Kashi - Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bars — 

Well it's the time of the year when we want to eat healthier and I want to stay away from the vending machines at work that have tons of chocolate in them.  I didn't want to drewl on the machines so I chose to get my healthy favorite Kashi Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bars.  They have the crunch I need, nice and chewy and packed with flavor.

With whole, roasted almonds, succulent, sun-dried fruit, toasted sunflower seeds and a touch of wildflower honey. These are perfect for me and the trail Mix granola bars have 4g of Fiber and 6g of Protein. Two good things when you are watching your weight.

Ingredients:
Kashi Seven Whole Grains & Sesame®Blend (Whole: Hard Red Winter Wheat, Oats, Rye, Barley, Triticale (Triticale is a hybrid small grain produced by crossing wheat and rye), Long Grain Brown Rice, Buckwheat, Sesame Seeds), Whole Almonds, Brown Rice Syrup, Soy Protein Isolate, Evaporated Cane Juice Crystals, Soy Grits, Chicory Root Fiber, Raisins, Sunflower Seeds, Evaporated Cane Juice Syrup, Cranberries, Vegetable Glycerin, Corn Flour, Honey, Rice Starch, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Oat Fiber, Evaporated Salt, Natural Flavors, Molasses, Soy Lecithin, Peanut Flour, Whey, Annatto Color. (Annatto is It's a natural food coloring made from the ground up seed pods and adds color to cheese, butter, margarine, rice, smoked fish, and microwave popcorn. It is often used as a substitute for the expensive herb saffron). Please see Seed pod to the right).

Allergen Statement: CONTAINS WHEAT, ALMOND, SOY, PEANUT AND MILK INGREDIENTS. MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF OTHER TREE NUTS. Diabetic Exchange: 1 Carbohydrate, 1 Fat

140 calories per bar (oh relax, these are so filling you won't need to eye up the rest of the box to fill you up like other granola bars). Been there done that. There are six bars to a box. I will do one for breakfast and I am set till lunch which is a good thing because mornings are rough for me on snacking.  Nice little salad and if I get my hunger pains I will just pull out a Kashi Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bar and I am just fine till dinner, I won't be as hungry so I will eat a lighter dinner which I am sure the old hips are happy with that. 

Kashi Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bars have my vote when it comes to any granola bar because of all the whole grains and just the right amount of sweetness, they are wonderful tasting and filling...A good choice for me and a good tasting one too.
