Ingesting a combination of simple and complex carbohydrates 20 to 25 minutes before a workout provides enough time to raise blood sugar levels so your body can start using the fuel for its energizing benefits.
Soak quinoa for one hour then rinse and set aside to sprout until the next day (you can use after soaking only, but there are even more benefits from sprouting)

In a food possessor, mix all ingredients together then empty onto a baking sheet. Flatten and cut into five equally sized bars.
For an on-the-go option, wrap the bars one by one in wax paper or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for future use.
