Bee pollen is the perfect healthy topping to add to your favorite oatmeal, granola or smoothie. It has a broad spectrum of amino acids and healthy antioxidants. Bee pollen aids in the creation of more red blood cells, but best of all it can relieve allergies for those who suffer during allergy season. The best use is to start out with a small amount to test your body’s reaction and then gradually increase your dose. I started with a small amount, but now consume as much as 2 to 3 full teaspoons per day. My favorite is adding it to the top of a smoothie; it adds nice texture and sweetness to the mix. One of the best brands is YS Organic Bee Farms, as they only use the highest quality pollen and operate under organic guidelines.
