**** Kashi Cocoa Beach granola cereal
“Cocoa Beach™ granola is a sweet escape from the ordinary — seven whole grain clusters infused with natural cocoa and mixed with coconut and crunchy almonds for a heavenly retreat you’ll always come back to.”—Kashi web site
This is good stuff. I was coerced to try it by a funny review I spotted on the web. But it’s 230 calories per half-cup, not exactly low calorie, even though it’s got omega-3’s and fiber going for it. So I opted for a compromise, mixing it 1:2 with:
** Kashi 7 Whole Grain Puffs
“We think you’ll appreciate the distinctive taste and heartier texture of our puffs!”—Kashi web site
Utter nonsense. This stuff tastes like it’s something you’d pack delicate medical equipment in for shipping. Sure, it’s got good whole grains and is only 70 calories per cup… per dry tasteless cup.
The mix, however, is something palatable and worthwhile. I used a dot of fat free half and half. Made a custom ‘meal’ in DailyPlate for this combo.
Anyone else a breakfast mixologist?
