Feast your imagination on this ingredient list:

Semisweet Chocolate Honey
Natural Peanut Butter Bee Pollen
Organic Almonds Organic Espresso Coffee Beans
Organic Golden Raisins Sweetened Dried Cranberries
Organic Quinoa Organic Rolled Oats
Orange Juice Organic Chia Seeds
Organic Sesame Seeds Dry Toasted Organic Sunflower Seeds

Doesn’t that sound delicious?  I think if I were given a choice of 14 foods to live on for the rest of my life I would submit this list.  Amazingly, they’re all packed into one product called Kep’s Pollen Balls.

I was introduced to Kep’s Pollen Balls last Friday before the 2010 Leadville 100 MTB race.  A small group of high energy folks were buzzing around 6th Street in black and yellow striped socks handing out silver foil packages.  Inside each package was a chocolate covered bee pollen energy ball.

It tasted fantastic!  The first flavor I noticed was the espresso coffee – like eating a chocolate covered coffee bean.  But the coffee wasn’t overwhelming.  Next came the unique taste of pollen and cranberry followed by the slightly crunchy texture of sesame, chia, and rolled oats.

I found the promoters and talked them into giving me one more sample to bring home (thanks!).  The ball was flattened a bit in my suitcase, and after snapping a few photos, it tasted just as good the first one.
