Kashi 7 Grain Breakfast Cereal



I am quite smitten with this product.  I use it like oatmeal or on salads with other seasonings.  It is high in fiber (6 grams per half cup) and very nutrient-dense.  I like to eat this mid-morning after drinking half of whatever green smoothie I have made.  Today I used it in the following way:

2 T. Organic Natural Peanut Butter
1 packet of stevia
a little bit of So Delicious Coconut Milk to taste
Sprinkle of cinnamon
Sprinkle of ground flax seed

Mix and enjoy!  You can also add chia seeds for additional fiber.  1/2 cup serving is 170 calories.  With peanut butter it is around 360.  Depending on what you add to it, it will probably be around 400 calories so it can be used as a breakfast or a fiber-dense snack.
