V8 Vegetable Juice

There may be some people who like tomato juice, but I am definitely not one of them. I don't even like the heavy tomato paste taste of some pizzas. Tomato juice is essentially what V8 Vegetable Juice is. Tomato juice is the first thing listed on the ingredients label, tomato juice is the first thing you smell when you open the bottle, tomato juice is the first thing you taste, and tomato juice is the first thing you puke - just kidding! I won't say this tastes bad, because like I said before, there may be people out there who actually like this stuff, but if you are not a big fan of tomato tasting swill - stay clear.


But this is some healthy juice though. Only 50 calories per cup, no fat, 8 grams sugar, 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein, 460 mg sodium, 680 mg potassium, 120% vitamin C, plus some other vitamins and minerals. I love the fact that V8 is making vegetable juices, but if I could make one request to them, it would be to come out with some different blends with other vegetables.

Duh! Everyone know that V8 is essentially tomato Juice! I mean look at the pictures on the bottle. A tomato is right in the middle, and the stuff is bright red! I mean, its pretty obvious what the main ingredient is.

I LOVE this stuff. If you don't like tomato juice to start with - don't bother. But for anyone who does - this is a no brainer. It is fabulous, filling and the Hot & Spicy if heaven in a bottle. I would rate it 5 stars without a doubt.

I like to make a pot of beans with this stuff instead of water. It makes them taste much better, and adds a bit more nutrition.

You know, at first I didn't like the taste either. After a while, you get used to it. I figure it's better than the diet coke I used to drink with my lunch. Sometimes, it takes a few times to enjoy something, but it's worth the effort if it's good for ya.

V8 has 660 mg of sodium per 10 fl oz cup. That is NOT healthy, no matter how good it tastes.

If you don't like tomato taste, try their V8 V-Fusion. It's awesome.

Yes tomatoes are fruits. Anything with a seed is a fruit. And rhubarb is a vegetable. As for sodium there are many different blends of V-8 for all your salt issues. There's "no salt" which tastes pretty bad. I use the one that has 460. It's just enough salt. Read the labels. V-8 is a cold glass of heaven.
