I’m a big fan of Kashi, so I’ve hung out on their Web site a bit. One of the good things that comes from this is they often send me coupons and free samples! (And not because I am a blogger…because I love free food. Seriously check it out!)
The other day I got a free sample of their latest addition to the Heart to Heart crew: Warm Cinnamon!
I’m not a big cereal person just because cereal is one of those foods I can eat and eat…and eat. That makes it a bad snack option for me…and when it comes to breakfast, there are just things I prefer over cereal.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t crush a bowl when I want to!
I made this for a bedtime snack a couple nights ago, and I actually took a bite and exclaimed, “Oh, wow!” I was really surprised by how warm and rich the cinnamon flavor was. It was damn good. In my next bite I realized it was like Apple Jacks…if Apple Jacks married rich and got highlights and spent two weeks at a spa in Arizona. The flavor is just really rich and smooth.
The stats are good too…
I mean, it has a shit-ton of ingredients toward the end there, but it’s not the worst ingredients. And not only are they are healthy, they are heart-shaped, soooo…as far as cereals go, I’ll support!

I am actually awaiting my free sample in the mail as I type this out.
Now I really can’t wait for it show up in the mail

I’ve found that only their Go Lean! line really fills me up, but their other cereals are delicious, too.
I thought the same thing the first time I tried these – healthy Apple Jacks! Score!

I got my sample too, although I’ve already gotten a couple boxes of it. It rocks w/ plain greek yogurt & almond butter!!
I’ll definitely have to try it on Greek yogurt because I prefer to eat cereal that way! Something about having it on milk turns me into a bottomless pit!!
I got a sample of that too! I haven’t tried it yet though…saving it for a special occasion??? I don’t know haha. I could pretty much be a Kashi representative, I love ALL their products especially the frozen dinners (Mayan Harvest sweet potato thing is to die for) I love how they use real ingredients, like how they colored this cereal with turmeric!
I loved the turmeric thing too!
i love the free kashi samples! it’s like a little present when it comes to the door. i can’t eat cereal for a meal, though. it’s like water to me.

.-= Abby´s last blog ..I HAVE MOVED =-.
I’m not a big ceral fan, but that looks and sounds good. I am a BIG kashi fan. I will have to check out their website.
.-= Angela @ A Healthy Fit´s last blog ..If I didn’t already love hummus enough =-.
I like Teri’s description of “healthy apple jacks”! I love apple jacks…not that I eat them any longer, because I’m all “healthy” now.
.-= Melissa (It’s a Veggieful Life)´s last blog ..I Like Meat. There, I’ve Said It! =-.
I have the SAME problem with cereal and milk, somehow not with yogurt! Im excited to try these though, I just ran out of the sunshine squares, or whatever they’re called!
hmmmm Kashi! I love those cereals!!! And their granola bars.
I must say I am disappointed I can’t find those here in the Uk…
