Bee Pollen Recipes
By using the products of the hive in some bee pollen recipes, which includes healthy shakes and dressings, on a daily basis, you will find a new level of vitality and energy. And I am not just saying that! One personal word here – I am a fairly active individual. I train for half marathons, and bike races. I also LOVE training with weights and doing Yoga. I will always take one tablespoon of Bee Pollen before a workout. I usually work out for about 2 hours in the early morning and I NEVER run out of energy – in fact, I find that part way through my workout, run or whatever I am doing that day, my energy levels INCREASE! I am not talking energy like bounce off the walls type of energy, but I find that I have special ROOM IN THE TANK to keep going and being mentally there. It is not like borrowing energy (Like with Coffee or caffeine), so I don’t have to “give back to the bank” at the end of the day. Did I Mention Energy?I work full time (and then some) I also have energy at the end of the day to do those things that most of us are too tired to do – such as laundry, cleaning, researching or going out with friends and family etc.– then I fall asleep like a baby! Isn’t that how it is supposed to be!?Most people need coffee or caffeine to get them through the day. I liken the “ENERGY” effect of Pure Bee Pollen it to the Branch Chain Amino Acids found in Bee Pollen, the trace minerals and factor X – (the unknown)..The fact is my body craves the stuff – and even though it has a funny taste – I actually love it!! Please note that for the bee pollen recipes below I have given Dairy Free Options and Gluten Free options for those with allergies or intolerances.
