Bee Pollen Raw Brownies (No Bake)

These brownies are by far, one of the best things I have ever tasted. Ever... With that being said, let me tell you a little about Bee Pollen.

Bee pollen has become a popular supplement throughout the years and has been proven to have an effective boost on the immune system. It is also beneficial in increasing sexual functions in both men & women, as well as stimulating our glands & organs. This Super Food has also been used as an appetite suppressant and promotes a natural weight loss alternative. The list goes on and on...

It has a bitter sweet mild honey flavor and added the perfect touch for these antioxidant rich 100% Raw Brownies. I ground up my own cocoa powder with Theo's Organic Fair Trade Nibs nut you can substitute store bought cocoa powder. Just make sure it's high quality.

Caution: Bee products may cause an allergic reaction in some sensitive people. Anyone with a suspected sensitivity should consult a health care professional before using.
