in my Kitchen Aide blender and just cooked it whenever. I tried the freezer route but it went bad on me. Somehow got ice crystals in it. Then someone told me to just keep it dry and it should stay good. It works for me so far...after a couple of years or so and still appears fine. I made a pot of it not too long ago and it tasted great. Good luck.

It can be left out the shelf life is a few months but I drink one a day. I don't refrigerate until the night before but have had it at room temp and it taste fine, never chalky or chunky. It really is great stuff.

I send lunch with our daughter, and there is an ice pack with it. When she gets home, it is not still frozen- or cold for that matter. I pack her lunch at 8:30, and she gets home at 4:00. I am sure it keeps until 12:00, which is all I really need. May I suggest a small Igloo cooler, instead? I can say that it is a great, sturdy product. Easy to clean- no smelly cracks that don't clean well. I am very happy with it, and it will last for years.

I drop a yogurt cup into it for my son lunch and it holds it from about 8:30 until he is eating lunch 12:45ish. I would imagine you would get same results or better with homemade yogurt since the pre-packaged cups leave some air space in the container.

I use it as a meal replacement if I add powdered greens to it. I guess it will depend on what your calorie intake needs to be for the day.

For me it's ok when mixed with most other things. I like Chocolate Whey and maybe some skim milk to taste. I've also mixed it with Cytomax. Personal taste, just mix it with something you like and it's fine. I'm on my third large container and don't notice the taste any more. It's a lot better than trying to eat the large amount of veggies you are supposed to eat every day.

Shake it well. Store it upside down. IMix it with juice, usually lemonade. It is kind of sour but my kids seems to like it. She is a picky eater. Good luck. It is worth it, try to get it down.
