"Best" non-flavored protein powder?

Hey fellow VSGers ...

I posted in the main forum asking about whether I should drink cow milk (has carbs and protein) or soy milk (has more protein, less carbs, but also phytoestrogens, possible not good for man-boobs).  People asked me why I was making shakes with either at all, and it's because I'm trying to get a protein boost.... getting in 70-100 grams a day is tough.

As a scientist, I often overthink things, and a few people told me to just add more protein powder in, duh.  They recommended a non-flavored protein powder into my semi-solids like cottage cheese and yogurt to really get the protein up.

I hadn't seen unflavored protein powders before.  What do you guys like?  Isopure?  Unjury?  I know I can do a search and find something, but I like a 'fresh' look in case something new is out. Also, where do you buy them at a good price?

Oh yeah, while we're at it, I'm getting tired of these 'flavored' protein shakes like chocolate, vanilla.  Anyone recommend a great brand, dissolves well, low-carb, that is like fruit punch or crystal light?

Syntrax Nectar sounds like it would fit the bill. 
It's my fav unflavored & flavored.. no carbs.
Here's an email I got when I contacted them about samples.. the only one that they don't send is the unflavored.. I buy that in big tubs as I use it in my coffee..


eta: I prefer them diluted vs mixing them strong.. but they are very good.. mix with room temp water, then add ice. Don't use a blender, or blenderball.. just a shaker or small whisk..

I just ordered my 13 flavor pack sampler for $13 - thanks so much for posting this!!  I'm really excited to receive it next week, so I can find which flavor I like best.  I'm hoping the Apple Ecstasy might work for frozen protein-sicles!

beneprotein is a powder that is odorless, tastless and will not make your drinks gritty. I add this to a glass of water or hot tea etc... hot drinks such as tea takes less stiring of the drink as the powder disolves quickly. but it works great in all drinks.

musclefeast.com has unflavored and stevia sweetened protein powders. I prefer the unflavored whey protein isolate. I use it with coffee and sugarfree coffeemate every morning.
