Simply Great Juice review and a Pomegranate Banana Smoothie on the go.

Simply Great Juice ( PomeGreat Juice/ Pomegranate juice)

As this is my first review I thought let me start with something great and when  Simply Great offered me a chance to review their product, I thought why not.  Simply great is a new range of fruit juices from the maker of Pomegreat, containing super fruits. They come in three different flavours Pomegranate, Mango and Cranberry.

I tried one of their famous range, Pomegreat juice or Pomegranate juice. Pomoegreat (pomegranate juice) is distributed in tetra packs and features their very own super hero characters, this deep red liquid looks and tastes delicious.  The idea behind simply great or super fruit juices, is that it contains 100% natural sweeteners and is packed full of vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients. And I recently came across this Article  on the daily mail, where simply great has claimed that it contains a compound called Pinitol ( derived from the flower bougainveillea), that can counteract the negative effects of sugar. Pomegrate would naturally appeal to those who have grown tired of juices laden with sugar and artificial colors and flavors.

  In general, I remain skeptical of whether or not it has any effects on blood sugar, but yes, Pomegreat lives up to its claims of challenging the nation to find the superhero within and feel simply great.  It comes in a tetra pack, and the packaging could be a little better. It costs around £ 2.15/ unit. It’s available at all major supermarkets nationwide. You can also buy it online from Sainsbury’s. Pomegrate does supply the nutrients and antioxidants in a delicious way that’s making me feel like a Super hero or in other words simply great.

Notes:

Peeling and Freezing bananas cuts down the time in the morning, perfect when the bananas are too ripe so you don’t have to feel sorry about throwing them.

Pomegrate juice adds just enough sweetness, but you could add honey or sugar as per taste.

Yogurt can be replaced with milk.
