It’s a misconception to believe that those supplements from your local vitamin stores are necessary. On top of that, they certainly do not fit within a college student’s budget, unless you really feel an organic chemistry textbook isn’t necessary for success.

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite products: soy tofu.  It costs less than a dollar at your local grocery’s Asian specialty aisle, and it is rich in high quality protein and B-vitamins. Plus it’s fantastically bowel-friendly.

I absolutely love it as a smoothie, but it is also great as a low-fat late night snack. It’s less than 200 calories and definitely holds you until your next meal.
