Frozen protein shakes

jcannuck Posts: 210 Joined: 2004/01/31	2004/04/05, 02:21 PM A buddy of mine pre-mixes his post work-out protein shakes and freezes them for travel. My gut feeling is that this may alter the protein in some way. Am I right? What would happen to the glutamine ? Anybody else out there do this?

I freeze mine sometimes before work so they will keep till I am ready for them. -------------- THE NATURAL WAY IS THE ONLY TRUE PATH TO SUCCESS, PRIDE, JOY, HAPPINESS, LONG TERM FULFILLMENT AND SELF-ESTEEM!

Take your glutamine within 20 to 30 mins after mixing it in whatever liquid you are adding it to. -------------- THE NATURAL WAY IS THE ONLY TRUE PATH TO SUCCESS, PRIDE, JOY, HAPPINESS, LONG TERM FULFILLMENT AND SELF-ESTEEM!
