Like I mentioned on Monday, this is the other quinoa product that I was so excited to talk to you about (before resuming my normal recipe format!). It’s called Keen-Wah Decadence!
This energy bar is truly amazing. Just reading the ingredient list, my jaw dropped and I got very excited about the laundry list of superfoods that make up this bar. How would you feel if you learned that your energy bar of choice had only 195 calories, 6 grams of protein, and was made from quinoa (flakes, flour, and crisps), cacao nibs, chia seeds, almonds, almond butter, and real dark chocolate? Pretty excited, I’m guessing! I certainly was!
I also love that this quinoa protein bar is gluten free. By keeping the ingredient list to a minimum, and not adding unnecessary flours, I feel that this bar maintains the integrity of the ingredients, insuring a gluten free protein bar.
Look! You can actually see an almond in there!
The Keen Wah Decadence bar has a lovely texture and tastes like dark chocolate and almonds. I love that I can tell there are cacao nibs in the bar, because the “chocolate alcohol” flavor lingers after each bite. Lovely. I’m super excited because I feel like this company is really on to something great, and they have two new flavors coming out soon, so there’s even more to look forward to!
note: you can buy these through yogaearth.com
Strike up a conversation: Are you as hyped about quinoa as I am?

There was me saying how useless Quinoa is http://wp.me/p2fe8y-5Y and you turn up with these two posts. They both look amazing. I’m off to buy some quinoa.

Thanks Dave! I’m glad I could change your mind. Beautiful recipe by the way. Keep me updated on your quinoa adventures!
