Remember when I swore off processed foods like cereals, granola bars and protein bars?
Well, I did. I said I would avoid boxed cereals and manufactured bars.
The truth is sometimes I need something sweet and sometimes an apple or another piece of fruit doesn’t curb the cravings, but I don’t want to splurge for the empty calories in a candy bar. Sometimes I need something that clings to my ribs with a bit more sustenance and real ingredients. Sometimes I crave foods with crunch.
That’s where Kashi Crunchy Granola and Seed Bars come into play to help curb those cravings while nourish your body with whole grain goodness.
The new Kashi Crunchy Granola and Seed Bars deliver a blend of progressive and unique ingredients and come in two tasty flavors: Honey Oat Flax and Chocolate Chip Chia.
With the start of new calendar year, we all make resolutions to eat better and live better, however, our bodies go into sugar withdrawal from months of poor eating habits. Kashi Crunchy Granola and Seed Bars help transition our bodies from sugar addicts into healthy snack habits.
Although my bars arrived crushed, I could still enjoy the sweetness and crunch of these crunchy bars. The bars are thin and light with just the right amount of sweetness. since I am recovering chocoholic, the chocolate chip bars were my favorite.
The bars reminded me of old fashioned granola bars before the days of high fructose corn syrup. Sweetened with dried cane sugar and molasses, Kashi Crunchy Granola and Seed Bars are packed with whole grains such as flax, chia and quinoa, also known as “superfoods” and the best fuel for runners. I found the bars fit perfectly in my fuel belt and served as great snacks during a long run or a light breakfast to nourish my body before a long run.
The Chocolate Chip Chia Crunchy Granola and Seed Bars deliver 320mg of ALA omega 3’s, 3g fiber and 23g whole grains and the Honey Oat Flax Crunchy Granola and Seed Bars deliver 320mg of ALA omega 3’s, 3g fiber and 25g whole grains.
All those omegas and whole grain goodness with a touch of sweetness provide nutrients to my three children and saves me from having to force-feed my family awful tasting supplements.
But don’t tell my kids or my husband that these crunchy, tasty bars are healthy!
