I'm no expert, but I don't think that's possible.

smell what? say you have 20 year old protein powder its probably gonna have no protein i it anymore.
so im wondering if it is deanatured or if it hasnt expired yet and is still good as a protein source

Does denaturing affect the amount of protein? I wouldn't think so.
Does it affect the smell? I would have thought yes.

Could be wrong on both though. As I have said, I'm no expert.

I don't think I can get muscle milk where I live. I also could not find unflavoured whey powder. I would prefer that and flavour it myself e.g. with honey or real chocolate.

There are some decent tasting powders out there. I use Ultimate Nutrition right now. However, they are lightyears away from "delicious".

Post by: WhiteCastle on October 19, 2008, 09:47:25 AM: If it was bad, you could go buy some new protein of the same brand, switch them, and return the old protein and get an additional one free.
