Quinoa Puffs are a thing and they’re awesome. You can pop them in your mouth like you would popcorn. I Heart Keenwah uses organic Bolivian Royal Quinoa as the primary ingredient in its products. The quinoa snacks are actually delicious. You’ll feel like you’re munching on cheese balls (like the ones in that giant plastic container you bought for your dorm room freshman year of college, when your health was just a suggestion).
These grown-up cheese puffs pack five grams of protein and come in four different flavors: Aged cheddar, Sea Salt Truffle, Sweet Chili and Herbs De Provence. One of the best things about this snack is that you can understand all of the ingredients. These days ingredient labels are a scary thing. With most mass-produced snacks you might have a chance at
These days ingredient labels are a scary thing. With most mass-produced snacks you might have a chance at understanding about 10 percent of the ingredients. The ingredients on quinoa puffs are pretty transparent: Quinoa flour, brown rice flour, white rice flour, pea protein concentrate and baking powder. In addition to those base ingredients, a few ingredients are added depending on the flavor.
You’re obviously never going to have the same satisfied feeling you’d get from real protein, but you’re getting in your necessary protein in a cheap, healthy way. If the idea of eating a big bowl of quinoa just doesn’t do it for you, this is an easier way to eat the complete protein.
Quinoa has become a household name in the health food world. It’s usually considered to be a whole grain (like brown rice, wheat and barley), but in reality it’s a seed. Quinoa is quick to cook, a perfect healthy side dish and it has the highest protein content out of all the grains. That’s why vegans and vegetarians flock to it. Not only is it a protein, but it’s a complete protein with all of the 9 essential amino acids.
You’ll feel good eating quinoa puffs, a crunchy, delicious snack, and you won’t even realize they’re quinoa. Next time you want a bag of chips, opt for something protein-packed like this. Your body will appreciate it.
