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

I found the taste of this soy powder to be very neutral. I mixed 3 tablespoons with banana, water, and ice in a smoothie and found it to be pleasant tasting. Next time I plan to add more soy powder.

Love this protein powder. It is virtually flavorless, mixes well without foaming up, and feels good on my digestion (other protein powders tend to give me reflux).

I love this product and it seems to be good quality will be ordering again and again as it is a staple in our house

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.

Arrived perfectly well. Great protein powder. It blends well, tastes pretty bland, and has no fake sugar! Thank god. I’m sick of protein powders with fake sugar in them :P

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 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 sugarI 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!
