What is the best protein powder for a woman?

I was advised to get more protein in my diet, especially after an intense workout. I need to mix whey protein powder with soy milk and I'm wondering what is the best, most affordable whey protein powder? THANKS!!What is the best protein powder for a woman?
the best bang for your $ is to get a blended protein. blended proteins contain egg and milk proteins (whey and caesin). the amino acid profiles of each complements the others providing the body with both fast and slow acting proteins which are optimum for increasing muscle and helping to reduce body fatWhat is the best protein powder for a woman?
It depends on your budget, the sky is the limit. Dont go for the 'ladies' brands, they're normally more expensive and have higher fat content.





Go to a good sports store, ask for a high protein, low carb powder. Protein should be over 90%.





You can also mix it with water instead of soy milk, this makes it easier to drink, and much better for you, but again, this depends on your goals.





Remember to drink it within 40 mins of finishing your workout. This is your 'window of opportunity' to replenish your muscles.





Good luck and happy shopping :-)
