No doubt you’ve seen them in the cooling shelves of the produce section of the grocery store. I remember walking past a bunch of Pom Wonderful bottles many a time and thinking “What a cute bottle. What the heck is a pomegranate anyway?” (Pomegranates are one of mankind’s earliest cultivated fruits. And the Wonderful variety is known for its deep crimson color, its sweet taste and for having a boat load of antioxidants.)

And then one day  I tried it. And I have been hooked ever since. The Pom Wonderful brand is the only kind that contains no added sugars, preservatives, colors or filler juices. And if you’re looking for the health benefits? There are many. Pom Wonderful juice has shown to improve blood flow to the heart, decrease arterial plaque an lower incidence of LDL oxidation. But that’s not all. The juice has been shown to improve prostate health and erectile function. For the particulars, go to their website.

My family and I love Pom Wonderful juice. We’ve all got a sweet tooth, so the taste really appeals to us. Sometimes for a treat for my son, we’ll mix it with a bit of 7-up to turn it into a Pom soda. And I’ve been known to add it to a diet Coke to give my drinks. Also? I love to use the juice in martinis. I guess the way we’ve been using it isn’t exactly the healthiest. But we do drink it. And we’ve always got at least 2-3 bottles in the fridge at any given time. (It’s also good to add in green tea. Because let’s face it. Regular green tea might be healthy but that stuff tastes like dirt. So ok. We I do use it for something healthy sometimes.)

You can find recipies and even coupons on the Pom Wonderful site. They’ve also got more than just the juice. They’ve got tea, power bars and ice coffee. (Ohhh!)

Just so you know, I did receive free samples from Pom.
