As I mentioned before, I like stuff will periodically pop up with reviews from other bloggers and occasionally from yours truly.
Last week I was sent an email from Janny, the POM Blogger, about POM Wonderful. She mentioned that she liked my blog (she obviously has good taste) and that she wanted me to try out some POM Wonderful pomegranate juice. I figured why not, if it’s free, it’s for me!
The POM Wonderful arrived yesterday so I decided to bring it out for the BRA to sample. After The Ring of Fire last night the BRA headed to a local watering hole to get some grub. I brought along the POM Wonderful and passed it around for all to try.
Coach EK and Esther getting their POM on. Overall almost everyone enjoyed the flavor and would buy it. I believe there were a few jokes made about how the information that came along with the product said it helped with erectile function. You know how the BRA can’t pass up a good joke about sexual innuendo (in-your-endo). A couple folks thought it was a bit tart. I personally enjoy the flavor. They have quite a few other products and I think I would try the POM Light Teas for the reasons below.
Some in the group don’t pay too much attention to the calories or sugars because most of them run a gazillion miles a week and generally eat healthy so the health benefits from the drink are an added bonus. I on the other hand worry about sugar. As it appears that there is quite a bit more sugar in this beverage than my usual water/G2 I would probably cut it with club soda or just regular water. It would probably be tasty in a smoothie too.
I don’t think it’s intended as a diet drink but could help you get more of those healthy antioxidants. And well there’s always that erectile function thing….
Several other bloggers had some reviews I came across. Here they are:
The Lil Runner reviewed Wrightsocks and Amazing Grass.
EGels as reviewed by Secrets of a Running Mom.
Chasin’ Bunnies told us about small handheld water bottles.
TGIF peeps!
Up next: 16 miler tomorrow morning.
On deck: Biathlon on Sunday (yikes!)
Good luck being Bi on Sunday!
Love the POM and had no idea of erectile function benefits. LOL. Can't imagine the research and development on that piece….
I demand that when you post the race report form the BI (or DU as I prefer because I'd rather not think you BI as I've shared a bed with you on occasion)that you post the participant list! 😛
we always knew you were Bi….uh…I mean good luck on the Bi or Du….err whatever!
16 miles. good gosh! 🙂
I like the POM WOnderful also. And think the idea of trying it in a smoothie is brilliant!
p.s. thx for linking to my handheld bottle review.
i am a sucker for any and all things pomegranate… i love the tartness.
hey – quick question – any recommendations on what i can use to measure the distance that i'm running? i've been using mapmyrun.com, but didn't know if there was some type of pedometer (?) or something i could wear while i'm running, in the event i don't have access to the internet or something… ??
thanks for the shoutout.. I liked the POM too! : ) Esp the mini bottles!
I like stuff, too!! 🙂
Have a great 16 mile run – and good luck with the biathlon!! Cant wait to hear about it!
Looks like you have a big weekend planned with running. Thanks for the review on POM. I am planning on trying it out.
TGIF is right! And I definitely think a B.O.B./BonBon get together is in order.
😉
Have a great 16 miler!
I like the look of your blog, I like the picture in your banner. The most I've trained for is a half marathon.
Hey, just found your blog. Good stuff!
16 miles AND a bi? Kuh-Raziness! Best of luck to ya!
I need to try that POM juice. Best of Luck to you this weekend!
I keep hearing about this stuff. I should give it a try, but I hate "spending" my calories on liquid.
Good luck on the big 16!
I've seen that stuff at work, but was always afraid to try it.
I've never tried POM, but I hear a lot of buzz about it. I'm not much of a juice drinker though.
Good luck this weekend!
i got some POM too and can't wait to try it! glad you seemed to like it, and i liked how you shared it with your training buddies!
