The Buzz

I've been researching bee pollen, listed as a super food. It claims to cure everything from arthritis to obesity. I don't know if all this is true, but I figure it certainly can't hurt. The most fascinating thing I read (more than once) was a study in which mice were kept alive, perfectly healthy, on nothing but bee pollen. It contains all the nutrients necessary for life. It is flavorless when combined with a smoothie and grinds up to nothing, so why not?

Feeling Horny Honey? Smoothie
1 kiwano melon (horned melon)
1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon bee pollen
1 tablespoon honey
4 coconut water ice cubes (or regular ice cubes)

Combine all in the container of the Vita-Mix. Start on variable #1, increase to #10, then high for 30 seconds, until completely smooth.
