I've said this before but I'm saying it again: I don't eat my veggies. The only vegetables (that word is just soooo unappetizing to me!)! that I DO eat are lettuce (Romaine and Iceberg only), I love tomatoes, corn, string beans, and cucumbers. I love cooking with peppers and onions though and I'm just now starting to eat broccoli and collard greens (I'm one of the few black folks who don't like "greens").Luckily for me, V8 V-Fusion juice was created. It's not that low in calories but an 8 oz. glass provides a full serving of fruits (I do love fruit though) and also a full serving of vegetables. So, I've been making sure that I have at least one glass daily. It really tastes good too- not too sweet, and it's actually quite refreshing.
Please tell me I'm not the only who doesn't eat their veggies! Do you?? The way that I eat I should be morbidly obese by now. Some of my favorite foods include Nathan's hot dogs and fries (YUM!), Domino's Brooklyn pizza with pepperoni, McDonald's fries, well almost any kind of fries, glazed donuts from a mom & pop diner in my old neighborhood, White Castle cheeseburgers, just about anything that comes with rice... I know, I'm sooo bad.

You're not alone. I don't eat vegetables or fruit as I should. And I luv V8. A friend got me hooked on the Pomegrante Blueberry. And prior to these flavors, they had others of which I loved the Raspberry Lemonade. Yeah that was one of the flavors, and it was actually good. I haven't had any V8 in a minute. Thanks for the reminder, I'm gonna stop at the grocery store on my way home and pick up a bottle.
Hey Honeys,
You know why I am so quick to buy fast food and unhealthy snacks? because it is so expensive to eat healthy. Whole Foods has a great selection of fresh produce but it is too expensive. FairWay used to be a bit on the cheap end, but now they have jacked up their prices as well. Anyone know a way to eat healthy on a budget...I am so tired of salads. Maybe I will try that V8 Fusion today for lunch.
Same w/ me Nai nai, Im sick SICK SICK of salads!!
@ Laughing808: My favorite ones so far are the peach mango and the tropical orange. They need to make bigger bottles though, I'm usually done w/ one in about 3 days.
I'm with you with the fries and rice. I actually love veggies, but I HATE V8, ironic isn't it! LOL
girl you're not the only one...i have to force myself and my boyfriend to eat something green once in a while, lol...
I don't dig the AMOUNT of veggies you have to eat a day, but I don't mind them either. I tried the V-8 juice and it was ok, but a bit thick for my liking. However, by the time I was finished, I was happy to have crossed off one must-do for the day. Love your blog btw!
Haha. Let me tell you ... the first time I heard of Nathan's was when I went to Vegas a few weeks ago. LOL. Apparently Nathan's is the shhhhhh%#! Silly me. LOL. But I'm with ya, I loooove McDonald's fries. Yummy. As for the Veggie drink, I don't know girl. I will try it just for you.
@ Fashion Frenzy:
Trust me- If I like it, you'll probably LOVE it... lol
Because I travel so much for work I dont have the free time to work out so I am on my a** a lot lol so to counterbalance any weight gain I must eat healthy during the week. I tend to stick to lots of veggies during the week and mix it up w. other stuff but on weekends I kinda eat what I am in the mood for so I 'think' that's why Ive maintained my weight. I used to drink the V8 Splash back in the day and it was yumm I'll try these too lol THX
First, LOVE the blog. But I don't eat veggies period. Always HATED them. So, I may try this V8 just to see but I don't know. . . .
I eat veggies occasionaly. I eat a lot of fruit to make up for it. every month I tell myself I am going to start eating more veggies. I know eating veggies are very important for health and beauty. They become very important as I'm closing in on 30.
I love this drink. It tastes soooo good. Especially the Pomegranite Blueberry. Its well worth the money.
