Default Why do protein shakes go off so quickly?

I usually bring a protein shake to the gym and drink it immediately after a workout.

If I leave the bottle in my gym bag for a few days without washing, it absolutely stinks.

Why is this?

Eeew! Shame on you!

Whey protein is of course derived from milk.(Curds & Whey) and microbacterial spores breed like horny testosterone fuelled rabitts in it if it's not chilled.Bad bacteria too,hence the tangy smell.

I would strongly advise to washing that container in anti-bacterial washing up liquid unless you want gastric enteritis to accompany that cold Andy.

You gotta clean the dishes man. Like Gazz said a couple of drops of dish detergent ( Anti-bacterial ) fill half way with hot water and shake er up. Rinse thouroughly... Repeat in necessary...

Yeah - I washed it with antibacterial spray. Twice. Then with washing up liquid. Then put it in the dishwasher. LOL

LOL sometimes you never get the smell out.

I sometimes soak mine in Milton to clean them proper.

I leave Mrs Tall to sort mine out. She has commented though that certain brands of powder do make more of a ming than others.
