Recipe Collab: Avocado Quinoa Chocolate Truffles

We recently launched Puffed Organic Quinoa on Amazon - think puffed rice, only... quinoa! We've been sprinkling it on yogurt and salad, stirring it into baked goods, and yes, rolling it into truffles! For these, we used Endorfin Foods Coconut Dream Coconut Mylk Chocolate Bar and some skin-and-hair-loving healthy fats thanks to avocado. Keep an eye out for a limited edition chocolate bar collab between I Heart Keenwah and Endorfin Foods, too!
