Soy free protein powder?

I've been trying to find a soy free protein powder to use in the morning instead of eating breakfast. I take synthroid (225mcg a day) and I have to wait at least 30 minutes to eat. I usually take it when I get up and then get ready for work. I work almost an hour from where I live, so I try to eat when I get to work. The problem is I work at a bank, so once I get there and get the branch ready to open and start night deposits, I don't have a chance to eat. I tried eating between customers but that rarely happens. I would like to just drink a protein shake on my way to work and continue my normal diet. The reason I want soy free is I had thyroid cancer 2 years ago and had a total thyroidectomy, but a small part od the gland was left since it was so close to the nerve. Soy can affect those cancer cells (I drank soy milk for the last 4 years since I'm lactose intolerant) and since there is a small part of the thyroid there, I avoid soy whenever I can, in case the cancer cells would come back. (Soy speeds the cancer cells up making the tumor I had bigger) I can't seem to find a soy free protein powder..so any help in the right direction would be great! Thanks!

It seems like soy is in everything these days. I avoid it also as I have an adverse reaction to it (both physical and emotional).
I use Gold Standard Whey. I buy mine at GNC. It is pretty affordable at around .77 cents a serving. You just have to buy it in the 5 pound containers. I don't have a lot of storage space in my kitchen, but have no problem storing the protein powder.

ON contains soy too... I actually don't see any right now (maybe im not looking hard enough) that doesn't contain some form of soy!0 -
GSW contains soy products. Say it right on their label
Stick with ones that declare "100% soy free", "Soy free" or "No Soy" on the front of their product label, then verify on the back

Try Vega protein powder or Garden of Life. Both are gluten and soy free.0
