Is V-8, V-fusion a good substitute for veggies?!


Question: My man will not eat veggies!!! He doesn't like anything I have had him try. He only likes peas and corn(which have no nutritional value!) and sometimes carrots(which are good but not enough! He needs greens!) He won't eat greenbeans or brocolli or anything like that. I tried putting some cheese flavor on the greenbeans but he still spit them out...
Is V-8, V-fusion good enough to substitute? I guess it's better than no veggies at all, right?

its pretty good, I drink it...
Okay I just checked.. it says: Each 8 fl oz glass of V8 V-Fusion juice provides a 1/2 cup of vegetables and 1/2 cup of fruit. The USDA MyPyramid recommends a daily intake of 2-1/2 cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit for a 2000 calorie diet. So around 4-5 glasses per day. There is some natural sugar (23g per serving) that comes with this (no sugar added) so he might not like it... he can try it. Each serving (8 fl. oz.) is 100 calories


but tell him to eat Broccoli, its good for men's health... if he doesn't like beans make him some green bean casserole, I hate green beans but I like the casserole... good stuff.
Everyone is entitled to not like a certain food, his just happens to be something that is very good for him! Report It

    • veggies are much better than just veggie juice
    no, eat your veggies
    I think its a great substitute i drink it all the time
    Yes it is but it has alot of sodium. The best veggie sub. is called extreme green. They sell it in health stores.
    Your suppose to have 5 servings of vegggies a day. And one bottle of V-8 has 11 serving. So technically your suppose to have five but you could get away with about three. The only problem is they don't taske that good. Maybe you should try making him soups or stews cooked veggies have less nutrients but they're still really good for you. :)
    Are you sure he's an adult. Tell him to grow up and eat his veggies. Nothing is a true substitute for whole food.
    You can tell your man that he will die young if he drinks that junk. He's gotta force the vegetables down him, cooked, mushed or raw. Do you want to loose him to some stupid fussy food problem? We were meant to eat them. If he really can't 'handle' it then make sure he guzzles down the fruit.
    Yes it is! I love it, and my mom stays happy !
