Weight-Loss V8 fusion light

[fayefaye5]

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.



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!

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.

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.

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..

 

[fayefaye5]

yeah i saw it has no fiber.

Does it have ANY of the real fruits and veggies goodness? or just a bit of juice?

Do not let it replace real fruits/veggies in your diet. It is not a substitue for them.

 

[fayefaye5]

yeah im not counting it as a fruit/veggie replacement.

Is it any better than existing fruit juices though?

 

[maleficent]

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
