POM juice
Hey everyone!!! Happy Friday!
I’m not sure if ya’ll know, but November is National Pomegranate Month!
I’ve already done a little bit of celebrating 😉
and was a little more than stoked to see these items from POM on my doorstep yesterday
Love me some POM 😀
To kick off national pomegranate month, the lovely people at POM Wonderful have generously offered to give 3 Fitnessista readers each a CASE of POM juice!!!!!
You have two chances to win:
- Leave a comment here to let me know how you’d use your POM juice—in a POMtini like yours truly, a smoothie, soup, marinade or any recipe you’ve conjured up
- Tweet “I want to win @POMonline juice from @fitnessista”
I’ll pick 3 winners via random number generator and the winners will be announced Monday morning around 8AM EST.
Ready…. set… go!
I love POM juice mixed with club soda, vodka, and a squeeze of lime. Its a delicious cocktail!
I’ve never even tried POM but would probably just mix with sparkling water for some sparkle or maybe some sparkling wine?
Thanks!
POMTINIS!!! I also would love to try pom in a smoothie! 🙂
i love using POM juice in overnight oats, in POM spritzers and in my oatmeal!!!!
Hi!! I use POM everyday in my berry smoothie (aka not-so-green monster). I have yet to try it in a POMtini but that will soon be rectified this weekend. Thanks for you blog!!
I would love to try it in my smoothies! and maybe a POMtini too!
I would share my case of POM with my friends and have a POM party! I would do virgin POMtinis and regular POMtinis. I would create recipes with the POM juice and share the entire event (photos, copy, recipes, etc.) with the folks at POM!
I’d use it to spice up some smoothies, and to add a little zing to mulled apple cider!
Grilled Eggplant with Pomegranate Sauce
Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients
1 large eggplant
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup pomegranate syrup
Salt
Garnish
Minced parsley
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Preparation
Cut eggplant into 1/4 inch slices and place on paper towels. Sprinkle slices with salt, weight them down with heavy plates or a board for 30 minutes, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Lightly brush with olive oil and place eggplant slices on grill. Grill them for 3 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly browned on both sides. Remove from grill and arrange the eggplant overlapping on a serving dish.
In a mortar, crush garlic cloves with 2 teaspoons salt to a paste. In a non-metallic bowl, combine the garlic paste and pomegranate syrup. Spread a little of the mixture on each eggplant slice. Sprinkle the slices with minced parsley and pomegranate seeds for garnish and chill covered.
I found this on the internet and think it sounds great!
smoothie!
In my daily combination veggie/fruit smoothie!
Either a pomtini or a mocktail with POM + seltzer and lime wedge would be great. I’d also like to try and use it to flavor pancake/waffle batter or mix into greek yogurt with some honey/pom seeds.
I would totally use it in smoothies..I have before and it’s great! 🙂 And yes..POMtinis sounds so awesome!
I would use up the pom juice in a Pom-tini 😉 but during the holidays we make something at home called Candy Cane Punch and it calls for cranberry juice, to change things up a little I think the Pom juice would be wonderful in this punch. I’m drooling thinking about it!
I made a POM quick break with POM seeds and juice the other day! I got the recipe from Carrotsncake. But I also love the seltzer/POM juice mix!
Pomuffins!
I would LOVE some POM wonderful, and a POMtini sounds GREAT! I have never tried this before so I would find many ways to use it!!
I’ve never even tried Pom juice! I would definitely put it in my green smoothies!
It would be tasty in a smoothie! or with some sparkling water for a little zing!!
A pomtini sounds awesome, but I think baking with it could be fun too! Maybe some choco-pom cookies?
I was thinking it might be good as an addition to chili!
I use it at Thanksgiving every year to make homemade pomigranite-cranberry sauce – SO tasty 🙂
YUMMY!!!!! Pomtini!
I love to juice them or put them into smoothies. My kids, however, love to eat them right out of a bowl with a spoon. They think they’re eating rubies, and they love the way they “pop” in their mouth! I love, love, love your website and have been following you for a while now. I found you right before you went to school at 105 degree academy and have been hooked ever since. Thanks for being an inspiration!
I’ve honestly never tried POM but I would love to try it in a smoothie!! I’ve always wanted to try it and will soon.
I would freeze them in the shape of pom poms and have pom pom popsickles to celebrate a Dallas Cowboys win. I’m a nerd.
yey! I would love to make a delicious salad with a pom dressing!
I LOVE your blog!! I use POM juice for a marinade with chicken. POM juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, orange juice, and sliced chilis. Marinate and grill. Slice chicken for salads, slice super thin for fajitas or tacos. YUM!
Thank you for all of your recipes and pictures! Are you sure you can’t divulge the Raw Chocolate Tart recipe???? 😉
Every year my family and I have pom jelly instead of cranberry sauce At thanksgiving it is delicious especially the next day on an English muffin
I would use it to make some soup or as ice cubes in a vodka soda for my guests 😉
I would freeze it and then add it to banana soft serve!
Hi! I would love to try POM juice oatmeal! and I also would love to drink it plain.
I would drink some of it straight, make some smoothies, and then try some amazing recipe like pom cheesecake! Yum.
I’ll take it straight up!
I’d cook it with rice and spices. It’d be a good flavoring!
I put it in my smoothies!
Just tweeted! I’m @xxdeed.
I’d like to try POM juice in a smoothie or oats!
I love POM Juice in the morning! I drink about 4 ounces with my breakfast and I SWEAR my skin looks so radiant since I’ve started! I also have to try a POM mocktail-that sounds super refreshing!
I would love to try the juice boiled down to make pomegranate syrup for waffles or pancakes.
I like to add POM juice to smoothies. Sometimes I’ll mix it into plain yogurt for some flavor. I’d like to try POMtinis, too.
No way! I guess I’ve done a bit of celebrating as I bought 2 pomegranates the other day!
I love POM juice with sparkling water or club soda and I also like to put it in smoothies!
I would love to experiment with the Pom in some cocktails and some smoothies. Yum!
I love to mix pom juice with unflavored seltzer or the lime flavored one for a mocktini. I would also love to try it pomtini style…I think I am out of vodka but have some rum in my liquor cabinet! 😉 OR since it is getting cooler, maybe a little pom juice in my green tea sounds yummy!
eee! I am obsessed with pomegranate and although I would gladly eat/drink it in any form, I like it straight up the most. I’d say half for that, and half for gin cocktails…
Hi Gina! I like pom juice by itself, but I’d love to experiment and put some in my homemade kombucha.
I would love to try pomegranate waffles, like Caitlin from Healthy Tipping point made. I also plan to try making a vinegrette with Pom Wonderful some time.
I would love to try a POM smoothie, as well as some sort of POM vinaigrette… sounds perfect for the Holidays!
POM straight up for me! Yet, a case would be awesome for holiday entertaining: dressings, drinks, desserts!! YUM!
Hi!! First I want to say thank you for being such an inspiration! I found your blog a few months ago and your have been such a big help in keeping me motivated. I have yet to try POM but I would love to try it in smooties and oatmeal. I would also try freezing it to make freeze pops for the lil one.
Ohhh I’d make a nice Pom Mocktail for sure! Great giveaway! 🙂
