Storage of Leftovers

For best freshness, this pumpkin spice protein shake is best enjoyed immediately. However, if you need to store it, place it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as the ingredients may separate slightly. Avoid freezing, as this can alter the creamy texture.
