I dedicate this week's post to Rockhurst's supplier of delicious and nutritious drinks: Odwalla. In my refrigerator you will find a large cache of Odwalla Super Protein Chocolate, an awesome combination of chocolate milk and soy. After working out with Ben Norris we like to drink our Super Protein instead of getting a late night fourthmeal at Planet Sub as many students do. Now for you nutritionists out there I am fully aware that I do not need the additional 33 grams of protein in my diet. For me, one of the main functions of "healthy" foods and drinks is not necessarily receiving direct health benefits but rather putting myself in a healthy state of mind. It's kind of like a placebo effect that overflows into other areas of my life including academics and spirituality. By drinking a protein shake I am giving myself positive reinforcement for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
