Antioxidants are extraordinarily important when it comes to overall health. They are abundant in richly hued summer fruits, such as berries, plums, peaches and cherries. This fruit salad packs even more of a nutritional punch with the addition of vanilla infused raw honey and bee pollen. If you’re new to eating bee pollen, a little goes a long way, so start off with just a few granules and gradually work your way up to a teaspoon.

Ingredients:
For the vanilla-infused honey:
1 vanilla bean
2 cups raw honey
For the fruit salad:
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup blackberries
3 small plums, sliced
1 peach or nectarine, sliced
1-2 teaspoons bee pollen
2-3 tablespoons vanilla infused honey
Preparation
- Make the vanilla infused honey by splitting the vanilla bean down the center, exposing the inside. Scrape the vanilla with a small spoon and stir into the honey. Cut the pod into 3 pieces and add that to the honey as well. Use on fruits, in desserts, or just by the spoonful as desired.
- Prepare the fruit and gently combine in a bowl. Top with bee pollen and drizzle with honey.
