does a pre-made shake lose its taste and value?

Can you get one of those blender ball shakers? They work really well (we have 4 now). You can prob go to the farthest room away from her and shake away! (I go to the bathroom to mix the shakes when I don't want to wake anyone up.)

Quality of LME and hops will definitely be reduced over time. Spoilage is less of an issue compared to freshness. I used extract kits to brew in college and there was a noticeable freshness between kits. If you can't find out how old it is, try a local homebrew store.

Not sure but the quality of the product has changed. It now tastes very bad.

I found that small lumps solid matter would separate from the juice if I didn't shake my bottles well before each use. They didn't impact flavor or efficacy for me. I always check with the vendor regarding expiration dates before ordering.

Yes, although it will lose some consistency and the taste will be slightly different. If lactose isn't your friend, there are lots of non-lactose milk substitutes you can use, some of which may actually make it taste better than actual milk.

No, and personally i was very disappointed with this product, it has a bit of a chalky flavor and tried using in a variety of ways and still did not feel this product provided value or taste. I prefer at this point to get whole milk powder from Holland and the flavor is excellent and goes allot further in flavor and sense of creaminess in everything I have used it in

I have never had a problem with "mixing" it, although I've only done it in a blender with fruits, and not just shaken it up manually.The taste is fine. Sorry but I did not read any of the reviews you refer to. Vanilla is an option if you're concerned about liking the unflavored one.

Yes. The shelf life isn't that bad, as Janet has said. Just try and be dedicated to them before you get a lot of them, even if you do not like the taste.

I'm not really sure. I just mix it with a shake. But I can do that with the liquid too. Maybe the servings.

Yes. My mother has stored it in its original container for over 6 months without loss of flavor. She does store it in a refrigerator though.

No. The mixture is now a paste.However if it stays too long unattended to, it tends to dry up or evapourate to powder form again.

Yes! I find it does have a fishy taste. And I mix it in with shakes that have lots of other things in it to cover the fish taste. It still overpowers the shake some times. I use less than a tsp. In the shake just to give you an idea.

Just divide the dose you're going to use by what the container holds... there is no way to be able to tell since most people would make the shake at their own taste, using very different amounts. I would not recommend using it more than once a day, with about 3 days (a week) were you use it twice... main reason: nothing like real protein... second reason: anything that comes in a can has some type of preservative, most of the time is salt... usually a dose of this will give you 25% of your (not) needed daily sodium intake if I remember correctly...

I haven't refridgerated mine. I must be honest, I haven't tried it again after the initial first tasting...it was THAT bad. I will try the idea below with spicy mustard and see if that improves the taste

Yes, the mixture is not thick like a premade shake. You would need to be sure and shake it before drinking because I imagine it would not stay mixed well. I have not used the Nectar this way but have with the Isopure and it is foamy when mixed so I have to shake before drinking. The Nectar Chocolate Truffle is not foamy but the Fuzzy Navel is.

No,not that I can tell, it has such a fresh taste compared to the can, but it was too large a container for my use, i didnt realize i could freeze it, and some of it was wasted before I could use it all.I will buy the smaller size next time.
