Soy MILK or soy protein powder? You can basically take any regular milk smoothie or shake and use soy milk instead.
For protein powders, I actually prefer hemp or, less often, yellow pea protein powder or a pea/rice combo to soy. I find that my digestion is much improved when I avoid soy protein isolates and concentrates (and I am a bit wary of their health affects vs. soy "foods," which are beneficial).
I often use Vega meal replacement shakes (in rice milk or juice), or I make my own combo that contains many of the ingredients in Vega (hemp protein, maca).
Nutiva is the best-tasting hemp protein powder I've tried (www.nutiva.com ). They just came out with some new smoothie mixes, but they are not very high in protein, and have added sugar (not a lot, but I prefer sugar-free or sweetened with something other than sugar).
www.veganesstials.com carries Vega, as well as some other non-dairy (of course, they're a vegan site!) protein powder mixes. Several of them have sample sizes so you can try before you commit. Vega is pricey compared to others, but I think it is very high quality. They also make bars that are good as snacks.
