Hi again everybody!

Quick question---

Is is true that a v8 drink counts as 3 veggie servings? Is that an acceptable way of getting more veggies into your diet?

Thanks!

here is some info i found for about V8
http://www.v8juice.com/v8.aspx?ProductID=2469

1 serving of vegetables = ½ cup, 2 servings in 8 oz. V8® 100% Vegetable Juice. Daily Recommendations = 2 ½ cups of a variety of vegetables for 2,000 calorie diet. USDA MyPyramid

just like w/ juice, they recommend you eat the actual raw fruit vs. the 100% juice becuase the actual fruit will have more fiber and it will fill you up more, but it doesn't hurt to drink them every once in a while to get your servings in.
