First I made a potent berry smoothie. I started with an Amazing Grass sample - Berry Flavour:
And added unsweetened almond milk, and about a cup of frozen mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries).
Next I added a scoop of Chia Seeds:
And a tsp of Bee Pollen:
Voila:
Powerful potent brain food - in a glass.
Next I cooked up some mocha oats:
Ta da:
Alright ... that's enough. Off to do the dreaded homework. Can't put it off any longer.
If I come out alive, you'll hear from me later.

Jolene, Looks great. What are the nutritional benefits of Bee Pollen and Chia Seeds? I've seen them around, but never used/ tried either of them. Would love to know more!
I feel for you with the homework, I'm glad my time is over, although sometimes I do miss the studying.
btw do you have a blog roll, I'd love to know what other blogs you read.

Oh those oats look great! Is it just simple oatmeal with chocolate chips? What are you studying?
Kat - Chia seeds have enormous health benefits. You do not need to grind them like you do with flax seeds, and they contain a lot of essential fatty acids (like fish). They also provide antioxidants. See this site for more info: http://icreatewisdom.com/chiaseed.html
Bee pollen also has a HUGE list of benefits. For info, check out this site: http://www.alternativescentral.com/beepollen.htm
Today was my first day trying either, so I don't know a lot about how/ if they will work to give me energy etc. But I will keep you posted, as I continue to use them.
Simply Life - I used 1/2 cup coffee, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup oats, and then after the oats were done, I topped them with a little bit of flax and a sprinkle of chocolate chips :-) I am studying psychology. I already work as a grade 7/8 school teacher, but am finishing up my second degree in psychology, and since I am doing an honours degree, it requires an experiment and thesis. I am working on the thesis now.
Taylor - I am just getting the hang of the blogger tools, but I think I know how to add a blog roll! I will add one!
You are a dear and I thank you.
