Bee Pollen

I've never used bee pollen before,

What brand do you use?
What is your favorite recipe?
Liquid or granules?

I use a local brand and buy direct from the bee farmer. I treats his bees well and doesn't use wierd gasses and such to collect honey and bee pollen. I'm sure there is someone in your area that does the same. Unless you trust you supplier you don't always know what you are getting or hows they treat the bee's.; ▶ Reply to This

Super cereal

3 to 9 tlbs. soaked hemp seeds (Soaked about a couple of minutes or so doesn't take long at all)
2 to 3 tlbs bee pollen
1 to 2 tsp spirulina or AFA powder
2 tsp honey

You can also add other stuff if you want like cacao, maca or goji berries. Blueberries add an interesting taste but slow the digestion. Every once and a while I will add vanilla powder. Get creative and enjoy!; ▶ Reply to This

In the past, I have purchased http://www.ysorganic.com Y.S. Bee Pollen at whole foods and it is great.
