If you drink a v-8 you'll get like 1000 mg of sodium... 
Can we say BLOAT??
Technically I suppose it counts... but... it's not really the spirit of the challenge but eh- if it gets your veggies. then have at it.

Guess you won't see me drinking that stuff!!they do have a low sodium that's way more reasonable in sodium amounts.. but I hoenstly don't like the taste as much.. tabasco and lemon help... but it's just not as good as the real thing

Got my five in! Woo Hoo!
A veggie and fruit bonus bonus
From the current issue of Self Magazine (page 200, the beauty diet)
eat more colors for smooth skin
What to Eat:
Dark orange, red or green fruit and veggies such as butternut squash, carrots, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and spinach.
The beauty of them
Crayola colored orange and red in most of these foods is due to beta carotene, an antioxidant that converts to vitamin A in your body and switches on DNA that's in charge of producng new skin cells and shedding old ones. In green produce, chlorophull masks the color of beta carotene.
A regular influx of new cells keeps the surface of your skin smooth and fresh looking and resistant to irritants and damage. (it's no coincidence that some of the best topical healthy skin ingredients, retonic acid and retinol are derivitives of vitamin A. Plus beta carotene acts like pacman, eating up free radicals that cause dna mutations that can lead to wrinkles
Add vitamin c for healthy collagen
What to Eat: strawberries, citrus, red bell peppers and broccoli
The beauty of them: All are loaded with vitamin C with red peppers practically oozing the stuff (a cup boasts more than an orange) Just as vitamin A turns on cell production, vitamin c activates fibroblast cells. which makes collagen, the tightly packed and carefully organized support system sitting under the skins surface. The healthier your infastructure of collagen, the firmer and smoother your skin looks. And because collagen reinforces the walls of blood vessels, extremely low levels of vitamin c can cause bruising. By meeting your daily quota of 75mg (a cup of strawberries does it) you'll give your skin waht it craves
