Bee healthy
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Natural bee products - like honey, pollen, royal jelly and propolis - are full of amino acids and bioflavonoids. Plus, they offer unique flavors nutrients. In the next 24 hours, challenge yourself to add a bee “keeper” to your meal: a dollop of honey on toast or in tea, or a supplement that contains pollen or propolis.

I love honey and I make sure that I take 1 big teaspoon full everyday it’s good for you.
My dad is a bee keeper so I get all kinds of bee products. He also has a few hives near my house so most of the pollen they forage is local.
Since I buy unsweetened peanut butter, I will put a bit of raw honey with it. What a sweet treat on homemade bread!
This spring we added two honeybee hives to our hobbyfarm. The bees are really fun to watch and beekeeping is an addicting hobby. Next year we will try to collect some of our own bee pollen to help treat our families allergies and promote health.
Thanks Kashi! I love honey. I added honey to my oatmeal instead of artificial sweetner.
Honey can also be used with savory flavors. For instance, I use it to make yummy sweet potato fries. I start by cutting the potatoes into fry shape, drizzle EVOO all over them and sprinkle to taste the following: salt & pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and finally a teaspoon of honey! Delish and nutritious :)
Adding honey and dried fruit/frozen berries to low fat unsweetened yoghurt is so much better than those artificially sweetened/over corn syrup sweetened yogurts.
local raw honey is absolutely wonderful on everything I could think of to put it on!
I love Kashi! It is the best!
My daughter eats Kashi cereal everyday for lunch, and I now eat it too.
I recently made some granola bars at home…..the batch contained a whole cup of honey which ended up using my entire honey bear. Great substitute for sugar as the bars are very sweet, but no added sugar.
I’d like to learn of more ways than tea to utilize fresh honey. Does it have any health benefits?
I like to add honey to any thing when possible since its a natural sweetner.
I like putting honey in my tea.
I always use honey to sweeten my tea and i also use it to when i cook carrots. The kids love it that way.
I try to add a spoonful of bee pollen to my Kashi Go Lean every morning—a little extra energy is always good….

Being a diabetic, I use honey whenever possible as a healthy substitute for sugar. It is excellent in cereal, smoothies, coffee, baked cookies. Not only that, but honey has many ways of treating diabetic problems. I have, as well my family and friends, loved Kashi since was first invented by improving crackers, cookies, cereals, etc. I have seen changes in the healthy way I eat, now with my friends who have tasted the Kashi products at my home.
My family loves Kashi products and we can not live without them.
Wonderful???
Keep posting and I thank you all for sharing the goody.
Love the idea of fresh honey in my oatmeal every morning. Thanks
