In a nutshell:
It was only to be a matter of time before quinoa graced our cereal bowls. Leave your concerns at the door – these sprinkles are delicious.
I found myself sprinkling them over a (soy) yoghurt.
Then some avocado, because why not?!
And finally I had the sprinkles as an alternative to cereal.
The Good:
The sprinkles give you a daily fix of vitamins, minerals and protein – giving a nutritious boost to ordinary dishes. Already it appeals to the I’m on a ‘health-kick’ me due to the lack of gluten, wheat or dairy free. I can imagine the clean eating brigade looking favourably on them.
The Bad:
A tad pricey at £8.95 to lure a first-time customer – but they are handcrafted in a home kitchen. Possibly not the most negative ‘bad’ but, man, are the Moorish. I had to ban myself from taking them into the office to save myself snacking on them all day.
The Verdict:
I was initially nervous at the presence of beetroot in, well, anything – but I am now a convert. Personally, I really liked them on their own with a dash of soy milk. It’s a thumbs up from me and the only question is: what will you sprinkle yours over?
