V8... does it taste good?

I love V8 juice.  It's slightly spicier than regular tomato juice.  It will give you good vitamins, but not much in the way of fiber.  If you need more fiber, try adding a little Benefiber to the things you drink during the day.  It has no taste and really helps in the "go" department. Linda

They have a high fiber kind now that has more fiber in it (5 grams if memory serves).  That is a 5th of my daily recommended fiber intake right there.

I always loved Regular V8, on ice.  About a month after surgery i started drinking it alot, i prefer the Low Sodium, or the new V8 w/ Fiber. It took a while to get use to the Low Sodium, but it is alot less salt for us. I proab. drink a big container a week, and then i live on all kinds of fresh veggies from our garden as well. ~Heather

I have tried EVERY juice that V8 makes and I have not found one that I like. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did. ~Kelly

I love regular V8 juice (but it has a LOT of sodium) but I despise tomato juice and the low-sodium V8.  I have not tried any of the new V8 flavors.  It does not taste like any specific vegetable -- since technically a tomato is a fruit -- it tastes like tomato with a bunch of other, unidentifable veggies (and a lot of salt added) . The only way to know if you wil like it, of course, is to try it! Lora

To me, it tastes like cold soup, which means that it tastes really good hot.

I would never drink it before surgery, but decided I needed the veggies.  I have to put it in the microwave and heat it on the beverage cycle and it actually tastes good after the first few times.  I have at least a small can a day and sometimes 2.

I try to have one can a day ask a snack. I love it over ice with some lemon. It's perfect!

Add some Grey Goose or Absolut, a stalk of celery and some hot stuff and it won't matter.... I just happen to love both V8 and tomato....
