I’ve been drinking a lot of V8 lately. One small 12oz bottle has just 70 calories and over half your vegetable servings for the day. (And we know I’ve been lacking the vegetable department lately.) Not everyone likes original V8, but it reminds me of tomato soup – which has been my favorite soup since I was little. But for the non-tomato juice lover, they have V8 V-Fusion and V8 Splash…both which contain a lot of fruit flavor and both of which come in low calorie versions.
But what really intrigues me is the recipes they have listed on their website. I’ve never thought to use V8 in cooking…it seems like an easy way to up the nutritional value of a lot of dishes. I think the 7 Ingredient Chili, Pomegranate Blueberry Granita, and the Pan-Seared Salmon in Peach Mango Sauce all look good and easy to make!
(I’m not a juicer but if you are, there a tons of recipes on the web for making your own V8 juice.)
