Is the new Capri Sun Super V Fruit & Vegetable Juice Drink the latest way for parents to trick their kids into getting some vegetables in their diet?
A juice pouch with a 3/4 serving of fruit and 1/4 serving of vegetables? That doesn’t sound very efficient.
When I have kids and need to encourage them to eat their vegetables, I’m just going to tell them, “Look, son/daughter. It’s carrots and cucumbers. There are worse vegetables your mom and I could’ve given you, like brussels sprouts, beets, turnips, cauliflower, and radishes. We’ll save those for when you’re naughty, but you were good today so you get the good vegetables. However, if you don’t eat your carrots and cucumbers right now, I’m going to drive to the store to buy some beets and radishes, cut them up, and put them on your plate with the carrots and cucumbers. And you’re going to have to eat all of them.”
Man, I’m going to be an awesome parent. Sure, they’ll probably end up in therapy, but at least they’ll be eating their vegetables. Someone should award me with a “World’s Greatest Dad” mug right now.
The Capri Sun Super V juice drinks are 66 percent juice and come in three flavors: Apple, Berry, and Fruit Punch. The vegetables come in the form of sweet potato and carrot juice concentrates. I didn’t know one could juice a sweet potato. Maybe I should’ve paid closer attention to Jack LaLanne’s Juice Tiger informercials, instead of using them to help me fall asleep.
One Capri Sun Super V pouch has 70 calories, 0 grams of fat, 20 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 14 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, 10% vitamin C, and 10% vitamin E.

hey! I actually really like cauliflower! hahah.
my mom used to make us sit at the table until we ate ALL our veggies. I was there for like an hour once….and now I eat them first and love them. go figure.
and yea..juicing a sweet potato sounds weird.
My dad hated veggies too, so I rarely got the “eat them all or no dessert” talk. And when I say he hated them, I really mean it. The only veggie he would touch were potatoes and Heinz Ketchup. Yes, he said Ketchup counted as a vegetable. Nothing like watching a 40 year old man mix his peas into his potatoes(and gravy to staunch the taste) and eat it with his eyes closed just to make my mom stop glaring at him.
I recall once I refused to eat baked beans as a young child and my babysitter sat me in the corner for 3 hours. I STILL hate baked beans.
I won’t lie the first time I gave my kids the Super V I had that guilt very similar to when I’d look at my daughter before I fed the strained green peas when she was a baby. It was that awful this is going to taste like crap but it’s good for you feeling. The kids actually like the Fruit Punch ones quite a bit though.
with that much sugar, of course they’ll drink it!
