Kashi - TLC variety Review

   I received my Kashi TLC Soft-Baked Snack Barfrom Vocalpoints in the mail a few days before Thanksgiving.

   The Kashi TLC Soft-Baked Snack Bar, also known as a Cereal Bar, is made with real fruit, has 7 whole grains and 3g of fiber. It comes in three flavors; Baked Apple Spice, Blackberry Graham and Ripe Strawberry. 25 of the 110 calorie snack comes from fat; 0 trans and 0 saturated, so what's left over are the good fats (mono and poly saturated). 0mg of cholesterol, 125mg of sodium, 9g of sugars, 2g of protein. This product contains wheat and soy ingredients. A box of 6 retails for around $2.50.

   I'm usually hesitant to try health bars because the majority of them that I have tried taste like tree bark. I'm also not the first to sample Kashi products because I find their cereals to be a bit bland and woodsy tasting. However, I am a health conscious mom, who's always looking for healthy alternative snacks for her child. So, when the Kashi TLC Soft-Baked Snack Bar in Blackberry Grahamarrived by mail, I handed the snack to my son to try. Seeing the fruit displayed cleverly in the middle, my son was more than willing to be a participant in taste testing. . . Boy, did he enjoy it! Finding myself curious, I asked him to break me off a piece and I was pleasantly surprised! Soft, moist, sweet and flavorful, the bar reminded me of Fig Newtons. The Kashi TLC Soft-Baked Snack Bar is a bit grainy, but I didn't mind, knowing grains are vital nutrients and the taste wasn't any more grainy than those Fig Newton cookies.

   Vocalpoint Members, if you haven't received yours already, keep a look out. I'm on my way to cash in my complimentary coupon for a free box. For those who want to get a box at a deal, there are many $2 off coupons for Kashi TLC Soft-Baked Snack Bars on-line.
