Fruit Juices, etc.?

If I drink some type of fruit/vegetable juice (suchas V8), will it supply me with the same nutrients as eating vegetables, etc?





I can't manage to get in the recommended amount of servings of fruits and vegetables. If I eat some fruits and vegetables, can I substitute the rest with a healthy fruit/vegetable juice?





Basically, what are the benefits of drinking these drinks?

yes you can substitute with a healthy fruit/veggie drink. they help people that cant get or don't have time to eat all the servings of fruit/veggies. the best way is to get a juicer and make you own with the daily requimed amont of veggies in on glass and the same of fruit in another, then you don't have to worry about it all day. V8 fusion is the best because it has a full serving of fruit and veggies in one glass and does not taste bad.
Reply:it's still healthy, but i think eating fruits and vegetables is better. and healthier
Reply:You're better to eat the fruit/veggies, because they supply FIBER, which is lost in juicing.


But if you absolutely can't get them all in, then a V8 is a good substitute---and take a multi-vitamin every day, too.
Reply:yes it will help some..but you can also get your servings from spaghetti sauce or you can buy a juicer....those things are awesome!
Reply:Yes:) u are deffinatlly getting


all the nutrients from the V8


I love it too, drink it all tha time:)
Reply:Fruit juices won't supply the same nutrients you need that fruits and vegetables give, although it will give you some of the vitamins, you will be lacking in dietary fiber which is very important for your regularity.





V8 and such juices are pretty overratted because they are very high in salt, more than you need in a day. If you're gonna try substituting juices i recommend that you make a smoothie or drink odwalla smoothies. The Green one i can't remember the name is really good for you because it has spirulina in it, which has like a days worth of vegetable nutrients that you should get in a day. It's really good, it might look gross but it tastes like apples.
