I have added V8 Juice to my diet.
It is not something that I drank a lot of in the past.  I like the original V8 Juice.  I will try some of the other choices to see if I like them as well.

Now, that it is becoming increasingly difficult to consume a proper diet....
I am trying to come up with simpler ways to eat what I need.   
I should note that my appetite has been decreasing.

NOTE:  I read an article about juices....

Best Choice: Vegetable Juice


"Drinking your veggies is a convenient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet. The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer. Beet juice may reduce blood pressure. Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help control hunger. And all of these benefits come without a catch. Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice, but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version."

INGREDIENTS

RECONSTITUTED VEGETABLE JUICE BLEND (WATER AND CONCENTRATED JUICES OF TOMATOES, CARROTS, CELERY, BEETS, PARSLEY, LETTUCE, WATERCRESS, SPINACH), CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF: SALT, VITAMIN C (ASCORBIC ACID), NATURAL FLAVORING, CITRIC ACID.
