Review of 'GoGo Quinoa' Quinoa Cookies (Chocolate Chip)

GoGo Quinoa -- Quinoa Cookies (Chocolate Chip) (vegan)
Overall rating: 4/5
Summary: really nice and crunchy, very present cocoa flavour, mildly sweet, and great texture with quinoa grains, seeds, and chocolate chips. I feel like it doesn't quite hit my sweet tooth; I expected a bit more sweetness in a cookie and was disappointed. So, if you don't have a big sweet tooth like me, this is your cookie.

Where to buy: Fortinos, Battaglias (Mississauga), etc.

The nutritional profile is okay. For 160 calories, there's only 1g of fiber. I feel I can get more fiber and protein in a Luna Bar, which has similar calories and is sweeter ;) No cholesterol, low in fat, and pretty good on sugar count.

The ingredients are great, of course; organic and clean!
