\"Pineapple<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mango Pineapple Green Tea V8 V-Fusion + Tea combines pineapple, apple and orange fruit juices, mango puree, vegetable juice and green tea.<\/p>\n

What? Are those the only liquids V8 could fit into this beverage hybrid?<\/p>\n

That’s disappointing to see from the company that’s able to merge the juices from tomatoes and seven other vegetables that I didn’t know could be juiced — beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress and spinach — to create their original V8 juice.<\/p>\n

We live in a world where it’s possible to stuff a chicken into a duck and then stuff those two into a turkey, so, I’m sorry, color me initially unimpressed when it comes to the Mango Pineapple Green Tea V8 V-Fusion + Tea.<\/p>\n

V8 could definitely learn a thing or two from witches or those college kids who mix every cheap clear alcohol possible with several fruit juices to make a potent jungle juice that will probably cause several people to end up with Sharpie pen writings on their faces, produce a few gallons of vomit, and result in one, maybe two, pregnancies.<\/p>\n

The V8 V-Fusion + Tea is the latest variation from V8’s V-Fusion line, which combines 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices to give people the opportunity to consume 1\/2 cup of vegetables and 1\/2 cup of fruit in a state of matter that’s usually suited for babies and those who just had their wisdom teeth removed.<\/p>\n

\"Pineapple<\/a><\/p>\n

The USDA recommends a daily intake of 2 1\/2 cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit, and the V8 V-Fusion + Tea line does help drinkers get there, but only 1\/4 of a cup at a time since it’s made with only 50 percent juice.<\/p>\n

However, because it’s made with only 50 percent juice, it has significantly less sugar and calories than the original V-Fusion line and its consistency isn’t as thick.<\/p>\n

The Mango Pineapple Green Tea V8 V-Fusion + Tea has more of a mango flavor than pineapple, and it has a sweet vegetable aftertaste. “Sweet vegetable aftertaste” may sound bad, especially as a potential band name, but with this beverage, it’s all right. While the green tea doesn’t provide much flavor, it does make the beverage lighter tasting than the regular V8 V-Fusion.<\/p>\n

While I feel the Mango Pineapple Green Tea V8 V-Fusion + Tea is a weak ass compilation of liquids, I do think it’s a tasty and refreshing beverage.<\/p>\n
