Idk,
I like it V8 a lot myself but I wouldn't substitute it for the real thing. Maybe get yourself a juicer and make your own out of Fresh Veggies would work out. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

There probably isn't much left of the vitamins after all of the processing. I think that's added back in. Fresh vegetables are always better.

NO!
V8 is highly processed. Its full of tomato paste, additives and other concentrates. For sodium and sugar content V8 is just as bad as every other processed fruit drink out there. If you have a food co-op or some kind of hippy organic health food/grocery store in your area, go see what they have for juices. A lot of them carry cold pressed organic juices. If you really want to do it right, invest in a juicer. Just dont trust V8 for what your intending. |

Too much salt
Too much sugar Not enough fiber You can get low-sodium V8 but you are still being cheated out of proper fiber intake and getting too much sugar. |

You don't "like" vegetables? Are you 10 years old?
Learn how to cook fresh veggies. I agree that veggies out of a can kinda suck. Properly prepared veggies, especially on a paleo-style diet, are fuggin delicious. Cooking with bacon fat, coconut oil, and butter are all GTG. How can you possibly go wrong utilizing those ingredients? Here are a couple dead simple ideas: Roasted Carrots 3-4 carrots peeled, cut in half lengthwise 2-3 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 tsp of sage, dry is ok but fresh is better. 2-3 tbs of BUTTER Throw all ingredients into a tinfoil boat, and seal. Throw on the grill on medium-low heat for 20-25 mins or until carrots are soft. Profit. Roasted Cauliflower 1 head of Cauliflower, chopped to bite size pieces 4-5 strips of bacon, uncooked and diced 1) Roast Cauliflower on a greased baking sheet for 20 minutes at 375. 2) Meanwhile, cook your diced bacon in a saucepan on low heat until the fat renders and the pieces are crisp. 3) Remove cauliflower from oven and drizzle with the contents of the saucepan. Stir the cauliflower until coated with bacon fat. 4) Return to the oven for 5 mins. Remove and Profit. Unless you are a whiney 10 year old or your sandwich maker is a shitty cook, there is no excuse to exclude fresh veg from your diet. |

Get V8 isnt that great for you. as others have said, ot much salt/sugar. The "light" or "reduced" *I forget which 1 they use* is better. I switched from the reg to whatever the other 1 is for a while but then the g/f got a juicer and we just do that.

No, not really.
Potatoes are not vegetables. V8 is loaded with sodium. It's a good drink, especially in a Bloody Mary mix, But it's not a replacement for eating actual vegetables. Cheers! -JC |

Other than potatoes and lettuce, I hate vegetables. Are you two years old? If you won't eat veggies, but will drink juice, buy a juicer and make your own juice. If that's too much work, this is better than V8

And it's even better when you can prepare them yourself to your own liking. Like marinated asparagus on the grill...
