Fruit shake mixed with bee pollen powder is a very nutritious and tasty drink
Before we go into that it is important to note that bee pollen has chalky taste – not that it has a foul flavor.
Some people actually like it that way; however, the taste can put some people off. However, bee pollen is an acquired taste for most. That is why a lot of people prefer taking it in capsule form.
The good news is that there are several bee pollen recipes you can follow to create delightful and mega-nutritious desserts and snacks that are also tasty.
The most popular recipes are those of fruit shakes, which can serve either as a refreshing snack or a power-packed breakfast to start your day right.
One of the great things about fruit shake bee pollen recipes is that they are so easy to prepare. All you need is a blender, some fruits of your choice, and bee pollen granules or powder.
For example, here’s a tropical fruit shake you can take as an energy-boosting breakfast. Take a medium-sized banana, two slices of melon, a slice of mango, a tablespoon of flax seeds, half a teaspoon of lemon juice, and a quarter cup of orange juice. Combine all the ingredients and blend till smooth.
Then take two 800-mg capsules of bee pollen, open the capsule and pour the powder into the mix. Blend well and serve cold. You can make the shake creamier by replacing the orange juice with milk, or you can give it a boost of protein by adding an egg yolk.
If you are using pollen granules, then you need to blend the granules together with the other ingredients mentioned above.
For a refreshing afternoon snack, you can take a cup of apple juice, a tablespoon of honey, some strawberries and a banana. Again, add two capsules of bee pollen supplement and blend all the ingredients until smooth.
The ideal dosage of bee pollen is 3-6 capsules a day but if you are new to taking this supplement, you can start by adding only one capsule to each of your fruit shake bee pollen recipes.
You can increase the dosage to two capsules for every fruit shake after one week, then to the full dosage of 3 capsules in the morning fruit shake and another 3 capsules in the afternoon fruit shake.
You can be as creative as you like when it comes to making your own bee pollen recipes because this natural substance can be combined with practically any other food without producing negative side effects.
You do have to be careful if you are taking other medications or if you are allergic to bees, in which case you should consult with your doctor to check whether it is safe for you to use bee pollen at all.
