POM Wonderful Review

My family had the opportunity to try POM Wonderful. It actually tastes wonderful and best of all, is absolutely wonderful for you.POM Wonderful has been backed by $32 million in medical research, primarily in the areas of prostate, cardiovascular, and erectile function. In fact, there are published clinical studies documenting the benefits of drinking eight ounces of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice daily. It also is a great antioxidant! I don't know about you, but I will take those benefits!
POM Wonderful is the only brand that guarantees their product is 100% authentic pomegranate juice. With my first sip of the juice, I knew this was true. The taste was sweet and tart and I honestly felt like I was eating a fresh pomegranate, minus the seeds. Completely delicious! Because their juice is all natural, with no added sugars, preservatives, color or filler juices, I felt confident offering my toddler a drink. He also loved it and asked for more. I highly recommend purchasing this product for you and your family!
I personally enjoy drinking the POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice as is, but it also great in recipes. Check out this POM Velvet Cupcakes with POM Cream Cheese Frosting:

    POM Cream Cheese Frosting: Prepare fresh pomegranate juice*, score 1-2 fresh pomegranates and place in a bowl of water, break open the pomegranates under water to free the arils (seed sacs), the arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top, sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1 cup of the arils from fruit and set aside, (refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use), reduce the pomegranate juice, over low heat, down to 3 fl. oz., Allow to cool, place butter into electric mixer bowl with paddle attachment and cream on medium-high speed for 1 minute, add the cream cheese and continue to mix for 2 more minutes, turn the speed down to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar and the pomegranate juice reduction, mix until the sugar is fully combined, remove icing from the mixer and place into a piping bag with a round or star tip.

    POM Velvet Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350F, reduce the pomegranate juice, over low heat, down to 1/2 cup, place sugar and soft butter in the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream on medium-high speed, until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy, turn the speed down to low and add the eggs in one at a time, in a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, pomegranate juice reduction, white vinegar and vanilla extract, and then slowly add half of this to the mixer, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, and then sift at least two times until well mixed, add half of this to the mixer, add the remaining half of the liquids to the mixer, and then the remaining dry ingredients, finish off with the heavy cream, beat just until combined, place cupcake liners into cupcake pan, and using a spoon, fill with cake batter until it is just about 3/4 full, bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, allow the pan to cool slightly, and then remove cupcakes to a wire rack to cool fully, once the cupcakes are cooled completely, they can be iced with the pomegranate cream cheese frosting and topped with fresh pomegranate arils.
