'તારા  વીના શ્યામ મને એકલુ રે લાગે, Pomegrante Pick Me Up પીવા ને વહેલો આવજે '

       Today's Navratri special is the most favorite smoothie in my family. Me and my family love this smoothie from Jamba juice. It's like whenever we see Jamba Juice anywhere, our car goes to it's parking lot by itself..:) no seriously! Nothing is better than Pomegranate Pick Me Up from Jamba Juice.  Basically it's  a inspired recipe from Jamba Juice, but of course I added my magically secret ingredients in it. I tried it at home with some my favorite ingredients and it came out amazingly great. So I thought to share with you and boost your energy for this Navratra with this amazingly great smoothie, "Pomegranate Pick Me Up." Navratri is a period of fasting. Some people fast all the nine days and some only for some days. During the fasting period, people make various dishes which follow the strictures laid down as to what kind of foods can be consumed and what not. The diet is strictly vegetarian and based on only fruits, juices, milk, potato and some other root vegetables.

       Even though it is a period of fasting there is fantastic array of sweets and other foods that one can enjoy. For that reason, I'm going to share  a unique combination of ingredients, which will end up a healthy version of a smoothie. All the nine days of navratri are devoted to Maa Durga and Maa Amba, Goddess of Shakti(Power). One of the best part about Navratri is Dandiya and Garba performed on evenings of Navratri. The dancers strike the sticks with their partners and dance in circular motion, to the rhythm of th emusic played in the background.. Oh my god, my legs started playing garba already.:), and yours too, right? Stop before you go to play Dandiya or Garba, pick up the glass of 'Pomegranate Pick Me Up' smoothie and get energy to play all night.
