Kashi Granola Bar Review
I was fortunate enough to get to sample Kashi Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bars (say that three times fast) . Awhile back I was accepted into the Moms Meet program and occasionally I am chosen to try some fun products. I share them with my group, and then am sometimes asked to summarize what we thought on my blog.
Here is what Moms Meet has to say about the new bars, “Looking for a good-for-you granola bar that also tastes good? Kashi’s all natural TLC® Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bars start with a chewy granola base made with peanut butter and peanut chunks for a nutty flavor. A thick layer of real soft fruit mixed with rich, dark chocolate tops the granola along with roasted runner peanuts and dark chocolate pieces for hearty, natural goodness you can see and taste. And they’re nutritious, too!”
When the box came in the mail we were holding our big garage sale. I was stoked! The kids were just getting up from their naps and they saw the box. They asked if they could try them and we handed them each a bar and sat them on the chair. They sat in perfect silence while they chowed every last speck. I was actually surprised at how focused they were on the bars. When strangers are waltzing around your front yard and taking away your beloved possessions the last thing I expected was them to calmly sit and focus on a snack. They LOVED them and have asked for them many times since.
The main purpose of the sampling is for me to share them with a group I meet with who are interested in natural/green products. This totally fits with the interests of the girls in my Bible Study and so when I get a package from Moms Meet I always take the goodies along.
Here is what one of my friends thought of the bars:
“The texture/consistency was perfect. Chewy, but not gooey. I also thought the flavor had good balance between the chocolate and the peanuts. I am not a big peanut fan, but I did enjoy these.”
If you are interested in any of their products you can check out Kashi’s website.

High Point/Low Point
High point of the day…
While talking on an ancient cell phone in the play area I overhear Little Miss saying, “Hi Jesus, thank you for giving me the bestest mom ever!”
Low point of the day…
Frustrated with me I hear Little Miss mumble, “Mommy you are not a genius.”
