nutritious junk

I appologize for the redundant cereal reviews, i promise i'll do other stuff not cereal related next time. But i had to post about Kashi Go Lean Crunch because they are giving it away on their site! MMMM....free food! but ya know, my soyjoy bars were free, and they tasted like clay, so i figured the company was desperate to get these gross things out there since their taste alone wouldn't do the trick. But no, Kashi people got the right idea, because one taste of this cereal, and yes, you actually would go out and buy it. Nutrtionally, its not terrible. A heavy 53 gram (1 cup) serving is 190 calories, 3 grams of fat (no saturated fat thank god), an impressive 9 grams of protien, and 8 grams of fiber. Pretty good, although the sugar content is a teeny bit high (13 grams) but its no where close to other conventional cereals out there. Plus, the protein and fiber content is so impressive, i am beginning to forgive the slightly high sugar. Anyhow, they taste just GREAT. its like their puffed kashi, only clustered and extra crunchy and sweet (dont worry, not too sweet). I could definetly eat this as a snack instead of popcorn or on top of yogurt or baked apples. Come to think of it, i really like the Kashi company, i haven't tried one of their cereals that didnt taste good. And when i heard they were giving out FREE cereal, i logged on right away and got my free box. Go get Go Lean Crunch!
