I have been obsessed with bee pollen lately, especially when the clock strikes 3 P.M., an internal clock goes off, where I need a little pick-me-up. I go through phases, one month it's coffee to get that energy boost, the next, it's a square or two of dark chocolate and lately, when three o'clock hits, it's micro trail mix time. It started out with a teaspoon of bee pollen and has evolved into combining it with chia seeds, flax seeds and adding in cocao nibs. Sometimes, I add in a few raw walnuts or almonds and even that square of dark chocolate. Nothing beats that cup of coffee but this is a great energy booster to have with you, when you need a little pick-me-up at work, home or even on the trail. Have fun making your own combinations. Enjoy!
- 1 teaspoon bee pollen
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts (raw shelled hemp seeds)
- 1/2 teaspoon raw cocao nibs
Combine all of the seeds and nibs together. (One cup glass storage containers are great for storing this at home or on the go.) Serves 1.
What does bee pollen taste like? And where do you find hemp hearts? Sounds so exotic!
ReplyDeleteBee pollen is an aquired taste, lol. It tastes like a super concentrated honey with a taste I can't quite put my finger on. I found hemp hearts in the local supermarket, in the healthy aisle! Any health food store will have them. Let me know how you like it, if you try it!
