Re: V8 splash and other juices

[Guest guest]

Hi Elaine!

This is a good question. The regular V8 splash has a LOT of sugars in it...

look at the nutritional lable under " sugars. " (Read the ingredient lable

too... whether it is glucose, sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, etc.. it's

still sugar.) Some people may not have a problem with the sugars in various

juices making them, " dump, " but many do.

But... I've found it if I look really hard... (I had to cruise 5-6 stores to

find it.) There is a " Diet V8 Splash " out there... packaged in smaller

bottles. I've found it as a tropical blend, a citrus blend, and a berry

blend. There is a minimal amount of sugars in those, and they taste great.

Other reduced sugar fruit juice blends I've found include; " Tropicana

Twister Light, " (kiwi strawberry and berry blend.. in the regular sized

bottles!), " Diet Snapple, " (LOTS of flavors), and " Ocean Spray Light, "

(cranberry, cran-raspberry, cran-grape, and cran-mango), and " Langers- diet "

(Cran-raspberry and ruby red).

hope this helps!

My best!

<<<Hi guys

It's just me with another question. Is this new V8

splash ok or is it too sweet? I notice it has a lot more

calories than the regular veggie kind. Elaine>>>

Jen,

Great answer,thank you!! I'll be sure and keep this

list. I don't feel as restricted as I did before. There

are lots of good alternatives on your list to the diet

coke that I drink night and day. Thanks again and have a

very Merry Christmas!
