Sports Nutrition, Soy Protein Isolate 20 g, 0 Carbs, Unflavored Powder, 2-Pound

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 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'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.

A serving size is 1/3rd cup. It doesn’t come with a serving cup though. I like this! It is not gritty at all and the taste is pleasant (it tastes like soy). I mix it with flavored yogurt. I like being able to increase protein intake this easily - no cooking anything - just mix it with your favorite drink or food, and it is ready to serve. Remember this is powder, like flour, and it can clump if you don’t mix it well, but that’s true of any protein powder.

Big container. Of the right stuff. Would buy again.,

If you run this through the same process you would if you were processing your own dried soybeans at home (put in cold water, blend on high. let sit for about 5 minutes, then scoop off the white froth at the top of the blender pitcher, then filter out even more of the white froth before boiling), you'll see for yourself that it's about 1/3 (volume) soy fibers (that's what causes the white froth). You'll also see that there is very little (but some) soy protein in each "serving." You'll also realize that, at least from the looks of it, this "Soy Protein Isolate" is nothing more than 100% ground up soybeans (including the hulls - that's the only way to account for *that much* fiber per "serving." There's a huge debate raging about whether or not to leave the fiber in when making one's own soymilk from the raw/dried soybeans. I'm personally against doing that. Yes, you *can* get too much fiber, and GI tract blockage *can* result (and send you to the ER). At the same time, a little fiber usually helps people, rather than hurting them. Fiber is carbohydrates. Carbs and Protein are both 4 calories per gram (Fat is 9 calories per gram, btw). The calories show on this as 90, while the Protein shows as 20g. There's a 10 calorie difference to be accounted for, and I have to believe that, while they didn't include the fiber in the carbs, they still have to account for it in the total calories per "serving." As for the serving size, 1/3 cup is INSANE. Two teaspoons per 8 oz. glass is more than sufficient to get a decent soymilk out of this. I wouldn't personally recommend more than 1 tablespoon/serving when using this in other recipes, either. Again, yes, a person can get too much fiber, and various recipes will usually have other fiber sources as well. Ask your Dr. or Gastroenterologist for help in figuring this stuff out. But anyway, just wanted to add a notation about the fiber here, for anyone interested in testing this out for themselves and deciding, together with their medical professional team, what they want to do with this product in the future. Personally, I'm done "pooping out a porcupine" as that jingle in the TV ads goes. As for taste, well, it's soy. It's naturally disgusting, as it should be, because that's how nature made it. You have to (filtered or not) bring a good volume of it (I do 3 - 4 cups of soymilk in a standard medium sized kettle, or twice that in a Dutch Oven) to a low rolling boil, immediately turn the burner down to low, leave it uncovered until your burner is at a medium temperature, then cover it, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Once that goes off, turn the burner off, leave it covered and let it cool on the stove (takes 2 to 3 hours), then pour it into a BPA-free pitcher, then add water until the liquid level comes to the top filling line. This process nullifies that "fresh mown grass" smell/taste, and makes it ready to have other flavors added to it. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue purchasing this or not. I have a whole, unopened, 20 lb. bag of dried soybeans. I'm tempted to just mill them the way this company seems to, then re-use the canister after it's empty, and just call it done. I'm pretty disappointed that they wouldn't do more to remove that excess fiber. Yes, soybeans are difficult to deal with, dried, soaked, cooked... Seems like the only thing they're really good for is (once hulled, which can be done on the lowest setting of a Regency Kitchen Center from the '70s, in a small mixing bowl with the standard beaters, with enough water to cover about 1 1/2 cups of the beans by about 1"), dry-roasting them in the oven and eating them as a snack! Still, I enjoy a good cup of soymilk - it's just that, without de-fibered soy protein isolate to use to make it, well, it's a lot of extra work no matter what. Even the dry-roasted beans have some fiber in them (the hulls aren't the only fiber source, but are the bulk of the fiber nonetheless). Again, it all depends on how much fiber you actually need, are already getting from other sources, etc. I really wanted to give 5 stars, but the lack of clarity on the label, regarding the excess fiber (isolate means isolated, in other words, "there's nothing else at all."), and also the lack of good instructions for getting that horrible natural "bean" flavor out, causes me to take off two stars. If they would fix both issues, I'd be able to give those extra 2 stars back.

