Review of 'POM Wonderful' 100% Pomegranate Juice

POM Wonderful -- 100% Pomegranate Juice (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: despite the tart aftertaste, this is a super, super sweet beverage! You may need to dilute it if you're not too fond of the super-sweet. The flavour is very rich and has incredible depth. The juice is from concentrate, but tastes very fresh. I love that there are no added sugars and just 100% pomegranate juice. I'd definitely recommend this.

Where to buy: Fortinos, Freshco, Sobeys, Metro

Well, this drink does have a hefty calorie count for just a small 236mL serving! Aaannnd there's not much going on in the nutritional profile to make up for it :/ If you ate half of a pomegranate, it would be about 115 calories and yield roughly 5g of fiber, 2.5g of protein, and 24% vitamin C. Just sayin'!

Anyway, despite the empty-looking nutritional profile, sometimes you're just looking for a quick, delicious, sweet beverage -- and this does the trick!

Mmm, this juice smells rich and heavy like wine! Both the scent and the taste are really rich and intense...I only have about half a glass at a time because it's just that rich!

Hey, this would make a great mixer as well. Check out the recipe for 'The POMTINI' here.
