Kashi TLC Trail Mix


From my experience with their products, Kashi can do no wrong. Their bars are mostly made with healthy and natural ingredients but still taste amazing. Their Trail Mix TLC bar is no exception, and rivals Peanut Peanut Butter as my favorite. I love how you get giant chunks of nuts (almonds in this case) instead of the barely noticeable shavings in other granola bars. The cranberries and raisins also add some sweetness that the two other flavors didn’t have (even if most of them were on one end). Overall this (and all the other Kashi TLC bars) are a great choice for a quick snack.

Kashi TLC Honey Almond Flax

I can’t really complain about the taste of this bar because it pretty much tasted like the name describes it. With that being said, it’s a pretty boring granola bar. It tastes like oats and almonds with a hint of honey, and “healthy” is the best way I could really describe the the taste. I’d rather have the peanut butter version, if only because it has a more distinct flavor.

Kashi TLC Peanut Peanut Butter


Welcome to the first StartingHealthy review! This one is on Kashi’s chewy granola bar line, called TLC. They’re available at almost any grocery store and are a bit pricier than Fiber One bars, but about the same as other “organic” granola bars.

The one I had today happens to also be my favorite, the Peanut Peanut Butter flavor. The “butter” in the title is a bit misleading, since this doesn’t really taste like all the other peanut butter products on the market, but more like raw peanuts. If you’re fine with that, it’s definitely worth a try. The bar itself is pretty chewy, enough to hold it together without too much crumbling as you eat it. It’s a decent size for the 140 calories it has, and it held me over for 1.5 to 2 hours. Overall, this is a great snack for when you’re on the go between meals, the only thing I didn’t like was that it seemed to stick to my teeth a lot.
