Giveaway- V8 V-Fusion® & L.L. Bean Tote

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Carolyn from The Art of Random Willy-Nillyness, who is a subscriber and also a fellow SocialSparker! Enjoy your prize!

When I visited the Campbell’s Kitchens, one of our hands-on demonstrations was how to make our own smoothies using V8 F-Fusion fruit and vegetable juice. We had tasted each of the V-Fusion varieties first, and my favorite was Goji Raspberry, so when it came time to make my smoothie, that’s what I used.

The basic smoothie recipe is 1 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt, 1 cup frozen fruit, and 1 cup juice whirled up in a blender. I used the Goji Raspberry V-Fusion and frozen raspberries, and ended up needing just a pinch of sugar to cut the tartness of the raspberries. It was SO GOOD.  This is me in the Campbell’s Kitchens measuring out my smoothie ingredients (and looking over at…someone)

    I just wanted to clarify my initial entry. I love Strawberry/Banana smoothies, and I actually use Strawberry Juice that I use from my juicer. It increases and deepens the Strawberry flavor. I then add more strawberries into the blender with the juice and bananas. I say try it, you’ll love it.

  29. Ally M says:

    Actually raspberry juice is my favorite in smoothies but it hasn’t always been easy to find. Now that V-8 offers it in Fusions, I’ll be using it more often.

  67. David says:

    My overall favorite is banana. Bananas go in everything. I keep a container in the freezer full of banana.

    I don’t normally use packaged juice. Once you get a good blender you end up using whole frozen fruit, milk and yogurt. Our favorite (family of 4) is a pound of frozen black raspberries or black berries, one frozen banana, half large container of yogurt and enough milk to make it liquid. Blend. We call it purple power.

    This morning for breakfast I made orange juice two frozen bananas and half can of frozen pineapple.
