Pomegranate Juice – a National Academy of Sciences study showed that pomegranate juice reduces cholesterol plaque buildup and increases nitric oxide production (nitric oxide helps reduce arterial plaque), making it a perfect cholesterol lowering food. It’s also been shown to improve fertility. Try these recipes:
Ingredients: |
Pomegranate Plunge
1 cup pomegranate arils
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
2 tablespoon turbinado sugar
3/4 cup water
1 ripe banana
4-5 strawberries, hulled
|
|
|
Directions: |
I made the Pomegranate Plunge last night and decided to leave out the sugar. To me, it was plenty sweet already. But if you like a sweeter taste, turbinado sugar is a less-processed and healthier version of regular white sugar.
