We made it- FRIDAY! I feel like I’ve been a bit mixed up this week, but now with the weekend ahead, I feel relaxed and ready to enjoy it. And what better way to celebrate the weekend then with quinoa?!

…most awkward transition ever.

Oh well, now that we’re here, let me tell you about Urbane Grain. They are a small company that contacted me asking if I’d like to try their quinoa blends (quinoa, millet, brown rice- all good stuff). Like everything I get contacted about, I looked into exactly what the product is. I found out…

  • Urbane Grain is made with organic quinoa and organic millet
  • It is gluten free
  • No crazy, scientific ingredients
  • The products are restaurant quality

Wait. What does restaurant quality even mean? They actually explain that here, but basically this isn’t your everyday grain blend. Instead they use high quality ingredients and offer unique flavors.

Urbane Grain Giveaway- miso with edamame and scallions

Miso with Edamame and Scallion? Awesome.

Urbane Grain Giveaway- Indian COconut curry

Indian Coconut Curry? Just try finding that next to the brown rice.

Not only is quinoa a complete protein and deemed a super food, it also cooks up a lot faster than brown rice, making it a great last minute side dish addition.

Urbane Grain makes it simple. Mix, boil, simmer, serve.

Urbane Grain Giveaway- easy stovetop preparation

BUT, in the words of Reading Rainbow, don’t take my word for it. You can try it yourself.

One of you guys will win an 8 pack of Urbane Grain products.

Urbane Grain Giveaway- 8 pack

  • 2 pouches of Indian Coconut Curry
  • 2 pouches of Miso with Edamame and Scallions
  • 2 pouches of Three Cheese and Mushroom
  • 2 pouches of Sundried Tomato and Basil

To enter, leave a comment telling me what flavor you’d most like to try!
For an additional entry, tweet “I want to try the amazing flavors of @UrbaneGrain from @Ahealthyslice” and leave a comment saying you did.

Contest ends Sunday at midnight and winner will be announced Monday.

Have a great weekend!

    Quinoa is something new for me. I have pinned several recipes and have made Buffalo Chicken Quinoa and Cheese. It was to die for and my entire family loved it. The flavor I am most interested in trying is Miso with Edamame and Scallion. The pairing with the quinoa sounds wonderful.

  2. Kathy says

    I am a huge fan of quinoa especially thanks to you and your great instructions on how to prepare. I love it!! I think I would like to try the Miso with Edamame and Scallions. Have a great weekend!

  4. Noora says

    Either the coconut curry or the sundried tomato one.. Hmm.. They all sound so delicious, if I don’t win I’m definitely going to try recreating the flavors myself (failing miserably)

  11. Ana says

    Wow, never seen these but they sound delicious! I will look for them at the grocery store for sure.
    I would love to try the Indian Coconut Curry, sounds too good!
    Ana

  14. Sara says

    Three cheese and mushroom, but seriously, all the flavors look amazing. Quinoa is consumed in my house almost daily, I need to find if they sell this brand near me!

  15. Kristen P. says

    Wow these all sound amazing! What a great company/product. I think the Miso Edamame sounds the most interesting and could make a quick little Asian themed dinner in no time!

  17. Erin says

    What a great giveaway! Quinoa is definitely a staple in our household, so I’d love to try the miso edamame, but they all sound delicious!!

  19. Amy says

    I always struggle with what sauce to put on quinoa. This product solves that problem – I would love to try them all especially the Indion Coconut Curry!

  23. Andrea says

    I have to pick ONE flavor? They all sound delicious! But I’d have to give the Miso w/Edamame and Scallion a try as that is out of my cooking comfort zone. Never used miso in my life (not even sure I know what it is). 🙂

  24. Holly says

    I am a lover of all things tomato- so the Sundried Tomato and Basil sounds right up my alley (although they ALL sound delicious)! Can I get extra points for being 3 weeks out from my due date and wanting lots of “easy” meals on hand? Wink wink?

  25. Christina says

    Sundried tomato and basil sounds amazing! I think even my non-quinoa-loving husband would like that!

  27. Rebecca B. says

    These look delicious! I love all things tomato basil, so that’s the one I’d like to try the most.

  31. Ashley says

    Those all sound delicious! I haven’t had flavored quinoa yet. But I love the that it’s GF and loaded with protein. I think I’d be torn b/t 2 favorites…the curry one and the 3 cheese with mushrooms. Chana masala and curry quinoa sounds like a pretty good vegetarian meal. But so does grilled chicken with 3 cheese and mushroom quinoa. 🙂

  32. Dana says

    I love quinoa and I’m trying to eat less meat (half financial reasons, half health-related reasons) so quinoa is a great source of protein.
    And I love Indian flavors, so I’m all about trying the Indian Coconut Curry.

