Rep Power: 277 | | | V8 fusion light
So i bought some of this in the strawberry banana flavour and WOW its delicious.
I normally stay away from fruit juices cause of the sugar content, however this one caught my eye.It conatins the following fruits and vegetables :sweet potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, beets, white grapes, oranges, apples, strawberries, bananas. Weird combination i thought, but it tastes so good. http://www.campbellwellness.com/prod...0674&catID=499
This is a link to the nutritional content.
Is this juice okay to drink as a breakfast juice. Maybe i got sucked into the whole "10 fruits and veggies" advertising boast, but it tastes delicious and i dont think it seems too bad and its not loaded with sugar. a big plus i think!

Rep Power: 218 | | | Thank you for posting, I was trying for the past few weeks to convince myself, that i love the vegtable type one. Man does the vegtable cocktail have such an appealing tast. I'm thinking, "You love it" while drinking it. (-_-) I need my vegtables but it doesn't tast wonderful. Ug. However, the fruit ones are very addictive. |

Rep Power: 277 | | | Ive never had the regular vegetable V8, but im pretty sure i wont like it.
I LOVE the fusion lights, very nice. But in moderation, cause they do taste very sweet.

Rep Power: 357932 | | | it doesn't have the fiber of real fruit so it's not really a great substitute for fruit and vegetables, and it does have calories, but if you enjoy drinking it -knock yourself out - don't kid yourself into thinking that you're getting 10 fruits and vegetables though..

Rep Power: 6722 | | | Do not let it replace real fruits/veggies in your diet. It is not a substitue for them. |

Rep Power: 357932 | | | what are in the ingredients - does it list High fructose corn syrup as an ingredient? or a ton of chemicals that you can't pronounce?
If you enjoy it - have it in moderation -- don't worry so much if it's better than something else or not... have what you enjoy...
water is always better but a glass of juice won't kill you