I actually prefer the taste of soy over whey and this isolate is a good protein product. It has a little more mealy texture than whey but it mixes well and any clumps are easily stirred out. I usually mix it in a solo cup with almond milk and 1/2 tsp psyllium for fiber. It is pure non-GMO soy, with no sweeteners or additives such as maltodextrin. Good value also.

I had to pull out my laptop just to write my full review. This s*** is nasty. There is no nice way to put it. If wet cardboard, a moldy towel, and dog kibble could have a love child, this would be it. At least it would smell like it, anyway. It is clumpy, chalky, and froths easily. As a disclaimer, I am new to the concept of protein powder. For a long time, I relied solely on consuming protein from whole foods, usually in the form of chicken breast or other lean meats. I recently decided to delve back into vegetarianism, however with a harder workout regiment I realized that I might need to supplement my beans, grains, and rice with concentrated soy. I picked soy deliberately, seeking phytoestrogens for heart health. I first picked up unflavored soy protein isolate from a bulk bin in Sprouts, just to experiment. With some cocoa powder and a little brown sugar, I was in business. I realized unflavored protein was awesome--I could have more than just chocolate if I wanted to, which would be a huge plus, given that I was getting sick of chocolate. Prior to receiving this abomination, I was mixing my stuff with rolled oats and almond milk. This arrived in the mail. I eagerly took it out of the package and decided to try making a cinnamon vanilla variation of my breakfast oats. The next morning, I nearly threw up. I had to dump all of the oats down the garbage. I wanted to die. Luckily, I hadn't worked out that morning, otherwise I might have eaten them out of desperation. Still, I was determined to doctor up this protein powder, seeing as I have a whopping 2 lbs of it. I ordered a fancy vanilla bean powder that arrived in the mail this evening. I prayed it would offer salvation to a seemingly hopeless tub of yuck. It did not. Out of frustration, I defaulted again to chocolate. Here is a recipe for anyone who does not heed the numerous awful reviews and finds themselves on the other end of this nutritional nightmare: - 24g Now (try not to vomit) Sports Soy Protein Isolate - 10g unsweetened cocoa powder - 5g brown sugar I mixed it with 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It was gloppy and still smelled vaguely of wet cardboard/moldy towel/kibble. I mixed 1/2 cup rolled coats into it and topped it with fruit. Tomorrow, whether it's good or bad, I will be eating it after my morning workout. I'm thinking I could also try masking the flavor with copious amounts of PB2 and/or just regular old peanut butter. I don't want to write unflavored soy protein off entirely. As a fun side experiment, I'll be picking up more of the unflavored soy protein from Sprouts and seeing if it also tastes like liquid death when not mixed with cocoa powder. DO NOT BUY! You will be sorry!

This product is better than the previous brand that I ordered. Firstly it has no artificial sweetening taste that I experienced previously and easy to blend with pure milk using a shake-container.

can be added to other drink

It is exactly as expected, tasted like unsweetened soy milk. If you put the soy protein powder first without liquid, thr powder tents to get stuck. Recommended to put liquid first, then the powder. A little disappointment that it doesn't come with any measuring spoon.

これは「Soy Protein Isolate 2 lbs」についてのレビューです。 他のネットショップで2個1セットになりますが4970円(注:為替レートにより変動)とより安い店舗があります(送料500円)。「Now ソイプロテイン（高精製タイプ） 2個入り1セット」で検索してみて下さい。このページの商品は1個の値段です。 飲みにくいという声が上がっているようですが、個人的にはシェイカーでオレンジジュースに混ぜて飲んだところ飲みやすかったです。粉末が溶けにくいのが難点ですが、溶けないものはそのまま気にせずに飲んでいます。 (2022年追記)残念ながら、上記の検索で出てきていたオンラインショップ(vita9.com)は2022/4頃を最後にサイトが消滅してしまったようです。
