I'm a fan

I'm a true fan of all things pomegranate, from bath gel & sport energy drinks to the real deal pure pomegranate juice straight up. The only thing missing from this photo is Trader Joe's pomegranate Greek yogurt. I grew up in southern California with a pomegranate tree right in the backyard. Late summer meant picking a pomegranate that was beginning to split open and then sitting down on the grass beside the tree and munching away. Heaven.

Naturally, when the folks at POM Wonderful offered to send me a care package of their product to try, I said: Please, please! I love POM Wonderful. I like to have it in the morning after eating my latest eggbeater-type concoction. And, I like it mixed with Pellegrino over ice in the afternoon. Since embarking on this fitness journey, I've learned to pay close attention to how I feel after eating or drinking something. POM Wonderful is one of my miracle foods. I feel, well, wonderful after I drink it. I also like that it's made from pomegranates grown in California.

Cheers!

Yummmmm! I'm a fan of pomegranates, too. My grandmother had a pom tree at her house and I have great memories of picking and eating them right here in Houston!

Great review. I like your idea of adding some juice to Pellegrino! I'm gonna have to go to the store now.

Living in Rhode Island, I've never seen a pomegranate tree (I feel so clueless!), but I do love the bottled juice.

I'm going to have to check this out. It may be my miracle cure for getting down more water!

I love eating Poms in their whole, natural form. Messes up my keyboard, though.

A pom tree in your back yard...wow.

I'm jealous. You and POD both get POM Wonderful, and I get bumpkus. Bupkus? [how the hell do you spell that word, anyway? Oh, wait, I know...] and I get nuthin'! :)

Love POM juice. Mixed with Champagne.
Or even straight!

Patty - we ended up buying a pom tree yesterday for our current yard. Exciting!

Bag Lady - POM Wonderful with champagne. Ooh la la! I like the sound of this.

Tena - I wonder why pom trees in backyards seem to be a thing of the past...
