V8 V-Fusion Sparkling Review & Giveaway

I like juice…

…I especially like juice that has vegetables in it.

I also enjoy soda, but I hardly EVER drink it because I know it’s just not good for me. But, there’s something just so refreshing to have something sparkling and tingly touch your tongue. 😀

So, here’s the compromise!

V8 V-Fusion has come out with a new Sparkling juice that has a full serving of fruits and veggies in every serving (1/4 cup of veggies and 1/4 cup of fruit). What? What?!? Genius.

The flavors are:

  • Black Cherry Pomegranate (the one shown here)
  • Strawberry Lemonade
  • Tangerine Raspberry

They are all just 60 calories for an 8-ounce can! They do have anywhere from 11-13 grams of sugar, but that is purely from the fruit. There’s no added sugar, artificial colors or flavors or preservatives. My kind of drink.

It’s seriously good. I first tried it when I was at BlissDom.

Eee….it was practically the only thing I wanted to drink while I was there, besides water. And boy, was it tasty! I slurped up the entire can in minutes. Mmm!

I can have another? 😉 

Anyway. I’m so excited to finally be able to get some of this V8 V-Fusion Sparkling in my local grocery store. It’s supposed to be coming out at the beginning of May! Yay! 😀

I may just have to bring a couple of cans to the hospital when I go to deliver! Maybe even get on the nurse’s good sides and share! 😉 That’ll work, right?

To celebrate the release of V8 V-Fusion Sparkling, I’m hosting an awesome giveaway!

  32. Amazing food photography yet again. I’m salivating. Wonder if the V8 folks ever thought about changing the branding to a more sustainable name like V4 or electric hybrid? Their product is already there.

  40. As a former labor & delivery nurse, I can tell you that it never hurts to bribe the nurse 😉 After all, she does control the pain medication and makes that call for an epidural if desired!

  139. bringing treats to nursing staff is DEFINITELY a plus, especially if it is healthy!

    I love the bubbles in soda, and drink soda water all the time… I also love juice with vegetables, so I cannot wait to get my hands on this!

  140. Hello 🙂 I love your blog! I made your chocolate cake for two the other night for my fiance & I – it was just perfect! You are the cutest pregnant lady I’ve ever seen and I cant wait to find out whether your new addition is a little boy or girl.

  144. I ama big V-8 fan and I picked one each of the strawberry/banana and black cherry. They are amazing! I like to put it in the freezer to get the slushy effect.

  149. Oh, this looks so delicious! Can’t wait to try it but I bet it will be a good while before it’s available here in the Kanawha Valley. We’re almost always the last to get anything good. I’m still waiting for Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s to come here so we have to drive long distances to shop at one. No good shopping here at all. Darn it!!!

  198. I would love to try the new sparkling V8! I like to have something fizzy, but I don’t like soda – way too sweet. I always drink fruit flavored sparkling water, but this looks like a great alternative! Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!

  199. I purchased all three varieties at a Publix in Atlanta but can’t find them in my town. The sparkling version is not even on the V8 website for me to check out store locations where it can be purchased. Can’t wait until it is more widely available! My entire family LOVES this beverage!!!!
