Saw a booth for these at the Mount Lemmon Marathon expo. I don't get near enough fruits/veggies in my diet, they spoil too quickly if I buy them in quantities that last two weeks and I'm too lazy to buy them every other day.

Juice Plus+® is not a substitute for eating fruits and vegetables.
Everyone should eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables every day, at least 7-13 servings according to the USDA at www.ChooseMyPlate.gov. Juice Plus+ provides whole food based nutrition from 17 fruits, vegetables, and grains, because we often do not get nearly enough of the real thing every day.

Juice Plus+® is not a medicine, treatment, or cure for any disease or condition.
Many of the healthful benefits of taking Juice Plus+ have been demonstrated in clinical research conducted by investigators at leading hospitals and universities around the world, and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Juice Plus+® is not a multivitamin.
Juice Plus+ contains a much wider variety of naturally occurring vitamins - along with other antioxidants and phytonutrients - than traditional vitamin supplements.

Juice Plus+® is whole food based nutrition, including juice powder concentrates from 17 different fruits, vegetables and grains. Each ingredient is specially selected to provide a broad range of nutritional benefits.

Juice Plus+ is a complement to a healthy diet. Juice Plus+ is the simple, convenient, and inexpensive way to add more nutrition from fruits and vegetables to your diet, every day. Juice Plus+ is supported by clinical research conducted by researchers at leading hospitals and universities around the world and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Juice Plus+ is recommended by thousands of doctors and health professionals around the world.

They don't claim that its a substitute for real food, but its interesting. Thoughts?

From their own Q&A:

Does Juice Plus+® replace the need to eat real fruits and vegetables?
FACT:

No. Juice Plus+ should never replace a diet filled with a wide and colorful variety of fruits and vegetables.

So even they say eat real veggies and fruit. Doh. By doing so you'll get the fiber missing in these supplements, too and save $41.75 per month. Sounds good to me.

Two other eyebrow raisers: I can't find anywhere on their website the actual quantities of the substances in their supplements. Why hide that information? I can, however, easily find a link to their multi-tiered marketing franchise scheme. Show me da money yo.

Oh, I had no intention of paying them 42 dollars a month. I'd go to a local store, and buy a bottle to try there.

If you want a "greens" supplement there's much cheaper options, but all are inferior to the real thing, imo.
