Kashi® & Bear Naked® Review

Hey there friends! I just got the opportunity to review some new healthy products from Kashi® and Bear Naked® and agreed to share my thoughts with my readers. I already knew I liked some products from these companies (easy sell) and appreciate their use of natural and nutritious ingredients. Check it out!

Kashi®

Quick fact: Kashi® products are packed with whole grains and fiber and are “minimally processed, and free of highly refined sugars, artificial additives, and preservatives.” Wahoo!

Samples:

Heart to Heart Cereal, Honey Toasted Oat – I liked this cereal, but I had it with vanilla soy milk and it was a little too sweet for me. Next time I’d try it with plain soy milk or would mix the cereal into some plain yogurt. If you like a really crunchy cereal, this is a good one for you to try.

TLC Fruit & Grain Bars, Dark Chocolate Coconut – This snack bar had a layer of dark chocolate, coconut, and walnuts on the top. I wasn’t sure if I would like the coconut, but it was yummy to my surprise. The main portion of the bar was chewy granola, making it a filling snack.

Other Kashi® products I love (they didn’t send me these, but I wanted to recommend them):

GOLEAN® Blueberry Waffles – These frozen waffles are really tasty. I love the blueberry ones with a little almond butter or all natural peanut butter on top. My sister and I like to put two together like a sandwich and take it to-go, wrapped in a paper towel.

Cinnamon Harvest Cereal, Whole Wheat Biscuits – These are Kashi’s version of mini-wheats and they are so good. The cinnamon flavor is subtle but makes your milk taste so good. Plus, I love the simple ingredients: organic whole grain wheat, organic evaporated cane juice, organic cinnamon, natural cinnamon flavor. That’s it! My favorite cereal!

Bear Naked®

Quick fact: Their granolas, cereals, and granola bars “contain no preservatives and nothing artificial, and are free of trans fats, cholesterol, hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup.”

Samples:

Fruit and Nut Granola – While I love to make my own granola, this brand is a great option when you don’t have time to do your own. I loved the big pieces of nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) mixed with chunks of dried fruit (raisins, cranberries), seeds, and granola. Great to sprinkle on top of yogurt.

Cranberry Raisin Cereal - I enjoyed the taste of this cereal and it had a lot of variety of dried fruit and nuts added in. My only complaint was that it was really crunchy for me and almost hurt my teeth. I think it’s just a matter of preference because some people really love a crunchy cereal. I guess the granola products are my favorite when it comes to the Bear Naked® brand.
