I am usually very firm with my children about eating a healthy breakfast, so when I told my children that they could have these bars for breakfast with a glass of milk, I could tell that they thought I had made a mistake. I gave them each a square and they all loved them. I was satisfied, knowing that they had a well-rounded breakfast.

What is puffed quinoa? Is it something you buy? Or make with regular quinoa?

Puffed quinoa is quinoa that's been heated until it pops, kind of like mini popcorn, and it adds a nice crunch to things like granola or yogurt. You can buy it ready-made, but it’s also easy to make at home—just dry some rinsed quinoa really well, then toast it in a hot, dry pan until it pops. It only takes a few minutes and gives a light, nutty flavor.
