    I love it! There are a lot of vegetables I don't like, so I think it is an easy way for me to get my veggies.

    Personlly I love it! It still does have more sodium then eating straight veggies does, but its a quick and yummy way to get veggies in your diet!

    I've always hated V-8 juice. Just the past few weeks I started chugging them to get some quick veggies in. Now I kinda like them just had some for dinner tonight!! Funny how our taste can change like that.

    I was amazed how low calorie it was. I enjoy drinking so it's apart of my breakfast from now on.

    Tastes great, easy vegies, and mixes well....as long as you have no issues with sodium intake.

    I actually make a homemade veggie shake by pureeing my preferred veggies I add some organic apple cider vinegar and some water to make them a little easier to drink but I have to really watch my sodium intake... this is a way for me to stay within my sodium count but get my veggies not only on the go and easily.

    Just had some this morning, and I didn't like
    the after taste. I love regular Hot and Spicy V8,
    but it's so high in sodium. Hopefully the more
    I drink the low sodium stuff, the more it'll grow
    on me.

    I like it. I put a few shakes of pepper in the bottom of the glass before I pour it, and it gives it enough spice to be tasty. I find it kind of plain otherwise. But I drink it because of the potassium. Over 1000mg in a 10-oz glass. Not to shabby. The other varieties (spicy hot, etc) don't have that much.

    The Spicy Hot has 1000mg of potassium in an 8 ounce glass.
    (accoring to the nutrition label)

    I will try some black pepper, along with some cayenne next time.
    Maybe even a little Hungarian Paprika.

    Really? Hmm. I know there was a variety that didn't have as much potassium in it. Now I'm wondering what it was. Ha! Thanks for letting me know!

    V8, vodka and lots of ice ... yum! But I hadn't realised there were other options re sodium, and will look out for them in the store, but I don't think they have reached UK yet!

    I like it with a squeeze of fresh lemon in it. Having one egg with it makes a power packed snack of just 105 calories!

    I've tried to make myself like it because of all the veggies, but BLECK....nasty. Would have to hold my nose to get it down.

    No problem!

    Yeah, just had an 8 ounce glass, and you're right
    about adding a little black pepper! I also added
    the hungarian paprika, and some cayenne pepper!
    Even though it's "Spicy Hot" I kicked it up a notch,
    and I didn't miss the salt as much this time.

    I let it set for about 5 minutes, to kind of let everything
    desolve, gave it a stir, then downed it. Much better!
