Student Saturday: Kashi Products

So, with one of my polls i learned that you guys would really like more tips for college students. That's a easy request for me, seeing as I'm a college student! :)

So, today I'm talking about Kashi products. Hopefully you guys know what company I'm talking about, seeing as i've mentioned them tons! They're a really great company, with alot of yummy and healthy food. This past weekend, I happened to run into them at the State College Arts Festival. They're currently on their "Real Tour" promoting their line of healthy food. (To see tour dates, and other info about what they're doing, click here: http://www.kashi.com/events/real_tour.)

I already love Kashi, so when i went into the tent, i'll admit it was because i was a little hungry....but i was very happy that i got to try some of their new cereals. 

I'm not someone that tries new cereals very often. I usually know what I like and can judge pretty accurately what i will and won't like. Kashi has this cereal called "Berry Blossom" and it resembles Captain Crunch, but to be honest I hate Captain Crunch, so I didn't have hopes for it. Plus, the idea of a berry-flavored cereal doesn't sound like something I would like. I was really surprised. It was amazing! So yummy, and way better than I expected. So I guess I learned not to judge a food before I try it. Haha.

Another cereal I thought was worth mentioning completely blew me away. "Cinnamon Harvest" looks like Mini-wheats without icing. While the texture was similar, the taste was incredibly different. To me it tasted like  a cinnamon bun! Bret, who is a die-hard fan of Life cereal, actually said he thought it was as good, if not better, than Life! I was looking on the site, and they have other flavors, like vanilla too. 

Kashi products mark themselves by having real ingredients. Real food, not unrecognizable chemicals and ingredients. I learned about how its not necessarily the calories that count, but what kind of calories it is. That makes complete sense, doesn't it?

Kashi products are widely available in stores, and on college campuses. Penn State, to name one, carries their cereals and granola bars in their stores on campus. I've also see it in the cafeteria as one of the morning cereal options. 

I left my blog URL on their bulletin board, and walked away with a box of cereal, and a gift bag with lots of healthy stuff :)

Kashi has lots of great options, for mornings, for snacks, and even for desserts (yummy cookies!). Definitely check them out if you haven't already!

I'm gonna go dive into a bowl of cereal. Yum! :)
