Bee Pollen Recipes

Angela, CNP

By using the products of the hive in bee pollen recipes and smoothies on a daily basis, you will find a new level of vitality, energy and health.  

I am a fairly active individual.  I am a working mother of two and I train for half marathons and triathlons and do the odd bike race. I also enjoy training with weights and doing Yoga.  As a result of my activity level, I need the absolute best nutrition I can put in my body....or I suspect I'll end up burnt out!

As a result of my bee pollen recipes and smoothies, I find that I rarely run out of energy.  In fact, I often find that part way through my workout, run or whatever I am doing that day, my energy levels tend to increase!  I am not referring to caffeine based energy that has me bouncing off the walls but stable, natural, healthy energy.  I like to call it 'vitality.'

These recipes allow me to 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 or going out with friends and family.   And that is what vitality is  - making it to the end of the day without needing stimulants like coffee to do it.

I attribute the “energy” effect of Pure Bee Pollen to several things - the Branch Chain Amino Acids it contains, the trace minerals and a little bit of factor X – (the unknown compounds it contains).  The fact is my body craves the nutrients found in bee pollen.

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.

Blend all ingredients together in a Blender for 30 seconds or until desired thickness is achieved.
