Recipe: Lauren Dangoor’s Superfood Chocolate Quinoa Crunch

This delicious snack is so quick and easy! The nutrients come from the superfood mix, cacao and quinoa puffs. Cacao is the purest form of chocolate and is rich in antioxidants. Quinoa puffs are made by very gently heating the quinoa grains until they expand, and are packed with protein and dietary fibres.
