Kashi generously sent me a free sample of their TLC trail mix chewy granola bar to try out. I usually don’t buy these things, though I should because they are quick, small, and easy on-the-go snacks that aren’t as heavy as a Clif Bar or Luna Bar (both of which I still love and eat all the time). I still have a bunch of Nutri-Grain bars I haven’t eaten – I got samples of them at a 5K I ran back in September. To me, they are really dry-ish tasting — too much processed bread-tasting and not enough fruity-filling-tasting. Which is why they are still sitting in the cabinet just waiting for when I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel and hungry for something.
I was excited to try the Kashi bar. I was hoping that it would be like eating a mini-Clif bar or something. It wasn’t. Not to say that it wasn’t good, but I expected the bar to taste sweeter than it was. I would definitely buy these for something quick and small to eat, but I’d be more prepared for the taste. Sometimes the other snack bars are too sweet, so having the Kashi bars around gives a good snack variety. They have other chewy granola bar flavors that I’d like to try that might be a little sweeter: cherry dark chocolate, dark mocha almond, honey almond flax, and peanut peanut butter. I’ll use my coupon on one of these other flavors!

I like the peanut butter ones
