Spotlight: Kashi
Brand Spotlight: “Kashi™: Seven Whole Grains on a Mission™”
Today’s spotlight is on the company Kashi, producer of many nutritious, great-tasting snacks and meals that suit the vegetarian lifestyle very well. A personal favorite, I have found Kashi’s products to be a staple in my diet and am sure that many vegetarians would find (if not already) that this company is a reliable and indispensable source of healthy and tasty food.
To take a closer look at Kashi, VegLiving’s Spotlight will focus on three of the following each: positives, drawbacks, and notable products. For future company Spotlights, a format similar to this will be used.
Note: These Spotlights are focused on high-quality companies and the drawbacks are listed to inform readers; still keep in mind, however, that the company being described deserves to be addressed with merit.
.
I. Positives
1. Kashi’s product line consists mostly of vegetarian options that are full of the always-included nutritious whole grains as well as healthy omega fats and a significant fiber and protein source.
2. Considering the exclusive status of many “health-food” brands, Kashi products can be commonly found (I’ve seen them in gas stations, convenience stores, even snack bars) and are available at a relatively fair price.
3. Their large range of healthy products, from cereals to frozen foods, tastes great! Your body will thank you.
.
II. Drawbacks
1. Kashi’s products are not in total all-vegetarian; some denoted may include chicken or other animal products.
2. Though only all-natural ingredients are used, Kashi does not offer (m?)any certified-organic products.
3. …um…there might be a small level of addiction to their foods 😉 ~
.
III. Notable Products
1. Kashi’s GoLean product line includes a variety of hot and cold cereals, snack bars, waffles and protein shakes. These excellent foods have been designed to help keep energized and provide a easy, on-the-go snack that satisfies with great taste and great nutrition. I heartily recommend the cereals “GoLean” and “GoLean Crunch” as part of breakfast or snack (see post here). Additionally, the snack bars and great to accompany lunch or to bring along for a bite.
2. The Heart-to-Heart line, though smaller, also includes some wonderful hot and cold cereals and waffles. What is notable about Heart-to-Heart is that the products all specifically include the positive nutrients and exclude the negative ingredients to support a healthy heart and therefore a healthy body. Favorite here is “Heart-to-Heart” cold cereal (it’s evident that I’m a cereal fan). Never tried the waffles but they look great!
3. For those who like a quick meal or snack that can be prepared with ease, the Kashi line of frozen foods is perfect. The great taste and nutrition of Kashi’s products with the ease of preparation that many need for a busy, on-the-go vegetarian lifestyle.
.
Kashi’s products are the perfect addition to any vegetarian’s meals and snacks and hopefully readers will find this a great resource to look into for great-tasting, healthy foods! Enjoy.

Be well,
