V8 Healthy Greens, 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

I usually make my green juices, and green smoothies, from fresh vegetables and fruits, but I'm really busy now, and sometimes I just don't have the time, or all the veggies, to make the juices. This is, I think, a great alternative. It does taste, primarily, like a salad in a drink, but I love green salads, so that's okay with me. The inclusion of apples and pineapples, however, makes this drink a lot sweeter than an everyday salad. Since this is low calorie, with no sugar added (there is no Sucralose in mine), I usually drink one as a mid-morning pick-me-up, and one in the afternoon. (I have a small glass of orange juice with breakfast and a small glass of Concord grape juice in the evening.) Since this drink isn't filled with chemicals and preservatives, I do feel it's a healthy substitute for juicing fresh veggies and fruits. Even if you don't care for the taste, try to drink one each day. They do grow on you, and I think you'll find yourself liking them after a week or ten days. Besides contributing to your overall health, they are a beauty product as well, as green juices are great for the complexion. I'll continue to buy these and keep them on hand for days like today, when I've just been too busy to shop and juice.

I ordered the Healthy Greens flavor. I really enjoy the flavor, noting mostly a carrot and cucumber flavor. I would have been ok without the added apple for sweetness, but I am not big on sweet drinks. If you are looking for sweet, this isn't the flavor you want. It is definitely veggie flavor like the V8/tomato juices.It is a little high in sodium (13%), but can easily be worked into a sodium restricted diet if you are on one. My personal preference would have been to let some of the pulp in the drink to raise the fiber content (4%) to match closer to eating a vegetable, but you are still getting some of the healthy from the drink as it is.I recommend this flavor for those who love veggie drinks. I have just ordered my second case since it is not a product I can find on any store shelves in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

I'm giving this 5 stars. Its not the tastiest drink in the world but its drinkable. The most important thing is, I have son who is on the Spectrum and will not eat hardly anything, much less a vegetable. I have wasted so much food and money trying to get him to eat. It is one of the most stressful things in the world when your kid won't eat. I scour Amazon and the internet looking for things I've never tried, especially with vegetables in it that I may be able to get him to eat or drink. I took a chance on this because even if he won't drink it, I know I will. Again, the taste is not amazing but it is neutral enough to where I can mix it in with his apple juice and he will drink it with no problem. Also, its a green color so when I mix it it doesn't look too much different. We go through a bottle or two a day and this is a huge win for me. I feel like a better mom knowing that he's getting at least some form of vegetables in his diet. Thank you V8!!!

I brought these because I am not a big breakfast eater. So wanted to get these to take with me to work after a good workout in the morning. It is good as greens can be good. You will taste all the ingredients. I like it better cold. It can leave carrot aftertaste in your mouth. I like had the taste up to an hour later and remembered what I was drinking. So try to have some mints or wash it down with a bit of water to get the taste out of your mouth. But it is good, again great for breakfast or snack. Especially after working out. I love them

I love V8 Healthy Greens. Not at first sip, but after about three of these Healthy Greens babies, I was hooked! In mid-March 2020, when I really needed food deliveries, I could not get AZ deliveries because I don’t have Prime. I found a warehouse online that would ship quickly, for free. I found TP, PT, alcohol wipes, good nuts, and 24 and 12 count flats of various V8, Welch, and Tropicana products. V8 Healthy Greens looked interesting, but I expected it to be a taste challenge. There was no real description on the listing; I had no idea what was in it. I just knew it was V8 and it was green. I like spinach, so I took my chances. Within a few days my stuff arrived. I first reached for the V8 Greens. My reaction was: “Hmm. That’s interesting.” It’s a little thin, I thought—obviously from the 25% filtered water used to keep the calorie count below 100. It is 6 oz. veggie juice and 1 oz. fruit juice. 1.5 servings of vegs & 1/2 serving of fruit. Made with the JUICES of 1/2 pound veggies and fruit. There are 5 key ingredients illustrated on the label: spinach leaves, yellow carrots, green apples, pineapple, and the ”5th ingredient” which is a cluster that includes cucumber, celery, kale, romaine lettuce, spinach, green bell pepper. The ingredients list includes all those as juice concentrates plus the filtered water (25%) and natural flavors & colors. (huito and watermelon juices for color). Here are the numbers: 90 calories per 12 oz. bottle. 1gr fiber. 17gr sugar. 21gr carbs. 2 gr protein. 300mg sodium. Calcium: 40mg. Iron: 1.2mg. Potassium: 500mg. Vit A: 270 mcg. Vit C: 30mg. 0g added sugars. No artificial sweeteners. The 17gr sugar is from the green apples and pineapple. We all have different taste buds and reactions to various flavors. I have developed a real liking for this juice, but I know it has those sweet fruits included to make it more palatable to people. What I have recently discovered is that I love mixing this juice (50/50 mix) with old favorite low sodium tomato based V8. The two mixed together is now my very favorite veggie juice. Try that for your Bloody Healthy Mary. The two mixed is almost addicting to my palate. I now order 24 bottles monthly. I think I need 36. I really like this green juice, but I also know it is pasteurized. I get a much better mix of healthy greens from a cold pressed Clean & Green juice I buy for $3 at 7-11. Yes, 7-11. Who’d a thunk it? Look for it cold in 14 oz. glass bottles. It is sometimes here on AZ at $10/bottle. Made with juice from 25 kale leaves, 1 parsley bunch, 1/2 celery, 3 cucumbers, 15 spinach leaves, 1 lime, 2 green apples, 13 mint leaves. 80 calories per 8 oz. serving. 6gr sugar. 18gr carbs. 4gr protein. 4gr fiber. 80gr sodium. Calcium: 154.9mg. Iron: 3mg. Potassium 730mg. I love that one also, at $3. There are several varieties. Enjoy. Stay safe out there.

Great taste, but the mystery is where is 200mg of sodium coming from? The 200mg is listed on the label. Nothing in the ingredients list should have all that sodium. Contacts to the company failed to get to the bottom of this issue. Bottles are too small (they do offer it in 46 oz bottle, but still not large enough).
