Pom Wonderful Review
Pom Wonderful
In passing the refrigerated juices at the store, I’ve often seen Pom Wonderful and wondered exactly what it was. I remember looking at the label one day, seeing that it was 100% pomegranate juice and thinking, “Oh, that’s nice.” I think a lot of times I don’t necessarily try new food/drink products unless someone recommends it or it looks just too good to resist. So, I’ve never picked any up just because I didn’t know that much about it.
They have a bunch of different products, but the one that I tried out and will be focusing on is the 100% pomegranate juice.
Pros: Pom Wonderful has a commitment to wellness, and is backed by over $32 million in research. One thing that I really love about this juice is the antioxidants it offers. Not sure what an antioxidant does? Click here to find out more. I like that the juice is 100% with no added sugars or fillers. It’s definitely sweet enough that it doesn’t need added sugar anyway.
The packaging is really fun, and the 8 oz size that I got to try out was perfect to throw in my lunch bag for work.
The taste is a blend of tart and sweet, and is actually very strong.
Cons: The flavor did remind me quite a bit of a cranberry juice, it was very tart. In fact, the first few times I drank it, I found myself trying hard not to pucker. I’ve had pomegranates in salad before, but never 100% juice by itself. I noticed that Pom Wonderful offers other varieties and I have to wonder if I would like the taste of one of the others instead, like the Pomegranate Blueberry.
An 8 ounce bottle is also 160 calories which I think is quite a bit for a drink. I try to limit my calories from beverages as I’d rather eat a piece of fresh fruit than drink it. I think it would be a great idea to offer Pom Wonderful in a light option with less calories, but then again I don’t know if it would affect all of the health properties it offers.
Where to Buy: A local retailer near you.

I’ve wondered about this juice myself. I have seen it, but never tried. Was it expensive? I bet it would be real refreshing and cut the calories if you just put a small amount in a glass of ice and seltzer water. I may have to just go and get some to try that. Thanks for a the review.

I’ve never seen that down the juice isle for some reason. I don’t know if I could handle the taste if it’s so tart. I have a hard time with cranberry juice. I wish I liked more things that were good for me!
