How long will the shakes last once made up?
The shakes, while made with water, are milk based and therefore will last in the fridge for up to 12 hours, however if they are not in the fridge they will last around 6 hours. They tend to be a lot thicker and creamier if they are made up and consumed immediately. If you are going to let them stand for a while, it is a good idea to give them a stir before you drink them.
