POMWonderful

I just love POM pomegranate juice!  It is good by itself and good mixed with other juices or in smoothies!  Recently the wonderful people at POM sent me a few samples of their pomegranate juice!  I've been enjoying it and the family has been as well! 

Greenberry Shakeology is pretty good with POM in it too!  It makes it a nice pink color! 

POM is 100% pomegranate juice and comes in a variety of sizes!  I like the 8 oz bottles - easy to throw in a gym bag or purse, but at home the larger bottles are handy for making yummy smoothies!