  37. Krista says

    I would have to try the Sundried Tomato and Basil because I think my family would enjoy that one the most! All are very tempting though.

  38. Kristen says

    I like quinoa and this would be so easy. Already seasoned and not have to worry about what to mix it with sounds like a winner. I would try the three cheese and mushroom one first.

  41. Brittney says

    Oooh, I love quinoa! They all sound awesome, but probably the three cheese and mushroom would make my husband the most happy, so I’d pick that one first!

  42. April says

    I love quinoa and I am trying to get my almost 9 month old interested too! I would love to try the miso and edamane version.

  44. Muna says

    I would like to try the Indian coconut curry. I have made quinoa with Mexican and Asian flavors and inspite of being Indian i have never attempted quinoa in Indian cooking. I guess I always thought would be an odd combination or maybe i wasnt brave enough 😉 but this sounds good and can’t wait to try it!

  45. Paulina says

    These all sound delicious! Confession…I’ve never tried quinoa before. It’s been on my list to try for so long, but I keep forgetting to buy some. Tomato and basil sounds yummy.

  46. Chrissy says

    I just started experimenting with quinoa – I think they all sound delicious, but the tomato basil would probably be my first pick!

  48. Beth says

    Indian Coconut Curry! Ben and I are always looking for a good side for Indian flavors. It sounds great!

  54. Mallory says

    I have never tried quinoa in my entire life…then again I live in south alabama so its not very typical around here. love your website! I want to try three cheese and mushroom! nothing beats cheese…

  62. Ashleigh V. says

    OMG great giveaway! Its tie between the miso/edamame/ scallion and the cheese/mushroom flavors for me. But they all sound yummy!

  64. Britt says

    Man that’s a tough choice, but I think the Miso with Edamame and Scallions is speaking to me the loudest!

  66. Staci says

    I would love to try the three cheese and mushroom, it sounds very different and incredibly amazing!!!!!

  71. Stefanie says

    Wow, the Miso with Edamame and Scallions sounds awesome.

    How do they stack up in the sodium content category? I usually avoid pouch mixes because the sodium content can get a little crazy… just curious 🙂

  72. Ann says

    I want to try them all!! I loooove quinoa but usually just cook it with a bouillion cube when making it as a simple side dish. These flavors would be a welcome change of pace! The miso and the curry sound so interesting, but so does the mushroom…and tomato basil is always good… guess I need to try them all:)

  74. Erika says

    They all sound tasty but I would really like to try the sundried tomato and basil – sounds delish!

    Happy weekend!!

  78. Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers says

    Great giveaway – I’d love to try the miso one the most, though they all sound delicious.

  79. Mrs. D says

    I would love to try any of them but my top 2 are definitley the 3 cheese and mushroom or tom. basil! YUM!!

    and I tweeted!!

  80. Annie says

    Wow – that is most unlike any quinoa pack I have ever seen!

    I would LOVE to try the sundried tomatoes and basil.

  81. Monica says

    If it were just up to me, I would want to try the Curry one! My husband wouldn’t be impressed, however. Too bad for him. 🙂

  84. Kristin S. says

    3 cheese and mushroom! Oh my gosh sounds so good. Maybe it would actually get my husband to eat it:)

  86. Rebecca says

    Sundried Tomato and Basil is definitely one of my favorite flavor combinations!!

    P.S. Love the reading rainbow quote! 🙂

  93. Lauren @ The Unlikely Runners says

    Hi! New here and love your blog! I would love to try the Miso with Edamame and scallions blend, it looks wonderful!

  107. Ashley says

    I would love to try the miso with edamame and scallions. Sounds delicious to me, and my 11-month old strangely loves miso soup so I am sure she would love it, too! We love quinoa! 🙂

  109. kristin says

    It’s a tough toss up between Indian Coconut Curry
    and Miso with Edamame and Scallions but if I had to choose i’d have to say the Coconut Curry one! I love quinoa so much and I love how these are GF!

  112. Kelly Z says

    Hmmmmm I can’t choose! 3 Cheese and mushroom would definitely be awesome but I love edamame! I definitely want to try them all!

  116. Giselle@ahealthyhappyhome says

    I love quiona and these sound delicious! I think I would like to try all of them but the sundried tomato basil sounds super yummy!

  122. Emily says

    All of them. Quinoa is sonething I want to try but don’t know how or what to do first. This would make me try all a variety of ways. 🙂

  131. Carolyn says

    the indian coconut curry sounds very intriguing…I’d love to try it! they sound like super simple meals – great for the dorm. I also loved the reading rainbow reference – I used to watch that ALL the time 🙂 yay for public television!

  145. Pam says

    I want to try them all! I’m in love with quinoa! Even my super picky husband who only likes potatoes likes it! So you know it must be good!
