Review of 'V8' Original 100% Vegetable Juice

V8 - Original Vegetable Blend (Vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: mmm, tart, salty, thick, and very filling. I had this only slightly cooled and really enjoyed it. It has a really good nutritional profile and wholesome ingredients. I am recommending this and would definitely buy it again.

Where to buy: most major grocery stores



Ingredients: RECONSTITUTED VEGETABLE JUICE BLEND (WATER AND CONCENTRATED JUICES OF TOMATOES, CARROTS, CELERY, BEETS, PARSLEY, LETTUCE, WATERCRESS, SPINACH), CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF: SALT, VITAMIN C (ASCORBIC ACID), NATURAL FLAVORING, CITRIC ACID.

The ingredients are wholesome and natural and the nutritional profile is solid. For a mere 50 calories, there's no fat and no cholesterol. There's also 2g of fiber and protein and a solid dose of vitamin A and C. The only downside is the high sodium content, so I'll be keen on trying the low sodium version.
