Bee Pollen, Berry, and Broccoli Rabe Smoothie
Getting a good amount of your fruits and veggies isn’t the easiest to do when your schedule is packed and you have limited time to prepare healthy meals. This smoothie combines a large serving of fruits and vegetables with their essential vitamins and minerals, while also providing some protein from the hemp seeds to get you ready for your day, or give you a mid-day boost. Plus, bee pollen adds an extra dose of antioxidants that are effective in alleviating spring allergies.
