Whey or soy protein powder??

[Neha]

I was wondering which one is better, i bought the whey powder a while back and didnt really like it coz i ended up getting the choc flavor and could not add it to anything, thn i bought the soy vanilla powder which i really luv, the container is almost over and i want to get some more, do u have any suggestions?? No flavor powder will do too coz thn tht one u can really add to anything..pls give me some suggestions.

I always buy the whey because I buy bulk at Costco. You're right about the fact you can play with the flavor if you buy vanilla. I have mixed in everything from blueberries to peanut butter to spinach & have always got awesome results.

I like whey more than soy, but only because whey has lower carbs, and this way I have more control over the carb content of my shake. I can always add something to it if I want more carbs, and take it as is with low-carb milk if I want less.

Personally I think protein is protein is protein *ducks for cover*. I prefer the Whey only because Soy makes me bloat up and I'm uncomfortable for the rest of the day. If it does not do that to you, use what you like. I have a vanilla Whey that I love. When that runs out, who knows what I'll get - but like you, I'll stick to vanilla as it's easier to mix different fruits into it. I buy the frozen fruit and use that instead of ice - today I had a Mango smoothie - YUM!

I prefer whey because of the flavor, I like the vanilla flavor, I buy my at costco also. The soy does not taste to good to me and it gives me a lot of gas.

I prefer whey. I don't think there's as much of an aftertaste as with soy.

Hey Neha! I personally like soy protien. I'm going to link you to another post that went on a couple of weeks ago about protein. Check it out when you have some time:

Another alternative is pea/rice. A complete protein. More easily digestible than soy for many. I get "Vegan Complete" (which is protein, but also vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes...a complete meal replacement) from www.veganessentials.com ).
