Hey there guys!

As usual, I’ve been itching to blog but haven’t had the time! Jason and I have had a very busy weekend (recap later) but before I got started on an all-day homework marathon, I thought I’d get on here and do what I said I’d do: Review of POM!

Last month the wonderful people over at POM sent me this in the mail:

I was a little shocked to get so many! (Before now) I’ve never tried POM. Of course, I had heard about it and wanted to try it, but the price is a little over my budget! Before diving in, I made sure to read about the product information!

• POM contains no added sugars, preservatives, colors or filler juices (yay!)
• POM grows their own fruit, picks it by hand AND manufacture their own bottles (how cool is that?!)
• Clinical tests prove that POM juice can help lower LDL levels (bad cholesterol), improve blood flow to heart and improve prostate health in patients.

Sounds good to me!

What to do with so many bottles of POM?? Share, of course! My teacher and two other classmates received a bottle each and we sat around trying to figure out the different ways you could use POM. Here is what we came up with:

1. Take it as a shot!
2. Make a POM-tini! (you can find recipe here)
3. Add it to your oats! As seen here
4. Add it to hot tea for a good antioxidant addition 
5. Make it into a salad dressing! <– courtesy of my teacher You can find the recipe under the Recipe tab at the top of my page.

I’m sure there are many other ways, so if you have any other ideas please feel free to comment and leave them! My first impression, after tasting, was that it’s a bit like cranberry juice! Kind of sweet and tart, but I think I like it better than cranberry juice! My fav way to use POM is in oats of course

Whats your fav way to use POM? Any other ideas??

You will find a “Smart Substiutions” Page at the top that I’ve added as well! Okay, I seriously have soooo much to write about but my homework list isn’t getting any shorter (2 papers, 2 quizes and a couple of reports to type up! Gahhhh!) Jason has already started his homework, so he is ahead of the game If we are wanting to run later, I’d better start catching up! See you in a bit!!
