Kashi GOLEAN Waffles Review

Waffles are a delicious form of breakfast (or any other meal for that matter) but they are usually so rich that sometimes you end up feeling overly-sated and sleepy for a while afterward.  Now the famous Kashi Company has come up with a waffle we can feel good about eating ... Kashi GoLean Waffles.  These fresh warm breakfast goodies come in several flavors of which I chose Blueberry.  They pack the great nutritional punch found in Kashi cereals and deliver this in a product which fortifies and satisfies you for hours without putting your feet to sleep.  A six pack of these waffles is a bit expensive -- $3.99 -- but there is a great coupon out there online for $1.50 off.

TASTE TIP:

These waffles make a wonderful brunch.  Preparation instructions suggest toasting Kashi GoLean Blueberry Waffles but I like to microwave them for about a minute instead until they are still soft but warm enough to melt a thin spread of Promise Buttery Spread topped with fresh Michigan blueberries and some Froth au Lait Vanilla Syrup.  The perfect complement to the sweetness of this meal are three or four Jennie-O Mild Turkey Breakfast Sausages and a can of Campbell's Tomato Juice.
