Stephen Coe, executive chef of Bokx 109 American Prime, makes this smoothie with his own pollen powder of bee pollen granules, honey, and nectar. Bee pollen granules are available at some supermarkets and health food stores and add a delicate floral taste to sweet and savory dishes. Those who consume bee pollen regularly claim that it gives them energy (those allergic to bees may also be allergic to pollen).
