If you are a fan of POM juice but found it high in calories, you MUST check out the new teas. POM wonderful sent me 4 different teas to try out, and they did not disappoint. Check out more about the company above from my juice review and at their newly designed website.
The flavors were:
Pom Blackberry Tea - tasted tropical and light
Pom Lychee Green Tea - reminded me of water ice (italian ice if you aren't familiar w/ Water ice)
Pom Wildberry White Tea - light - probably the least sweet of all of them in my view
Pom Hibiscus Green Tea - light - tropical like the blackberry
The light teas contain 70 calories per bottle and the regular teas 140 calories. The light teas are sweetened by erythritol (a natural sweetener, but not a word in my vocabulary) - I would rather drink the regular tea in moderation! Both contain fructose.
I drink green tea almost everyday, but drinking green tea cold with POM juice was amazing. I am always looking for something to drink other than water (and hot tea) so these were refreshing and delicious. I found most of the flavors to be similar in taste - very good. My favorite flavor was probably the Hibiscus or Blackberry. I would drink these when I needed something other than water to refresh! Bill thought the aftertaste was a little off. I thought they were tasty drinks!
On another note, POM invited me on a blogger tour in California that I had to regretfully decline - couldn't work it out during Bill's busy season, still nursing, and didn't think taking Nick cross country would be for the best :( So that was stinky and sad.
Bummer! I was hoping you'd be able to get to that blogger tour...
ReplyDeleteso cool that you get all this stuff to review! i liked the baby food cubes idea, i need to make new things, i get stuck in a rut! although i did give andra spinach for the first time tonight!
ReplyDeleteI got a case of it at home i'm still waiting to try! I havent got around to it yet but it sounds yummy!!!!
ReplyDeletebummer about the tour! that sounds like it woulda been a cool opportunity.
ReplyDeletepom drinks are sooo good!
I didn't know they made teas too! I am going to have to pick some up. Very cool they offered you a tour, too bad you live on the other coast.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I am always on the lookout for something (ANYTHING!) other than water. I'll have to find out if these are available here...
ReplyDeleteBummer about the tour. Sounds liek a cool opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThose teas sound interesting. I'll have to try them.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the tour.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried POM at all, let alone the teas, but you make 'em sound tasty!
So funny! I just watched last night an episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown on the Food Network and he showed how to make your own Pom juice! It is wicked easy! Take a look at it on the Food Nework site - I think I am going to give it a shot! And thanks for the review, not a big fan of things with fructose, but it sounds tasty and delicious - I will have to try it out! ;)
