Soy-free protein shakes?

I have an intolerance for soy when consumed over a period of time.  I'm three weeks post-surgery and find myself slightly nauseous all the time.  I know how important it is to get in the protein so I need to find a soy-free protein shake that tastes decent.  Or is protein available in something other than a shake?  I was given some whey protein shakes but learned they have soy in them as well.  Any suggestions?

I also struggled with this.  I did buy soy fat free milk and added a protein packet with some puree baby fruit and blended it to make a soy shake.  I am not sure if you have a store that sells all natural products, I also found a lot high protein drinks but were also low in sugar and calories.   Good luck!!

Hi, I usually post on the main board. and today I just happen to come here :-)

we share the same problem. SOY! YUK!

I also have a intolerance for soy. I stay away from soy and tofu foods. I researched in google.com and i found a lot of soy -free protein powders.

The best soy-free proteins i really love and enjoy are the Pea Protein Powder and the Brown Rice protein powder. also i use brewer's yeast. It has protein in it and also It has tons of vitamins that we need. I sprinkle it in my yogurts, cottage cheese and protein shakes. to be honest , when I first tried the rice protein shake , i thought it was kind of chalky. But i don't care , i need my protein and i will NOT drink the other protein powders ever! Because they all have soy in them. and I feel so bloated and gassy with the other protein powders. I will not drink them ever. I only drink rice protein and pea protein shakes. all organic and non -GMO proteins. The pea protein is very tasty it is sweet. you'll love that protein. I enjoy it a lot. you'll get to like the rice protein ... i did, and NOW i really love the rice protein a lot. when you do buy soy free protein powders make sure it is a non-GMO protein powder. If you need to stay away from soy , i assume you already know what non- GMO means. If not , you can look it up in google.com. also read this here  - how to shop for non-GMO foods.  Bascially , people like you and I should eat organic and gluten free foods. Because it is allergy free of soy, wheat, dairy, nuts...etc.....Also when you eat cheese, buy cheese that are rBGH-free Dairy products Read the labels on all your foods. and you will get to know the foods a lot better. Shop at Trader Joe's and other health food stores. good luck to you hugs Lizzy
