nutritious junk

Its amazing how big Kashi has come. I remember when they first started making cereals and such when i was about 14. They only had a few cereals to their name then, but now, they make everything from granola bars, hot cereals, and even frozen entrees! Well i am going to review one of their first products which probably among their simplest products but according to me, probably one of their best nutrtionally and taste wise! Their puffed cereal is not airy like puffed rice or puffed wheat, and is definetly more filling. It has a denser texture than most puffed cereals and an interesting but yummy flavor. Its only 70 calories per cup with 1 gram of fiber, 0.5 grams of fat, and 0 grams of sugar (woo hoo). If your craving a sweeter cereal, i suggest blending in some splenda packets and a sprikling of cinnamon. Another cool feature to this cereal is that it doesn't deflate in milk! even corn flakes get soggy quickly, but these puffs hold up their crunch nicely when submerged in milk (or soy milk). I hope all these new kashi products won't inflate the ego of this seemingly down to earth company, cause their basic stuff, like their puffed cereal, is awesome all on its own!
