This is a compensated review by BlogHer and V8.

 

As you know, one of our family goals for 2010 is to get 5 fruits and vegetables a day.  All of us!  The easiest way (meaning how to do it with the least amount of whining from the kids) that I have found to make this goal possible is to:

  • Puree and add.  This method definitely has the least resistance.  I can add pureed veggies to entrees, soups, muffins, and even brownies.
  • My kids love fruit dried! They’ll eat fruit leather, dried apricots, raisins, etc.
  • Making fruits and vegetables accessibe.  When I purchase, chop, peel, present etc, they are more likely to partake, then when I keep our carrots wrapped in plastic on the bottom of the vegetable drawer.
  • Make smoothies with fruits and vegetables both!  A dessert in itself, smoothies are a guaranteed success.
  • Include produce with every meal.   At lunch, breakfast, dinner, I always try to include some sort of fruit or veggie.

And when all else fails, and you can’t get them to eat their fruits and vegetables in any other way…..They ALWAYS will say yes to:

  • JUICE!!

When V8 sent us their V-Fusion, I knew it would be easy to get my family to try it.  Juice to them is like dessert.. we don’t splurge on it very often.

The benefit to the V8 V-Fusion juice, is that it’s not just fruit juice. Its vegetable juice, with fruit juice added to make it tasty! It works to. In fact, my husband even suggested I start buying V8 V-Fusion for him to take to work rather than diet soda. 

So, here is what the label says, straight from the bottle:

  • 1 full serving of vegetables and one full serving of fruit in 8 oz.
  • No sugar OR HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
  • No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
  • 100% juice!!
