V8 V-Fusion Acai Mixed Berry 100% Juice Review

In the spirit of climbing every mountain and fording every stream, I used a dollar-off coupon to try something new (for me) today:  V8 V-Fusion 100% Acai Mixed Berry Juice.  At the regular price of $4.59 for a 46 oz. bottle, this stuff was not cheap but it is a good quality beverage not only because of what it contains but also because of what is NOT in here:  no sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial dyes -- what we have here really is 100% juice.  The crafty folks at the Campbell Soup Company have managed to come up with a line of juices which combine both a full serving of vegetables AND fruit in one 8-oz. serving.  Acai Mixed Berry has a refreshing, not-too-sweet taste comprised of ingredients which include water and concentrated juices of purple carrots, carrots, sweet potatoes, white grapes, apples, acai, blueberries and limes. 

STATS:

A 48 oz. bottle holds six 8 oz. servings each containing 110 calories, zero fats of any kind, 27 grams total carbs, 26 grams sugars, zero protein, 100% (D.V.) each Vitamins A and C, and 2% each Calcium and Iron.  Although the label clearly states that this is not a low-calorie beverage, I have since learned that V-Fusion also comes in "Light" varieties which are probably also delicious and worth a try, next time I find another dollar-off coupon.

TASTE TIP:

Everyone knows that fruit juice should be chilled before consuming but V8 V-Fusion 100% Acai Mixed Berry Juice is especially good if you pour a little into a plastic water bottle and stick it in the freezer for a while to get a bit of a "slush" going.  Because there is no added sugar or corn syrup, this is a lovely beverage to have a taste of an hour or so before dinner with no risk of spoiling one's appetite.
