I would imagine the taste to be completely rancid. Please come back with an answer to that. Pretty sure this has been brought up before… yes.

It had seperated a little, but a short shake rectified that. Taste-wise there was no change that I noticed. This means, that 48 hours is fine. In milk-protein based drinks - like whey protein - the protein denatures after 12-24 hours of being made up and is distgusting. This doesn’t happen so readily with plant-based proteins …

So the answer is probably that yeah, it’s safe, but no don’t drink it 😃
