I grow so weary of the same snacks over and over. As a runner, I often look for easy portable snacks in bar form that I can grab on the go and eat before I workout. But they do grow old. When I heard about the new I Heart Keenwah snacks, nutritious and made from an all natural quinoa cluster, I was excited to try them.
I was particularly pleased when I looked at the ingredients and found that there was nothing foreign and unprounouncable on there: organic quonia, cashews, tapioca syrup, raw sugar, dried cranberries, honey, almond oil, baking soda and salt. I loved that they were the perfect size to toss a few in the pocket of a running jacket in case I needed a nibble in the middle of a long run.
But the true test for snacky goodness was, of course, the taste test. Sometimes the all-natural snacks just don't have much flavor. Well, let me tell you, these do not disappoint! First off, they are crunchy and chewy, but without being dry and crumbly. I loved the sweet burst of flavor. All three boys really enjoyed them, and Pierce said his favorite part was the cranberries.
And now I have a little confession (blush). When I received the email asking if I'd like to review these, I asked if they would send extra so I could give away one for my readers. I was so greedy to try these that I opened the big bag first and dug right in, without reading the little accompanying note. I was supposed to eat the sample bags and give away the big bag (OOPS!). So sorry readers - I'm terribly embarrassed. What a bad blogger I have been! And thank goodness this tasty snack is only 120 calories per serving, huh? Anyhow, so instead, I'm giving away to one very lucky reader two sample bags - one almond and one peanut ginger. And next time I promise to read first and chow down later (all this running I do - sometimes it just makes a girl mighty hungry!).
Disclaimer: I received 3 bags of I heart Keenwah for review purposes and since I piggishly ate the wrong bag, I will be giving away the two smaller bags. The opinions stated above are my own.

YUM!!
They sound good.
I can't believe they want you to mail the winners win!! Whats up with that.
And you should get to eat them all. I guess companies don't realize what a pain a giveaway can be and how much work goes into it.
Sounds delicious and healthy. If Pierce approves I must give it a try. :)
It sounds like a delicious snack.
They sound delicious. Cooking with quinoa always leaves me very uninspired.
Does Pierce have green eyes? Why did I think they were blue?
Yummy! I love almonds, so I'd like to try the almond version out for sure. I love healthy "treats" like this so I'd be thrilled to win :)
