Foodie Friday

Today's post might be more appropriately called "Fluid Friday," since I'm writing about one of our favorite breakfast juices/drinks--V8 V-Fusion Light.


Now, before you stop reading on the basis that I just used the words favorite and V8 in once sentence, please "hear" me out! ;) V8 V-Fusion Light does not taste like vegetables (I'm not a fan at all of regular V8) and comes in three varieties: strawberry banana, peach mango, and pomegranate blueberry. All are made with the juices from a number of fruits and vegetables such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, beets, white grapes, oranges, apples, strawberries, and bananas. One 8 oz. serving of our favorite, strawberry banana, has only 50 calories and no fat (yay) or fiber (boo). So, for only 1 WW point, you can have your fruit/veggies (1/4 cup veggies and 1/4 cup fruit = 1 combined serving of fruits and vegetables) and drink them too!

Just a word of warning...while normally the regular version of something tastes better than the light, I would not recommend regular V8 V-Fusion. We've tried it before, and it tastes much more like vegetables, with a thick consistency, which is not how I like my juice! So, we stick to the light version, which means a smaller serving of fruit/veggies per 8 oz, but also less than half the calories, too!
