Soy Protein Isolate, Unflavored Powder - 2 lbs.

I love that this does not come with added flavors or sweeteners--which makes it more versatile and healthful in adding to smoothies. Using a Ninja Smoothie blender, it blends perfectly. Perfect for my needs.

I have used many protein powders. I shied away from Soy for a while because of the negative hype, but I wanted to find some cheaper protein alternatives, and I read up on soy again. Turns out the isolate, non-GMO varieties avoid any of these issues. I'm back on board the soy protein train.The good:This is plain, unadulterated, non-GMO soy protein isolate, which means the things that you're scared will make you grow man-boobs or infect you with Mansantism are not present. It's one of the smoother and finer powders I've seen, maybe the smoothest soy powder, and it smells neutral.The bad: There really is none. This is cheap but doesn't appear cheaply made. It's a sturdy container.The complicated:The only protein powders that are easier to mix are whey, beef, and egg. Beef and egg are much more expensive. Soy is good for a quick absorption and is also more moderately absorbed, but whey is quicker.You do not want to use ANY protein powder unadulterated. they just don't taste good. This doesn't taste bad (some taste bad. Pea protein and hemp sometimes smell and taste bad.) You also don't want to buy a pre-mixed, flavored protein powder, because just about every one of them uses squirrely, suspect ingredients. It's best to get an unadulterated mix like this one. I am now getting this, high fiber hemp, pumpkin seed protein, and collagen peptides and mixing them all together. 2 parts soy and 1 part each of the other. I take a big container and mix about 4 cups of soy with 2 cups each of hemp, pumpkin, and collagen. I usually mix it with a homemade green powder, coconut oil, lemon juice, stevia, and sometimes additional fruits and veggies or roots. I also sometimes mix it with cocoa powder, stevia, vanilla, and coconut oil. The consistency and taste are great.The verdict:I'm not going to use any other soy product. This mixes well, tastes fine, and comes at a very good price. If you're looking for a really fast acting protein, nothing beats whey for the price, but soy has more nutrtional properties and not as many people have allergy or tolerance issues with it. Besides, if you have some protein before your work out, the protein is already available in your system.

I’ve been vegan for over 10 years and I’ve finally decided to take bodybuilding more seriously. Although this protein powder is flavorless, it does the job and honestly, you can’t go wrong with 20g of protein for 90 calories per serving.

This is good sports nutrition in good amounts. Next time I'd get a vanilla or chocolate flavor just to smooth out the unflavored after taste. It's just that some with flavors also have sugars and extra additives. So with orange juice and cherry juice and bananas it's yummy and disguised flavor.

I'm glad to have found this unflavored, unsweetened pure plant-based protein powder. I am vegetarian, and make an effort to be vegan whenever possible, and that can make it hard to get enough protein without eating too much carbs.I tried this mixed-in with another vegan protein powder that is way too overly sweetened with monk fruit and stevia and tastes absolutely terrible. This simple soy protein powder cuts the sweetness, tones-down the bitter acrid paint thinner flavors of stevia and monk fruit, and makes the other brand vegan powder much more palatable and tasty.I have tried it on its own, mixed in dark chocolate almond milk and that's pretty good too. I haven't tried any other recipe yet, but I have other plant milks and flavoring products that I can try, and I'm sure it will be just as good, going to try it next with some berries blended in.The only one thing bad I will say about this soy protein powder is that it doesn't mix into your liquids very easily. You have to either put it in the blender, or put it in a sealed jar and shake the heck out of it for a few minutes. If you don't, you will have little encapsulated pellets of undissolved powder in your drink, and they might pop open in your mouth and you could inhale the powder into your trachea and lungs, which is pretty unpleasant. Just be careful and watch out for that.
