By Summer:

My family had the opportunity to try Kashi GOLEAN Crisp! Cinnamon Crumble. I have to be honest I really didn’t try much as I’m trying to steer away from processed foods including cereals. Let me say however that my husband and sons are not on board with my crazy purchasing habits (though I do the shopping, so they have to deal with it!). The Kashi GOLEAN Crisp! Cinnamon Crumble was gone in only one week. My husband ate a bowl every morning for breakfast and my sons enjoyed it once or twice as a “second breakfast”. [Side note: Do you have little hobbits too, like Lord of the Rings? My sons like to have a breakfast, second breakfast, third breakfast, mid-morning snack, and mid-morning teatime all before lunch!] Needless to say, they all liked it.

Cinnamon Crumble is a new flavor for the Kashi GOLEAN Crisp! line which offers “naturally sweetened multigrain clusters” with 10 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, and 20 grams of whole grain per serving so “you stay fuller longer”. With this you also get 10 grams of sugar per serving; a serving is ¾ cup and with 15 ounces per box there are about 8 servings per container. The ingredients consist of whole grain oats, evaporated can juice crystals, soy protein concentrate, wheat sticks (whole wheat flour, Kashi seven whole grains and sesame flour [whole: oats, hard red wheat, rye, brown rice, triticale, barley, buckwheat, sesame seeds], calcium carbonate), brown rice syrup, chicory root fiber, soy grits, expeller pressed canola oil, yellow corn flour, soy protein isolate, cinnamon, oat fiber, baking soda, natural flavor, evaporated salt, mixed tocopherols for freshness, soy lecithin.

If you’re a person on the go and don’t have time to make a whole foods breakfast then an option such as the Kashi GOLEAN Crisp! Cinnamon Crumble is a great “grab and go” choice compared to scrambling eggs with diced vegetables, or making oatmeal or granola. Kashi is a better brand than General Mills or Kellogg with their Frosted Flakes and Lucky Charms! I also like Nature’s Path Organics.

If you’re not familiar with Kashi you can find out more about them on their website and even join their communications list to receive coupons, recipes, newsletters, as well as to stay connected with others. You can also follow Kashi on Facebook.
