Raw banana and bee pollen slice

Bee pollen, one of nature’s super foods, is known to aid digestion and circulation – two things I definitely need help with! I’ve wanted to make Jess@Wellness Warrior’s slice ever since I saw her post this recipe and after finding some bee pollen at the local organic markets, I put a slightly different version to the test. The recipe would be just as delicious without the pollen, too!

  • 1 x banana
  • 10 x dates
  • 1 cup x rolled oats, processed to a flour
  • 3/4 cup x rolled oats
  • 1 tsp x bee pollen
  • 1/4 cup x cocoa nibs
  • 1/8 cup x maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp x cinnamon

Chop the bananas and dates and place in a food processor with the processed oats. Add all the other ingredients and blend until well combined. If necessary, transfer the mixture to a bowl and add extra oats until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. As it’s a raw slice, the mixture shouldn’t be too runny. Spoon into a glass dish and sprinkle with extra bee pollen if desired. Transfer to the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes.
