Lowest (lower) calorie Protein powder?

I rather like the taste of Syntha -6 Protein in all flavors, especially Strawberry and Chocolate Peanut Butter but found that many times it was too high in calories for me to use in my smoothies between meals. Generally 1 scoop is around 190-200 calories for a serving providing around 20+ gr of Protein.

I tried (and like ) Dymatize Iso 100 Berry flavored protein at 106 calories per scoop serving, also at 20+gr.. but was wondering if there is another protein that I could try that had even less calories per serving, but still provide the same or similar protein amount.
Taste may or may not be a factor as I am looking for something to add to other foods/smoothie recipes to increase the protein without blowing up the calories…

Is there anything out there that you would recommend?

    Thanks, I had not found anything lower than Dymatize during my shopping... I guess I also didn't really think it out at 1 gr protein = 4 calories (even though I knew that) and how good low cal Dymatize is in actuality..

    Trutein is about 125 cals a scoop.

    Syntha-6 is the best tasting imo, but the cals are really high.

    Designer Whey protein powder (I like the double chocolate) is only 100 calories per scoop, 18g protein, 2g suger - 6g total carbs and 2g fat with very little of anything else in it. This is the lowest calorie per scoop protein I've found but it's also lower protein that Optimum Nutrition which I also use. Vitamin Shoppe carries it but GNC doesn't, I'm sure you can also get it online.
