Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat

I picked this up along with my Kashi Honey Almond Flax the other day because I wanted to mix things up to make my breakfast more exciting. I tried it out by itself this morning and it was amazing. And I can't believe how filling it is. I ate 3/4 of a cup plus 1/4 cup of 1% milk and it lasted me for 2.5 hours. 3/4 of a cup is only 110 calories and it already has 5g of fiber. Love how they have little heart shapes in the cereal too, makes it so cute. I have a new found appreciation for cereal now. So versitle and so good. I can eat it normally with milk, I can eat it dry as a snack, I can sprinkle some in my yogurts and I can even sprinkle some on top of my oatmeals. Need to stock up on more since they are on sale at Vons right now.

Kashi GoLean Crunch: Honey Almond Flax

My second Kashi item. Yay! There were many Kashi cereal varieties to choose from, but I finally settled for the GoLean Crunch in Honey Almond Flax. Looking at the nutritional label, it kind of scared me because a serving is 200 calories, but then I realized that it is for 1 cup, not the usual 3/4 of a cup. I figured the extra calories are worth it if I am feeding my body with something that has high nutritional value. On the box, the clusters looked like granola to me, but they are actually multigrain cluster. I love how they have some "corn puff" type mix to their texture and the natural sweetness of everything. With 500 mg of omega-3, 9 grams of protein, and 8 gram of fiber, this cereal is packed with a lot of goodies and is really filling. I like to eat my cereal dry because I don't like soggy cereal, so my only complaint about this is that sometimes the clusters are too hard so it I have to chew it really hard. Hurts my teeth sometimes. I might try this with milk tomorrow just to see if I like it better that way. Nothing like a good nutritional breakfast to start off a day. I think it's time for me to move on from my Cheerios and Special K days.

Edit: I tried it out with milk this morning and the cereal did become softer to the chew, but not soggy like other cereals. I poured myself 1 cup of Kashi plus 1/4 cup milk and had a really hard time finishing it because it was so filling.

Trader Joe's High Fiber Cereal

Another part of my Trader Joe grocery haul from earlier this week. I just didn't get a chance to try it because I wanted to finish off my other food before opening up something new. This high fiber cereal looks much like a smaller version of those "Chinese Crispy Noodles" that you make haystacks with. I probably won't be eating this as a cereal, more like an add-in to my plain yogurts and oatmeal to bulk things up. Each serving is 3/4 of a cup or about 30 grams and it has 80 calories and 9 grams of fiber and 1 WW point. At the rate of me eating this, the box is going to last me forever.
