New Kashi Granola Cereal: Yum!

You know I love Kashi! I've told you about their Chewy Granola Bars, their TLC Crackers, and their tasty Frozen Entrées. Now they're making deliciously satisfying and flavorful granola cereals too! Each serving of the cereal provides an excellent source of fiber, delivers powerful nutrition with 300 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids and offers over 2 full servings of whole grains.

Why are whole grains so important for women? A recent study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association shows that people who ate 2 1/2 servings of whole grains a day had a 21% lower risk of developing heart disease. Cardiovascular health is an important topic for women of all ages -- According to the GoRedforWomen campaign, heart disease is still the number one killer among women.

Taste	A delicious apple pie taste, with a sweet honey, cinnamon and nutmeg flavor; real pieces of dried apples, pecans, and raisins; great texture - perfectly crunchy and it even has whole flax seeds.	Reminded me of pancakes and syrup, has a warm maple syrup flavor; can see pieces of sliced almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and raisins; perfect mix of chewy fruit with crunchy oats and nuts.

This granola has 7 whole grains and sesame just like all the other Kashi products so it's healthy for you, but it also tastes as sweet as home baked bread or oatmeal cookies. Look for it at a store near you and pick up a box (or two). If you've already tried it, tell me your opinion in the comments section below.
