Question about protein powders
I went to GNC today to check out protein powders, as I have never used them before. When I saw my nutritionist, she told me I could buy the unflavored and mix it with everything from broth to pudding. I noticed they carry two kinds...one is whey and one is soy. Does anyone have an opinion on these? I know taste is an individual choice, but I wondered if they have a texture or whether or not the soy is an issue for women. Some talk about soy being good for women and some talk about it as not so good. Any feedback? Thanks!

I have heard bad things about Soy... I bought Whey protein and honestly only used it in Pudding. The whole unflavored thing is a myth. I just drank the protein shakes that Dr Pohl sells in his office..my fav was the Wild Berry....
Good luck!

When you say you've heard bad things about the soy, are you talking about the taste/texture or other health issues (that estrogen connection)? I wondered about the unflavored aspect. Thanks for clarifying that for me, Danielle. I'll keep that Wild Berry in mind, too!
