Quantum Energy Squares sent me a box of their vegan, caffeinated energy bars to try. They come in two flavors: dark chocolate cherry with almonds and caffe mocca macchiato with pecans. And not only are these bbs vegan, they’re gluten-free and soy-free as well (I know some of our pals have those allergies!). The company also donates 1{967bf23b37ec6a673a83041540b3f904a815b4119ddf673afb961c1e7592ebdd} of profit to charity. BONUS!
What’s interesting about the bars is that they promise sustained energy: “Our powerful blend of natural caffeine (equal to a cup of coffee), plus the ideal blend of plant-based protein, energy-enhancing fats and fiber-rich carbs slow the absorption of the caffeine, delivering a longer and more balanced energy.” In fact, each bar has as much protein as a whole egg (without the chicken torture yay!).
When Quantum wrote me about their new bars, I jumped on the chance to try them because my super-athletic soccer-obsessed brother is ALWAYS on the lookout for caffeinated snacks to have before practice. So I gave him a bunch of the bars and asked for his review: “Good. Shaved 30 seconds to a minute off my mile time.” Lulz, such a effing sports dweeb!
The bars are granola bar-y but more chewy than that. And like I said, they have the two flavors, but both my brother and I preferred the mocca macchiato one–it’s yummy! So, that’s what we’re giving away today.
Ok, GIVEAWAY TIME! We’re giving away a box (9 bars total!) of the caffe mocca macchiato bars to THREE winners!* To enter, follow Quantum Energy Squares on Instagram AND leave a comment on this post (on vegansaurus.com, not ig or facebook) saying what you would do with the extra boost of energy. We’ll pick three winners one week from today!
*US residents only, sorry other pals.
