I was very skeptical at first just because I knew my husband was more so than me. He has really rubbed off on my impulsiveness to say the least. I finally gave in and got into the business as a wholesale customer. Meaning, I wanted to drink this awesome juice, but wanted to pay wholesale price for it. Leaving it up to me if I wanted to get into the buisness later. — My husband and I began drinking the juice immediately, and we both have seen such exciting results. We both have more energy now to do things, we sleep so much longer and my torn shoulder (from a year ago) was already healing properly b/c of the natural plant derived glucosamine that is in the "active" formula. I really had an exciting epiphany to sell this miraculous juice. What satisfaction I have now marketing an all natural juice drink that is helping people feel better than they ever have. My husband who has never been a health...

I know you could just dilute the original version, but thats not always practical on the run. I really wish they would have just reduced the amount of sugar in the original product! We really don't need that much sugar! EAT FRESH PRODUCE- its way  better, cheaper and more...

I first got this when I noticed I could sneak some fruits and veggies into my less-than-healty eater husband.  I like the taste, and appreciate that there is a full serving of fruits and veggies, but there is also AMPLE amounts of sugar that I am not a fan of. Granted, it is better than Kool-Aid or or other fruit "drinks" that contain NO fruit, but it still can't be a replacement for actual produce. — Bottom line- if you must drink juice, drink the V8 Vfusion, its better than most. Be mindful of a serving size, and the amount of sugars! —...

But this ain't no ordinary juice!!  To save a little, we mix the "Green" with some apple juice...still tastes...

Simply Limeade.  Like the other winners produced by the Simply Orange Company of Apopka, Florida, Simply Limeade is not made from concentrate and contains no artificial dyes, preservatives, or corn syrup -- just the ingredients you would use yourself:  water, natural sugar, and 12% lime juice.  This has the potent "smack" of limeade and thus may seem a bit tart for some people but it is also just what a lot of other people may have been looking for. — STATS: — An 8 oz. serving of Simply Limeade contains 120 calories, zero total fat, 15 mg. sodium, 35 grams total carbs, and 28 grams sugar.  — TASTE TIP: — I sometimes enjoy Simply Limeade with a moderate dash of rum or vodka mixed in.  Spiked or not, this juice seems to be a good match for hot spicy food or Creole dishes. —...

It is produced in Apopka, Florida and is orange juice that has never been concentrated or sweetened. It is a product of the Minute Maid Division of The Coca Cola Company. — Simply Orange Orange Juicecomes in a plastic container and contains approximately 59 ounces equaling almost seven, 8 ounce servings.  The bottle is clear, and looks very much like the Tropicana Premium Orange Juice.  The price is approximately $3.19 per bottle. — Simply Orange Orange Juice Varieties: —...

It offers me a new way to have my fruits and vegetables. I drink it before I go running or simply for breakfast.... it's simply wonderful! Whatever the occassion is, V8 fusion is a healthy, delicous, option! I love how you can't even taste the vegetables! — — I would totally recommend...

And yes there is caffeine, which is listed like 3rd to last on the ingredient list. — —     The bottom line is this.....its good!  Its better than  a lot of other low-calorie  drinks out there.  Full flavored and satisfying to your...

(12 oz each)  Which is a very convenient size for me; not so big that I can finish it at once time. — Cranergy Energy Juice Drink contains Green Tea Extract & B-Vitams for energy.  It's also blended with cranberry & grape juice.  I really like the taste of it.  It has 50% less calories and sugar than other energy drinks as well.  This is actually the first energy drink I've ever purchased, and the reason for that is I'm afraid of throwing a bunch of caffeine into my system.  With this beverage, I feel that the "energy" comes from a healthy source. — As much as I liked the taste of this products, my children did NOT like it at all.  Which is good because God knows they don't need extra energy!  Also, it's not like these drinks are...

It tastes like you squeezed the oranges yourself. It is 100% juice, no added sweeteners, not made from concentrate and is packed full of good stuff. Simply Orange claims that their juice is gently pasteurized and that they are certified by the American Heart Association. The juice comes available in different amounts of pulp, and you can get it with added calcium.  In addition to Orange juice, they also offer limeade, lemonade, grapefruit juice, and apple juice. They are a little pricier than most brands, but WELL worth it! — — I, myself, am a big juice drinker. I have been working to cut out the pop, and even though I drink a lot of water, I don't always want to drink water, so, orange juice is my favorite alternative. I am very picky when it comes to orange juice, and have stuck to Minute Maid for years. Luckily, my grocery store was out of the size of Minute Maid I buy, so I...

It is so good, it tastes exactly like a sweet juicy orange. My only problem is that I drink it so fast that the cost adds up, so unfortunately I only get it every now and then :( Homestyle is the one I get and it has a lot of pulp. I used to hate pulp but now I love...
