sorry soy is at the bottom of the barrel in terms of being a useful protein...

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/protein-bio-availability-explained.htm

you have to combine it with other proteins to make it more bio-available

 

If you're going to keep quoting bodybuilding sales websites as your source, you should at least note that there are some scientific critiques of using that scoring system--especially in humans.  There are other systems which rate eggs, whey, soy and casein as essentially equal.  I'm sure there are criticisms of those, as well.  But to state "soy is at the bottom of the barrel", based on the info you presented, is fairly presumptuous.

Anyway, this is so far off topic from where the OP started that it should probably be discussed in its own thread for those really interested.  The OP is probably best off eating a reasonably healthy, balanced diet and not getting overly concerned about recovery drinks of any sort.  Use them if you're in a hurry, feel you need some kind of recovery fuel, and they're easily available.

 

overall it comes down to entire diet, if your diet is solely soy protein, or solely whey, its not beneficial. Mixing protein will allow them combine and be complete - its all about a balanced diet. So all the empty sugar from chocolate milk, you better get your fiber and vitamins later in the day
