Vegetable juice

Tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, beets and carrots are some examples of vegetables that may be juiced. The juice of vegetables often has most of the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in the original vegetable, depending on processing.

The juice will not have the beneficial fiber found in those vegetables. You could add some pulp back to your juice, or just use juicing as a diet boost. If you're buying vegetable juice, look for 100% juice from whole vegetables. And check the amount of salt, which is called sodium on the Nutrition Facts label.

But the good news is that vegetable juice is often a low-calorie, low-sugar, convenient way to add nutrients to your diet.
