Almond-Hazelnut Quinoa Energy Bars

We’ve been obsessed with quinoa puffs ever since we discovered them. They are much easier to work with and incorporate into recipes than rice puffs. They can be used in a variety of recipes, including Almond-Hazelnut Quinoa Energy Bars, which we recently developed.

These satisfying soft Quinoa Bars are super simple to make – no baking required, just combine 4 ingredients and that’s it! This is the real deal if you’re looking for a quick post-workout snack or just a bite of something semi-sweet! 🙂 

Why we make our own energy bars?

1. We know exactly what’s inside (no preservatives)

2. Maple syrup or dates as a sweetener

3. It’s cheaper

4. Create your own favor by combining your favorite ingredients.

5. They taste way better!
