Springtime Bee Pollen Smoothie

Springtime Bee Pollen Smoothie

Bee pollen has a slightly sweet, floral taste that pairs beautifully with fruits and creamy ingredients. Because the granules are small, they blend easily and add a mild crunch if sprinkled on top! If you’re trying bee pollen for the first time, it’s best to start with a small amount to ensure you don’t have a sensitivity to it.

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana

  • ½ cup frozen strawberries or mixed berries

  • ½ cup mango or pineapple

  • 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt

  • 1–2 teaspoons bee pollen

  • 1 teaspoon Champlain Valley raw, unfiltered honey 

  • Small handful of spinach (optional for added greens)

Instructions

  1. Add the almond milk to a blender first to help everything blend smoothly.

  2. Add the frozen banana, berries, and mango or pineapple.

  3. Spoon in the yogurt and add the bee pollen.

  4. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  5. Taste and add honey if you’d like a little extra sweetness.

Pour into a glass and sprinkle a pinch of extra bee pollen on top for color and texture.

Tips for Using Bee Pollen

  • Store bee pollen in the refrigerator or freezer to preserve freshness.

  • Start with small amounts (½–1 teaspoon) and increase if desired.

  • Sprinkle extra granules on top of your smoothie bowl, yogurt, or oatmeal for added texture.
