Bee Pollen Breakfast Smoothie Recipe
Kickstart your day with a nutrient-packed breakfast smoothie with the natural power of bee pollen!
We have recently discovered the many benefits of bee pollen here in the Just In Time Gourmet office and let’s just say we are loving it. If you are not aware, bee pollen is a superfood which is exceptionally good for you with over 250 biologically active substances, a high antioxidant content, anti-inflammatory properties, may boost immunity and more.
We are absolutely obsessing over the Pemberton Honey Co Bee Pollen right now. It comes to us straight from the pristine forests of Western Australia who create an amazing range of WA-made honey.
But not only that, we also throw a delicious blend of banana, mixed berries and chia seeds into the mix to further boost our Bee Pollen Breakfast Smoothie recipe to ensure it is packed with antioxidants, protein, and vitamins to boost energy and support your immune system.
This is the perfect breakfast smoothie for those busy mornings or when you just need a healthy boost!

What is bee pollen?
Bee pollen is a natural superfood. It’s a natural product collected by bees from various plants.
It can be used in smoothies like above, sprinkled over yoghurt, porridge or cereal, mixed in with honey for an added energy booster and you can even stir it into warm tea or water for a refreshing drink. During the winter months you may even want to add it to your lemon & honey drinks for the extra immunity boost to help fight those colds and flus.
It is important to note however that while bee pollen is generally safe, it can cause allergies in people who are sensitive to pollen. If you have a pollen allergy, consult with a healthcare professional before using bee pollen.
Enjoy the benefits of bee pollen and incorporate it into your daily routine for a healthier you!
