Review on Sports Protein Isolate Unflavored 2 Pounds by Kristin Anderson

If you run this through the same process you would do if processing your own dried soybeans at home (place in cold water, stir in a tall blender jug, then filter out more white foam before cooking), you'll see for yourself that this is about 1/3 (by volume) soy fiber (this causes white foam). You'll also find that each "serving" contains very little (but some) soy protein. You'll also notice that this "soy protein isolate" is, on the surface at least, nothing more than 100% ground soybeans (including the hulls -- that's the only way to explain *this amount* of fiber per serving). "There is a lot of debate about whether or not to leave fiber in when making your own soymilk from raw/dried soybeans. I personally am against it. Yes, you *can* get too much fiber, and an upset stomach *can* cause it (and send you to the ER). At the same time, a small amount of fiber usually helps people, not harms them. Fiber is a carbohydrate and proteins contain 4 calories per gram (fats - 9 calories per gram). grams by the way). Calories are shown at 90 while protein is shown at 20g. There's a 10 calorie difference to consider, and I have to trust that while they didn't include fiber in the carbs, they still need to factor that into the total calories per "portion." In terms of serving size, it's 1/3 mug CRAZY. one glass is more than enough to get decent soy milk. Personally, I would recommend no more than 1 tablespoon per serving when used in other recipes. Again, yes, a person can get too much fiber, and different recipes usually include other sources of fiber. Ask your doctor or gastroenterologist to help you sort this out. Anyway, I just wanted to add a note on fiber here for anyone interested in testing it for themselves and working with their medical team to decide what to do with this product in the future. Personally, I'm sick and tired of the "porcupine pee" that's what this song sounds like in TV commercials. It tastes soy. It's naturally gross as it should be because nature designed it that way. You should bring it (filtered or not) to a boil in large batches (I make 3-4 cups of soymilk in a standard medium-sized kettle, or double that in a Dutch oven), immediately turn the stove to low and let it open until your Burner does not reach medium temperature, then cover and set timer for 10 minutes. Once that's off, turn off the burner, cover and allow to cool on the stove (takes 2-3 hours), then pour into a BPA-free pitcher, then add water until the liquid is the top level reached. Line. This process negates the "fresh weed" smell/taste and makes it ready for the addition of other flavors. I am not sure if I will continue to buy it or not. I have an entire unopened 20 pound bag of dried soybeans. I'm tempted to just grind them up like this company does, then reuse the canister after it's empty and just say it's done. I'm very disappointed that they didn't do more to remove this extra fiber. Yes, soy is difficult to process, dried, soaked, cooked. The only thing they seem really good for is (after peeling, which can be done on the lowest level of a 70's Regency kitchen center, in a small bowl with standard whisk, with enough water to stir about 1 1 /2 cups of beans to cover about 1 inch by roasting in the oven and eating as a snack! I do enjoy a good cup of soy milk though - it's just that, no fiber free soy protein isolate to make it up, well that's a lot extra Work no matter what. Even dry roasted beans have some fiber (the husk isn't the only source of fiber, but it still makes up the bulk of it).. it all depends on how much fiber you actually need and already get from other sources etc. I was actually going to give 5 stars but the ambiguity on the label regarding excess fiber (insulate means insulated so "nothing else") and so forth and lack of good ones Instructions on how to extract that awful natural "bean" flavor, don't take off two stars. If they fixed both issues I might return that extra 2 stars.
