I've just picked up my first package of low sodium V8 (watching my sugar and sodium intake) and I've been too scared to try it. I've really been packing in the veggies and fruits in the last few months and have actually noticed a performance difference!

I understand the sodium issue as I've had my share of problem with high blood pressure. I liked V8 as a kid but I'm a little scared to try the Low Sodium V8. Good luck with that!

Update:

I tried my first can of it today. The taste on your tongue, at least IMO, was very unpleasant. But the aftertaste was better and doable, as long as you can tolerate the taste of tomato soup. I drank it fast, and toward the end, honestly it was difficult! LOL

My mom said to put it in a different glass and to drink it WITH something, like a sandwich or crackers, that it makes it more tolerable. I'm going to try again!

I drink the V8 Fusion... more options for flavors and you get a full serving of both veggies and fruit in every 8 oz. glass. I think it's 120 calories per glass. Not sure on the sodium though. I drink a glass every morning... I do not get the Light version. Tried it... bad after taste PLUS only 1/2 a serving of fruits & veges.

Fusion is my FAVE but the sugar is the thing that bothers me in that. The DBF said he HAS to switch to the Fusion because there's no way he's downing that V8 anymore! LOL!

I should probably try something like these, but I just can't hardly stand the taste of most of these types of drinks :mad: . I know that's a generalization, and I shouldn't knock something until I try it. I think Joe likes the Fusion's so maybe eventually I'll try one. ](*,)

V8 Fusion is DE-LISH! Trust me. It's very good, as long as you like a fruit juice. It doesn't taste like carrots, like some people say! LOL
