Whey Protein Powder Shelf Life.

[arakboss]

I have a large container of Whey Protein Powder that has a March 2022 expiration date but has been open for over a year. How long will whey protein powder typically last once the seal is broken?


Edit: I just mixed up a spoon full in some water and it still taste as nasty as when I first opened it so it should be good to go.

Try cutting your whey with some curds……

Just keep using it till it gives you the runs. When that happens throw it out.

Gosh I've had some of that sitting in the cupboard for probably 3 years, use it occasionally when I want to add some more calories milk if I am on the run. Have't noticed it to be an issue yet.

I have had 2.5 scoops so far and still kicking.

I find they all taste nasty when mixed with water...milk drinker here. With three of us in the house that use protein powder it doesn't expire, even when purchasing a few Costco size bags when they go on sale. We keep some milk powder around in case we would like better flavor when the zombies show up though.

It definitely gets worse when it sits. A brand new jug is delicious, a month old stale jug is drinkable but not desirable. You just need the right brand and flavor along with mixing base at your preferred temperature. I find straight water base tastes much better warm and mixes better.

I have a Costco-sized bag of whey powder that expired about 3 years ago. I've been using it for the last few months, mixed with milk ( about 4 scoops/week) and it tastes no different than the new stuff. No ill effects at all.
