Bee Pollen and Apricots Easy Smoothie 🐝🐝

in food β€’Β  5 years agoΒ 

Hey guys!

How's everything in your world? I'm sure everything it's just the way it should be! Good or bad, we have to embrace whatever we get and stay positive. There are certain things in our lives which we can control and others which we don't; but we depend on these things. Sometimes is about our jobs, our family, our home, our kids, our moral principles, our acts, our behavior, our genetics, our our our our. And not least HEALTH!!Β 

HEALTH.........there is so much to talk about this topic! its such a BIIIIIIIIIIIG BIIIIIIIIIG and controverse subject. Sometimes is so hard to define what health is. I think Health can be subjective or better said, the ways of getting and being healthy depend from culture to culture, individual to individual. Β 

🐝🐝🐝

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that our biological well-being can be controlable (if there aren't specific genetical conditions or diseases ofc). How? WE all heard it!! EXERCISE! HAVE A BALANCED DIET! GET ENOUGH SLEEP! Β LAUGH AND BE POSITIVE! DON'T STRESS! DON'T SMOKE! etc

In this case, I'm here to share with you this smoothie recipe which is full of nutrients and vitamins. Controlling what we put in our body is a way of maintaining our healthy on an optimum level. We are what we eat!!! And I always quote on Hippocrates ->Β 

LET YOUR FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE and MEDICINE BE YOUR FOOD!

Ingredients

  • banana
  • apricots
  • one peach (optional)
  • full fat coconut milk
  • bee pollen

Blend everything and enjoy!!

Here you can read some nutritional facts of Bee Pollen! I found it a very complex superfood, containing loads of beneficial chemical compounds, like honey. 🍯🐝

If you follow a Low-calories Diet, you can replace the coconut milk with water. Β It's not really the same taste (cause let's face it...Coconut is coconut!!! haha) but I assure you, its still delicious!Β Β 

What I love about this smoothie is the energy it gives me. Maybe it's all in my head (the Placebo effect) because I truly believe that drinking this specific smoothie raises my energy levels or it truly does. I love bee pollen and whenever I feel tired and "hungrish & willing" for a drink, I choose to make myself a smoothie with bee pollen. Very helpful for mommy-life haha!Β 

🐝🐝🐝

Stay healthyΒ and drink smoothies!! :p

Love,Β

Hey thank you @nateonsteemit! Funny thing today I was thinking of you when I crossed the street. We leave on country side and our neighbourns have chickens!! I took also a picture but its on my phone and now I'm on my laptop. I will return with a photo ok?
Anyways, I saw the front end but I;m not sure how to post on it. And also where should I check the wallets?:D:D:d sorry BUT I'm a BIG newbie when it comes to things like this.

Damn! That’s a great sounding smoothie. It’s coming onto warmer weather here, which means smoothie breakfasts for me (I need cooked brekkies in winter).... definitely going to give bee pollen a go!!!!

Hello there @metametheus thank you so much for visiting! I really appreciate it:)
Same here, smoothies in the summer, warm brekkies in winter. Right now, we have a REALLY beautiful autumn with 27 degrees so I'm still on smoothies. Maybe its not always in the morning but still. Did you try bee pollen before? It's a very controversed food topic. Me personal I love it and I consum this superfood for almost 6 -7 yrs.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

Ohhh thank you so much @steemitmamas!! Just found you and honestly I can't wait to learn new stuff from you mammas!! :x:X

Oh great! We’ll be looking forward!

That smoothie looks so delish! This was such a bright and beautiful post! I love your bright and clear photos! Have you been to the @steemitmmas Discord server? If not we’d love to connect with you and get to know you better. We mamas love supporting one another.

My family is on a keto lifestyle journey so I am always looking for fun healthy alternatives for us to drink...especially ones my kids would love! πŸ˜„ We love food as medicine and use essential oils daily as an alternative to over the counter madness.

Anyhoo thanks for sharing this recipe and quality post! Hope to connect with you on Discord soon :)

Β  Β· Β 5 years agoΒ 

Thank you very much @crosheille! I really appreciate your kind words! My mom also followed the keto diet. I mean, she's still kind of following it right now hahaha but she can't help it. She always cheats and doesn't stick correctly as she should be! She loves keto and she's trying to have 90% vegan fats combined with a lot of greens and veggies.
I just snap in the Discord, talk to you there hopefully! Thank you for supporting my post. It's a good recipe for busy mammas who need lot of energy! I'm sure you know what I mean hihi .

You are very welcome! Oh cool! Haha she’s not the only one, sometimes I struggle to stay on track. Yes I love greens and veggies and try to incorporate them into each meal.

Oh yes I definitely know what you mean. That’s one of the reasons I started the keto lifestyle was to have more energy to survive make it daily as a stay at home mom of five! πŸ˜…

Thanks for joining the Discord!!

Ughh thats rough! I'm just at 1kid and sometimes I feel I'm gonna throw myself into the poolπŸ˜… ! I'm just kidding but Wow! Five is a lot to take in! Me and my husband want 3 children but you know...this is just us! Maybe God's plans are other than we think. So who knows? Anyways, mommy life is best. I love being a mom!

Β  Β· Β 5 years agoΒ (edited)

Hahaha! Oh my I have those days lol! I’ll tell the kids

I’m outta here, it’s been fun

Lol, they’re like yeah right mama you can’t leave us. It’s funny how much joy and chaos we get with our kids all in one. It’s a lot of work but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I too love being a mommy.

It’s funny because we didn’t want any children at first. Then when they started coming they just wouldn’t stop and before you know it we have five! But yes we’ll see what God has in store for you all, you never know ~

I LOVE the recipe method for smoothies... blend amd enjoy!!! I now have a craving for good apricots. Hard to find here!!

Thank you dear @riverflows! Oohh thats too bad. We have them here and they are growing naturally. Lucky for us, romanian people dont use to many fertilizers and pesticides when it comes to fruits and veggies. Maybe its because back in the history, ROmania was a poor country (I think its still is but you wouldnt say if you'd be here seeing what I see). So what I'm trying to say is that they couldnt afford buying all these crap stuff and use it to plants. Maybe this is why we still dont use (to many) artificial 'plant-caring' products. Sorry for these terms, I dont have time using google translate but I guess you know what I mean!

See that's awesome. Less chemicals make for a richer soil anyway and I bet your apricots taste amazing!!!!! Xxxx

full fat coconut milk? That's a meal in a glass!

Β  Β· Β 5 years agoΒ 

Hey! Yes, it is! Thats why I usually have this for breakfast. But ofc you can replace the full coconut milk with whatever. I love full fat coconut milk and I have it very often. I dont count all calories but maybe I should :p cause they count right?

unless you are in a state of ketosis you won't absorb much from the fat, not only that it's impossible to gain fat on your body from EATING fat. Only carbs can raise insulin and insulin is required for fat storage

Β  Β· Β 5 years agoΒ 

Ohh I see! I have a strange feeling that you're very familiar with the keto diet then?
:d:d

yes, I did keto a few times for weightloss

How do you get bee pollen?

Β  Β· Β 5 years agoΒ 

Hey! I have the bee pollen from someone my familly knows. It is made here, locally! We just bought it from this man who has many hives.
