Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or 2%
- 1 tablespoon bee pollen granules plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon honey raw or local
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach packed, optional for added nutrients
Notes
Bee pollen should be introduced gradually if you're new to it - start with 1/2 teaspoon and work up to 1 tablespoon. Store bee pollen in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours (shake well before serving). For a vegan version, substitute maple syrup for honey and use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
