My easy vegan salad
As I reached home around 11 h pm, I wanted to prepare a quick light diner before going to bed. As I always keep boiled and cleaned veggies in the fridge,it was easy for me to prepare that salad by mixing avocados,almonds,beetroots,cucumbers and spinach leaves with olive oil and lemon juice.
This salad is vegan as it does not contain any animal products ,you can also prepare it for lunch with a whole wheat sandwich and a fruit.

Bee pollen
Bee pollen is an additional item on the list of superfoods. Bee pollen cannot be synthesized in a laboratory because researchers found that by taking away a bee’s pollen-filled comb and feed her manmade pollen,the bee dies even if all nutrients are present in the lab pollen.Bee pollen is the pollen ball that has been packed by worker honeybees into pellets.
It contains vitamins,minerals,carbohydrates,lipids, and proteins.It comes from the pollen that collects on the bodies of bees.It is important to know the difference between bee pollen and natural honey,honeycomb,bee venom or royal jelly.
Bee pollen boosts the immune system,enhance energy levels and prevent colds.Make sure you are getting it free from pesticides and store it in the refrigerator to avoid destruction from heat.
Use granules as toppings for yogurt or cereal,blend in a smoothie,sprinkle also over salads,fruits and dark chocolate.
Before purchasing bee pollen granules, make sure you are not allergic to bee products as it can cause dangerous adverse effects.
