hi dleatx,
First, you should be able to find 100% isolated whey protein shake powders (low-carb) at any health food or sports nutrition store. Personally, I find the whey is more palatable and better texture than soy, but I know that some athletes and bodybuilders prefer soy, as it's thought to have a higher protein value.
The goitrogenic (anti-thyroid) potential of soy and other foods such as raw broccoli, kale and brussels sprouts .. is just that .. potential. It has not been proven in double-blind placebo controlled studies. Nonetheless, I've cut my consumption of soy foods way back to just having some tofu now and then, a little tamari soy sauce here and there, and I make sure my broccoli is cooked or lightly steamed and chilled instead of raw.
Moderation is key.
