POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice
By: | Jun 26, 2006
Pomegranate juice is now one of the more touted healthy drinks because of its naturally good levels of antioxidants, and POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice is all juice baby! 100% au natural. It tastes similar to grape juice, with a hint of tartness, almost a subtle aftertaste. And it is SWEET! I mean - there are 34 grams of sugar in half a bottle i.e. 68 grams in an entire 16 ounce bottle or close to 17 teaspoons of sugar! So, it may be all natural, but, other than the antioxidants, the only other thing you are getting is sugar and calories - 320 in a bottle. AND, it is expensive. One 16 ounce bottle is almost $4.00!
But I still like this Pom Wonderful. I think however that instead of drinking ot by itself, I would add it to my homemade smoothies, or maybe juice some fruits and add it to it - or even just add water to dilute it a bit.
In case you are not familiar with the actual pomegranate fruit, there is a picture to your right. I love pomegranates, but eating it is messy business and it stains! To eat it, just cut it in half, and start eating the juicy seeds. You can swallow or not. There is a more classy way explained at EHow.com [link]
Remmeber the Bossa Nova Acai Juice is also rich in antioxidants [read the review], and just as expensive I might add.

My mom drinks this a lot. She adds fizzy water to it to make it less intense.
Glad I found ya! Be stopping by again later.

Welcome to 9rules! Are you going to do another Blog Carnival this week or will you wait until after you move? Let me know and I'll send you my links for the proper week.
What I like to do with the POM juice is mix it with seltzer, which dilutes it & makes it last longer. POM-Blueberry is their best flavor.
Although I love Pom and it's nutritional benefits, it is expensive.
I drink it from a wine glass - sip, inhale the bouquet, and enjoy it like a fine wine. Only the pure Pom gives you your money's worth - blueberries and the other fruits it comes mixed with are less expensive than pommegranates!
