Kashi Trail Mix Granola Bar (chewy)

Just ate one of these bad boys.  Kashi tends to do well when it sticks to its bread and butter, whole grain cereals and bars - we'll talk about their horrendous frozen dinners another day.  This bar is pretty filling if you're on the go, however I am not on the go at the moment and am going to make a bacon, egg and cheese bagel.

Anyways, this bar is advertised as having the Seven Whole Grains, roasted nuts, sun-dried fruit (really?), and "a touch of wildflower honey", whatever that is.  A little vague for a company so bent on ingredients.  This bar is pretty good though, although a little dry and airy.

The health factor?  The bar is 140 calories, has 5 grams of fat which is a little high but you could do much worse, 6g protein and 4g of fiber.  Lots of random ingredients which I won't go into here, but they all seem natural.

Why did I buy this? It was on sale at Target.  $2.50 I believe for a box of 6.  Not bad for a 42 cent breakfast.

Price:  7 (on sale)
Quality:  7
Packaging:  6 (little tough to open)
Health Factor:  7
Smart Buy?  Eh, when it's on sale.  Granola bars in general are smart buys for cheap breakfast!
