I got a 22 Day Pineapple Chocolate Chip Wonder Energy Bar and I wasn’t sure about it because pineapple and chocolate honestly didn’t sound that appealing to me. I finally decided to try it one day and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! I used it as my inspiration to create this Pineapple Delight Breakfast Bowl.
Pineapple Delight Breakfast Bowl

1/2c organic quinoa, cooked and cooled
1/4c quinoa flakes, barley flakes, or oats (or combination of totalling 1/4c, used quinoa and barley flakes)

As a Vega Recipe Ambassador I receive Vega products, which I used as an option in this recipe. I use Vega not because it is given to me but because it has been my plant-based protein of choice since before I started blogging and some recipes are made with Vega products I purchase. I only write about foods I love, my blog is an extension of my hobby to make fun healthy food creations for me and my family.

Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it. I’ve had the unhealthy version of pineapple dipped in dark chocolate (in those edible bouquets), and I love it. Yum!

Thank you! I honestly never thought of pineapple and chocolate before I had that bar and it is another one of my strange combo loves! I have had other fruits with chocolate but just not pineapple and thinking back I like oranges and chocolate so not sure why I never tried it before now. Let me know how you like it when you make it!
