Living Outside the Stacks

At the beginning of the month I started an exercise program in an effort to lose a little weight. As part of that program, I’m always on the look out for healthy snacks that I can munch on during the day ~ gotta stay away from the candy bars and all that other fattening stuff, know what I mean? As far as snack foods go, I really only have two requirements:

~ Nothing too high in calories
~ It cannot taste like cardboard

So when I received my Kashi TLC Chewy Trail Mix Granola Bar, I was a little skeptical… I mean, I like trail mix. No, scratch that, I love trail mix but this bar looked a little, um, “grainy.”

I was in for a tasty surprise! Made of 7 whole grains, ripe cranberries, plump raisins, toasty almonds and sweetened with a touch of honey, that little bar was both delicious and filling. Yum! Furthermore, it’s only a 140 calories with 3g of fiber and 6g of protein.

I like that I can just pop it in my purse and go, no grabbing unhealthy snacks from the vending machines or buying a candy bar at the check out line. If you’d like to try a free sample, just click here and pick the Kashi product you’d like to try.

Disclosure: I received the Kashi TLC Chewy Trail Mix Granola Bar as part of Kashi’s free trial program
