Kashi Introduces New Gluten-Free Cereals

With all of my various food sensitivities, I’m often challenged with time to cook and bake meals that I am able to eat. I can’t just grab a few slices of bacon or gluten, dairy and egg free pancakes for breakfast. It takes planning!

I’m thrilled that I can reach for a bowl of cereal as an option now that Kashi has introduced new cereals that are gluten-free, certified organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified! This is fabulous news for someone like me who is sensitive to so many ingredients.

Kashi Organic Promise Simply Maize cereal is made with whole organic corn in crispy flakes while Kashi Organic Promise Indigo Morning cereal combines a delicious blend of puffed golden corn flakes with real blueberries and blackberries for a tangy sweet flavour.

The cereal is really tasty, like a treat – just a little bit of sweetness, made with organic dried cane syrup.  You really could have a serving just as a snack.

Kashi’s new line of cereals and snack bars also feature nutritious ingredients such as chia and flax seeds – superfoods with many benefits. The new Kashi Chia Granola Bars are available in Cranberry Lemon and Dark Chocolate, Almond & Sea Salt flavours and have 4g of fibre per 35g bar.  My husband tried and enjoyed both granola bar flavours and said they tasted chewy yet crunchy and had a nice texture.

The benefits of chia are also coming to the cereal aisle with the introduction of new Kashi Nutty Chia Flax Multigrain cereal. It has a nutty flavour, light crunch and perfect blend of chia, flax and walnuts, a yummy way to start your morning.  Each ¾ cup delivers a source of Omega-3 polyunsaturates and 5g of fibre, a great boost to your day.

I’m very happy that Kashi has 11 products that have the Non-GMO Project Verification! By the end of 2015 more than half of their products will also be non-GMO. Kashi is moving towards the use of organic and non-GMO ingredients where possible, and is committed to have all of their products non-GMO.

Do you eat cereal? Have you tried chia and flax seeds?
