POM Wonderful Review

I was sent some Pomegranate juice from POM Wonderful to try. I have to admit I have never tried a Pomegranate so I was little skeptical if I would like the juice.

About the product: POM Wonderful has great health benefits such as Antioxidants. There have been several Scientific Studies showing that POM Wonderful has helped Cardiovascular problems such as Blood Pressure and Diabetes Type II among others that can be found on the Scientific Studies page on the web site.





The Review:
I was very surprised that I really liked the taste of the juice. Golfergirl however did not like the taste. She said it tasted "weird". Not sure what that means to a nine year old. I liked the health benefits that POM Wonderful has, so I
really wanted to find a way for Golfergirl to still get the benefits. I was very happy that the POM Wonderful website has some wonderful recipes that use the juice.

Golfergirl loves smoothies so I decided to make the POM Morning Shake for her. I was a little sneaky since she did not know I was going to use the pomegranate juice.

Ingredients:
1 Cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
3/4 Cup Low-Fat milk
2 Ice Cubes
1 Large banana peeled broken into chunks
2 Tablespoons sliced almonds (left these out of Golfergirls)
2 Tablespoons protein powder(optional) (left out of Golfergirls)
1 Teaspoon honey or to taste.

Directions:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for 30 seconds. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.

Golfergirls reaction:
She loved it and wanted more. When I told her it had the juice in it she just gave me one of her "Mommy you got me looks" and kept drinking.

Golfermom's reaction:
I liked it both by itself and in the smoothie. I have to say the smoothie was delicious. I am going to try to some more of the recipes.

Buy it:
