V8 Fusion Light Peach Mango Juice

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Jan 17, 2008

Read the reviews of Strawberry Banana and Pomegranate Blueberry Juice, and you'll see why I seriously considered sending Campbell's (who owns V8) a thank you note for making drinking my vegetables a pleasant experience. So when I happened across the V8 Fusion Light Juice, I did a little happy dance right there in the grocery store. Could V8 actually make their LIGHT juice taste just as good as the original, with the same 1 serving of fruit and vegetables per cup, but with 50% less calories and sugar?

Yes they can, is what I discovered. The Peach Mango flavor has, as they say, "all the taste of luscious fruits like peaches and mango, and the nutrition of vegetables." It is sweet and robust with maybe a little more peach than mango in taste. But I forgave them for that indiscretion because this juice is just 50 calories per serving.

One serving of V8 Fusion Light Peach Mango Juice also has 13 grams of carbohydrates, which includes only 10 grams of sugar, but no fiber. In addition, you get 100% of your daily vitamin C, 35% of vitamin A and 10% vitamin E. I purchased a 1.36 L bottle for $3.90 which was quite expensive in my opinion.

This is one of my go-to juices. I just don't know of anything else that can match it in taste, calories and still provide some nutrition. You done good V8. You done real good with this one.
