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.)

The longer you store it, the more the flavor will deteriorate. You can freeze the whole bag and take it out before you start using it, if you like. I wouldn't plan to keep it longer than 3 months.

Nothing that I noticed or that bothered me. Wash before first use. I imagine any unusual taste would be gone after a few washes.

I know the flavor is not that good but the results are worth it. When I was making the shake, I used one banana or 1/2 plus other fruit. I also used cantelope, pineapple or kiwi. This helped improve the taste.

I'm not exactly positive I keep stock of all flavors and they last a while. They are so good you won't have to worry about them sticking around truly the best protien shake I've ever bought.

My palate isn't advanced at all so I can't detect any subtle changes. I have everyday whiskeys and I haven't been able to taste any changes in flavor or alcohol content in any bottle. Good luck and cheers.

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

My most recent shipment doesn't expire until March 2015. If you use it like you are supposed to you go through two bags per month of the Vi mix. That is if you take two shakes a day using two scoops in your shake.

The actual mix is like a vanilla flavor. I haven't had a plain shake on its own, I like adding in jello pudding mixes for flavors. It picks up whatever flavor of what you mix, but you can still taste the hint of vanilla--you can find a ton of recipes online. Personally I do not feel its gritty like some people have said, perhaps because I like malts (which tend to be gritty), I just don't notice it. Also, some say its just too sweet. I love sweet, but I think too it could be if you use water, milk, almond or soy milk. Using ice and certain flavors I feel it tastes like a blended frozen drink from starbucks or an icecream shop. I think meal replacement drinks like slim fast are watery, with the frozen blending it totally adds more consistency and you can make it taste anyway you want.

No it does not! I keep it in my pantry until I actually use it to make a shake/smoothie.

No, its not a dumb question! If you use pre cooked chicken the paste wont get mixed with the chicken to its core. if its uncooked then the chicken smell will replace with the spices and its aroma.

I use to mix my right size smoothie with Yo-plait Raspberry Cheesecake yogurt. It taste real good with the original products. When the company sold their products to another company, that company left out that important ingredient called appetmine. The product that they now sale taste very nasty. Many people had agreed with me. The product does not taste the same. The new company tries to come as close to the original products but without the appetmine. The original company sold the company but not the recipe.

I usually drink it after it's been made. When I was on a liquid diet, I did refrigerate since I didn't have the blender at work. It still tasted good but not as creamy as when it is first made.

I have purchased both the shaker and the packets and have never noticed a soapy taste. It may be portion...the packets may be easier for you to control. I put mine in seltzer that I make myself, so its made with water from the tap.

Nope, tastes just fine. I am sure if you left it in there for several days at a time it might? But I never did so I am not sure about that.

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.

I actually ran out of the shake powder so I'd say no. Not for 2 people unless you order twice during the month.
