Kashi TLC granola bars Review

Bottom-Line: Not my first choice, but I am willing to give them another try, with coupon in hand of course.

I like to snack; who doesn't?  But lately I have been trying to snack more wisely and that means fruit or some form of granola bar that uses who grains and is relatively low in sugar.  Recently, whilst shopping at my local Super Target, I gathered up coupons for Kashi TLC Chewy Granola Bars at a taste test stand, and decided to give them a try. 

My Viewpoint

I like Kashi TLC Chewy Granola Bars, but just barely.  Checking in at around 120 calories, around 4 grams of fiber, 5 grams of fat, and 5 grams of protein per bar, Kashi TLC Granola Bars do make for a light good-for-you snack, but the bars are somewhat lacking in taste.  Unlike some of the varieties I have tasted from Quaker, the Kashi TLC Granola Bars failed to really satisfy my taste buds, or put a smile on my face. 

The Kashi TLC Chewy Granola Bars do contain the company's trade mark "seven whole grains on a mission" as well as sesame seeds. The Kashi TLC Chewy Granola Bars is not oats and brown sugar, like many other granola bars (re: Nature Valley). Instead, the Kashi TLC Chewy Granola Bar contains Hard Red Winter Wheat, Oatsm Rye, Barley, Triticale, Long Grained Brown Rice, Buckwheat, and Sesame Seeds; i.e. "seven whole grains on a mission".     

These seven whole grains no doubt account for the granola bars unique taste and take some getting used to.  Will I try Kashi TLC Chewy Granola Bars again?  All things being equal I do prefer Quaker, but if given another coupon and a sale, the Kashi bars just might find a place in my cart once more.
