Odwalla Juice Drinks... worth it?

'K.. I've been hooked on Odwalla fruit drinks for the last month or so... they're delicious, all-natural and healthy (doesn't that sound like an advertising slogan?). I have a question, though... I've been drinking their protein shakes, and I'm curious if they're really all that effective or healthy at boosting the amount of protein in my diet... i.e. is it worth the taste and the money for the extra 18 grams of protein?

I circuit train, three times a week, I wouldn't mind building extra muscle mass... but I'm more worried about just getting an adequate amount. I almost never eat meat, living in a dorm - I honestly do not trust the hall food services. Any input?
 
It'll be a hell of a lot cheaper to make your own drinks. The Odwalla ones tend to have a lot of added sugar as well.

Any suggestions as to where to start?
 
it's funny, i just got done doing a case study on Odwalla and how they lost consumer support after the E-Coli incidents a few years back. from what i've heard they've done a lot to ensure health and safety, but i dont know, i still woudn't trust it

I haven't had any issues with them.. they pasteurize all their products now.

Just gotta make sure they're not left out of a fridge for more than a few hours.
 
Not worth it to me...I'm happy eating a Banana and drinking plain old orange juice...but you probably have different values from me

How's that? 😉

That's true.

That's not true. Odwalla doesn't add sugar to thier drinks.
 


<< aren't they almost 3 bux a drink? might as well get jamba juice😛 >>



They're expensive, yeah... next year, though, max meal plan (gotta love being selected as an RA), not my money, might as well live large!
 
Added sugar? .. I don't think so.

Certainly. Of course, juicing yourself is better.. and I highly recomend it. But you have to buy a good quality juicer, like the juiceman.. lol.. seriously. It's expensive, but just think of how many 8oz bottles you could fill in its lifetime.. 😉

Drink all the Odwalla you want, most people don't get anywhere near the ammount of fruits/vegies they should a day.

Another reason I've been digging in to 'em... if it weren't for Odwalla, I'd seriously have mostly water/sugar/carbs every day, almost no protein, leafy greens, etc.
 
Not worth it! I'd rather have an apple, a banana, and an orange everyday.
For a real deal, I'd go for a Jamba Juice (or if you're lazy to make your own drink)
 
I get Odwalla at school sometimes with my meal card because you get everything half off with it, then the price isn't so much.
