Please note:
Green tea powder and bee pollen can be very stimulating, don’t have too close to bed time.
If you are allergic to bees or any bee products do not use the bee pollen, substitute with berries
To make it easier to blend you can pre-soak the nuts in water, throw the water from the nuts off though and blend with fresh water
I wish you good health!
