Comparing V8 Juices

I started drinking V8 Juice this year. You get two servings of vegetables in the regular V8 juice per 8 oz. glass and there are 3 sevings of vegetables in the individual serving bottles that you buy. This is a great way to get your vegetables. The regular V8 has 480 mg. of sodium and the low sodium has 140 mg. of sodium. The tastes are a little different, but the health benefits are the same.

Today, I noticed the V8 Fusnion for the first time. It has one serving of vegetables and one serving of fruit per 8 oz. glass. It does taste more like a fruit drink. The one that I bought was the strawberry banana. It is not very cheap, but the good thing about it is that it only has 70 mg. of sodium. It does not have as many vitamins as the regular V8, but it does have a good amount of vitamins. I like the low sodium as well as the health benefits.

I would recommend the low sodium or Funsion V8 to anyone watching their sodium intake, which by the way should only be 2,300 mg. per day. But, if you do not eat a lot of canned food, the regular V8 is great and it does have more vitamins than Fusion.

Something else...the single serving bottles are great for taking to work or traveling. They just seem to give an instant pick me up.
