“Soy protein powder is a byproduct of the soya bean and consists of isoflavones, fiber and all of the amino acids you need for muscle growth,” says Shawn Dolan, PhD, RD, CSSD, Senior U.S. Olympic Committee Sports Dietitian. It’s also easily digestible, offers a smooth mixing consistency when added to foods and shakes, and is lactose- and gluten-free. If you are a lacto-vegetarian and include dairy in your diet, you can try mixing it with whey for perfect post-workout fuel.
