Fruits and Veggies Anyone?

First, let me apologize for my lack of posting.  Homework and half marathon training have been consuming my life.  During the time I've been MIA, I discovered this stuff:

Awhile back, I was commenting that I feel I don't get enough fruits and veggies.  If anything, I tend to eat more fruit because it's sweeter.  Veggies I'm not such a big fan of.  Well, I was out shopping last weekend and I needed a snack because for the first time in my life, I forgot to eat.  That's right people, I forgot to eat.  The worst part of this is that I forgot to eat lunch after running 5 miles on Sunday.  You can imagine how hingry I was by the time I realized that I was in need of a snack.  My girlfriend and I were at the mall which equals not many healthy choices.  I found one sandwhich place in the food court where I could get a yogurt and a small bottle of the V8 Fusion Juice.  I had wanted to try it for awhile, but was apprehensive that it was going to taste like vegtable juice or have a funny texture.

I am happy to report that none of my fears were true.  This stuff is so good!  And one serving of the juice has a full serving of fruit and a full serving of veggies.  Not to shabby, if you ask me.  I was sure to stop at Target on the way home and bought two big bottle (and they were on sale!).  I bought one of Strawberry Banana and the other is Peach Mango, which I'm looking forward to trying.  I read the nutrition facts and it's 120 calories for 8 ounces (the equivalent of eating two pieces of fruit) and there is no sugar add (always a plus).  So in the end, I highly recommend trying this stuff out, if you haven't already!

  1. Nice! I am a huge fan of the "Naked" brand green machine drinks- like a green monster, but sweeter!

  2. I haven't had that in a long while. I hear green monsters are great too and you can't even taste the vegetables!
