Good morning!
Is everyone ready for a super, Antioxidant packed giveaway to start your Thursday?? I sure hope so, cuz this one’s great!
The lovely Janny from POM send me 2 sets of coupons to give away to my lovely readers! Naturally I was thrilled at the idea of giving away POM products on Oh She Glows. Afterall, antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in our body. These free radicals harm and destroy healthy cells! What’s a girl to do???
Fight back of course!
I like to think of antioxidants as nutrient powerhouses, that enter our body and clean up the bad guys.
Who wouldn’t want that?!
Of course, I had to make my first Green Monster with POM juice this morning!
Could my insides have been any happier? I think not.
The contents:
- 1 cup Almond Breeze in Original
- 3 organic kale leaves
- 1 ‘shot’ of POM juice in Blueberry
Remember: If you are new to Green Monsters, I always recommend adding a banana for some sweetness, as well as a bit more liquid.
The result:
This smoothie was awesome! It had a hint of blueberry. It was so pretty when I was blending it…it was this gorgeous pink and purple colour. Of course, if you don’t use as much kale as I do, it would be a deep purple hue! :) I will definitely be buying this for a treat to create some new recipes with.
Clinical Research Studies:
Naturally I was drawn to the clinical research information about POM! I am still a nerdy researcher at heart, what can I say.
- “After only three months, blood flow to the heart improved approx. 17% in a group that drank POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate juice, but worsened approx. 18% in the placebo group. The study included 45 patients with coronary heart disease.”
- “Compared to patients taking a placebo, those men drinking 8oz. of 100% Pomegranate Juice daily for 4 weeks were 50% more likely to experience erectile improvement in this study of 53 subjects.”

Mm…I love POM in green smoothies too!
I won’t enter since I still have a few free bottles from them, but great contest!
Hi Angela! I love your blog, I have only started reading it recently and it’s one of my favorites!! I looked at the POM ads and I really like “The Antioxidant Superower” with the cape. It’s cute:) I am in the US.
Thanks for the contest! I love POM juice, but cannot afford to buy so I’d love to win!! :)
Count me in for the contest!
I have to say, none of their ad campaigns are jumping out at me as particularly engaging, but I like the Pom Tea line the best. “Deliciously Empowering.”
Oh, and I’m from the US.
Love your blog!
First, I’m canadian!
My favorite ad is “POM Wonderful Juice” (1st one, top/left) because it goes right to the point. We’ve heard all about Antioxidant and knows it is good for us. So stated it in the ad really cathed my attention and made me want to buy the product. :)
Yum! I used POM in my smoothie the other day…

I also won’t enter because they sent me coupons too – I’ll give someone else a chance!

yum! And I’m an American.
I just linked to your giveaway: http://johnstonesvinblanc.blogspot.com/2009/03/green-velvet-cupcakes-for-st-patricks.html
what a cool giveaway
i love their posters – the chemistry and the psychology ones are really cool
i am canadian!
(also you should probably change “citizen” to “resident”)
awesome giveaway….
i love the one video about the love story. its so corny but cute.
i am a u.s. resident (but canadian)!!!!
agreed. it is super expensive. these coupons would come in handy
I’m Canadian, and my favourite ad is the “Cheat Death” one. I love Pom but it’s too expensive for me to buy :(
Holy yum!!
I’m American :-D The Cheat Death ad is my favorite.
What an awesome contest! I’ve recently started reading your blog (so great) and I love POM juice, I normally don’t drink juice but I love POM, it’s my weekly treat. I chose the “KA-POM” ad as my favorite because that’s sort of how I feel after some POM juice. I’m Canadadian!
I heart POM, but I either never think to buy it or am short on grocery money when I do…and it’s an indulgence really so it doesn’t make it into my basket!
I loved looking through the ads. I chose the “Relax, you’ll live longer” ad because I just returned from a Dominican vacation and the palm tree reminds me of the trip. :) Cute!
I’m Canadian!
Good Morning! I love POM. They are so creative. I would have to say that “Antioxidants are a girl’s new best friend” is my favorite. Antioxidants do a lot more for me than a flashy diamond. ;) Oh, and I’m an American Girl!
Wow, props to POM and OSG for the awesome giveaway!
They are all great POM ads, but my favorite would be “death defying”.
I am a proud Canadian ;)
I like the tea ones – especially the “Overide your genetics” because I’m fighting obesity which the rest of the family all struggle with as well. :) I can be different. That and the condensation on the glass makes my mouth water thinking about that icy cool drink…it’s in the 70’s here in the warm southern USA. :)
POM is unfortunately a splurge for me – too pricey! I’d love coupons!
I’m also a nerdy science gal, so the “pure science” ad was much appreciated. However, I laughed out loud when I saw the one that says “What gets your heart pumping?” with the pom in the bra…too funny!
I’m a US resident!
Hi Angela!
My favorite ad (it was tough…they’re hilarious!) is probably the “comic” caption one that says “Juice Impostors Beware!” I hate the sugary juices that are marketed as a healthy start to the day, and I hope more people will switch to a little POM-love in the mornings instead :).
US-girl here.
My favorite ad is the “Ancient power” one with the POM bottle as part of Stonehenge. It just cracked me up and I like that people will recognize what they mean. In general, I really like that whole line of ads (with the “Life preserver” and all those).
I’m an American!
cheat death is my favorite!! I’M AMERICAN!
