V8 Juice

[sirmannyp]

I have trouble taking in the vegetables that I need. Is V8 juice a good source for the nutrients that are in vegetables?

no. you need greens. broccoli, spinach, asparigus, peppers, onions. buy pre made salads. they sell them everywhere.

 

[sirmannyp]

ok. I am trying to make the vegetable consumption a bit more convenient for when I take it to work. What about getting the veggies that you mentioned and putting them through a juicer?

lotta sodium in the v8

That's what i noticed today on the can

 

[joe d]

you could do that but i bet it will taste like hell.

I have learned to deal with nasty tasting drinks and foods. I will go out and get a juicer tonight and start pounding the liquid veggies!

V8's give you a lot of tomatoes and carrot based juices, with only a little bit of other stuff for flavor.

I drink low-sodium V8's all the time. Of course I also eat about 5 cups of vegetables daily except when I'm on missions (god I hate MRE's).
