Odwalla Superfood Drink: What goes down the hatch?

I amaze myself at how quickly I can ignore the simple things, like eating. I guess I'm doing this 30 days to try to fix that. I'm being more aware of what my habits are and what I need to improve on. Short story my habits are crappy. I really do try to at well and I'm not going to beat myself up when I stray once and a great while.

But I have this one habit that's stuck with my from high school. I forget to eat. Like for the whole day. Nothing, nada, zip. I worked on keeping snacks on me, but I would change bags or something like that and be sans food again. I best was when I left my food and wallet at home. Oh those were the days!!

So today as I ran out of the house to catch the crazy train into work, I paused and sighed "I did it again" "it's ok!" I tried to reassure myself "You can stop at CVS and they have a food section, didn't we see hard boiled eggs?" I threw up a little at the thought of convent store hard boiled eggs. But it would have to do. Sadly (but more thankfully) no eggs. But there in the food section, next to the chocolate muscle milk, was Odwalla Superfood Drink. I picked it up and read the label:

Ok time to put on my smart hat and read the ingredients...

It seemed like a lot of sugar to me. My major complaint with these things. But I need something and this seemed like a better option. Why is there always soy!?! Fine, at lest it's not the first one. And what the hell is spirulina? Turns out to be a superfood in and of it's self. Really amazing source of protein. Ok cool. But "nova scotia dulse" Ok another excellent source of awesome. By the way I love my iPhone for these moments. So all in all one of these in a pinch might not be a bad option. But with 50g of sugar (if you drink the whole thing, which you will) and 260 calories in total, I'm not going to be making this a staple in my diet. Although I think I will look more into spirulina...
