January is here and 2018 is in full swing! As always, this can be a popular time of year to re-evaluate your diet and get back in touch with your health and wellness goals. Always a fan of the realistic, I recently read some good advice that I thought I would share: Set small, attainable goals for yourself.
Remember that the journey to wellness is a marathon that needs to be sustained over time, and not a race.
Start simply by making a smoothie bowl like this one to fuel your next early morning meeting or afternoon workout. We hope the color, flavor and added nutrition boost puts a smile on your face on even the dreariest winter day.
Make sure to read more about why we love Spirulina by checking out our recent blog post here.
Don't be afraid to get creative! There are thousands of ways to make this smoothie, so feel free to add whatever sounds good - or is about to go bad in the fridge.
Place solid ingredients in blender and pour in milk. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Garnish with desired toppings (shredded coconut, frozen berries or fresh mint) and enjoy!

Bee Pollen vs. Royal Jelly vs. Propolis: There are numerous bee products available, so let’s take a moment to examine the differences between bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis.
Bee products have been revered for thousands of years, trans-culturally, for nourishment, healing, and well-being. Today, they are being rediscovered as natural superfoods. Three of the most popular treasures of the hive are bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis. They’re often combined, but each is also quite distinct in its origins, components and health benefits. Appreciating these differences can help you make the most of what nature’s hardest workers offer.
Royal jelly is the royal bee food and a super nutrient-rich substance and to keep its health benefits intact it needs to be stored properly.
Knowing how to store it properly is essential to maintaining its potency. Whether you're using fresh royal jelly, freeze-dried royal jelly powder, or capsules, you need to be aware of their shelf life and best practices
Bee pollen is more than just a fad health product, it is a nutritional powerhouse and one of Mother Nature’s most complete superfoods. Bee pollen is a functional food praised for its beauty, health, and wellness benefits, being very rich in antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins (such as vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin E), minerals (such as zinc, iron, magnesium and calcium) and much more.
