A little bit of this, and a little bit of that…
The people from POM Wonderful contacted me a while back and offered to send me some of their pomegranate juice. I had read about this juice on other blogs and was excited to try it out. The taste is REALLY SWEET – almost a little bit too sweet for me. But I added some ginger ale and made my own POM Wonderful spritzer of sorts. While I like the health benefits, I don’t like the sugar content per serving (32 grams for an 8 oz serving), so I probably won’t be drinking it too often. Still, it may be worth your while to give it a try.
Did you know that those same people who make Luna bars now make Luna cookies? They had a giveaway for a free sample on their web site and my sample came over the weekend. I haven’t tried it yet but will let you know how it tastes in a later post.
I did another long run with the gals yesterday, and definitely ran faster and stronger than if I had run alone. Now if only I could make my running during the week just as strong…
Hope everyone has a great week!

1Really, you thought the POM was sweet? I thought it was a bit bitter. Interesting…

4I liked the POM but like you said sugar and cals make it indulgence. I did always mix it was something not a straight POM shooter myself. Glad the long runs with the team pokey java are going well. You all will push yourselves to an awesome marathon!

5I always mix POM with equal parts water, because it’s super duper sugary. But your POM Spritzer sounds wayyy more astounding.
