Dark chocolate bar, puffed quinoa and coffee - fair trade
A crispy and energizing recipe born from the collaboration between Umano and the fine artisanal chocolate factory Xocolatl.
Starting from the idea of the famous crunchy coffee chocolate bar, we reinvented this classic for a version that combines pleasure, health and ethics.
We hesitated for a while between creating this recipe with dark chocolate or milk chocolate... and we finally decided to do both!
The “dark” version is an invitation to a trip to the Andes with our organic chocolate. pure origin Ecuador 70% with aromatic notes that are both fine and powerful, encrusted with small balls of quinoa from Bolivia and sprinkled with coffee from Peru.
The quinoa balls are obtained by a special extrusion technique which gives them an intense crunch. From the highlands of Bolivia, this organic quinoa. is imported by a Quebec company that has supported sustainable quinoa growing practices for several decades.
And to complete this Andean trilogy, we use our delicious organic fair trade Picchu Peru coffee.
With approximately 1 gram of coffee per 25 gram serving (half a tablet), it's a nice little boost of energy at the start or middle of the day. In addition, the theobromine contained in cocoa, combined with caffeine, creates a gentler stimulation which reduces the unwanted effects of coffee.
The result is a perfectly balanced snack, energizing, with the right amount of sugar, coffee and cocoa and supporting thanks to the high protein content of quinoa.
