Hi David,

Have you heard of Juice Plus?  It provides whole food based nutrition from a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. It provides phytonutrients, antioxidants, and nutrients including some of the fiber from a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. The 4 suggested capsules per day  have <1 net carbs (1g carbohydrate and <1g fiber) each. You get all the phytonutrients without the carbs or calories of eating the whole fruit or vegetable.

There have been multiple studies done on the product from all over the world. You can get some information on these studies at https://www.juiceplus.com/nsa/content/ClinicalResearch.soa

I believe you will be pleasantly surprised with what you discover.

I too am on JuicePlus (and VeggiePlus), which were referred to me by my nutrition/fitness-oriented family-MD. Recommend them heartily, but advise all who are on platelet therapy (I have been for 5 yrs) to check w/ their doc first. I'm a DM2, 62 yrs male. 

Drinking veggies is nothing new to those of us living full or part-time in Spain, especially Andulusia, in southern Spain; Mijas, Malaga, in my case.  And the Virgin Islands during the winter.  My gazpacho, which I have almost every day...sometimes twice a day... consists of tomatoes, green peppers, cumcumer, oinion, garlic...with a touch of salt, cumin, and water.  And I like to add a piece of sourdough bread.  Doesn't get much better than this for "drinking your veggies!!"
