Kashi says: With whole, roasted almonds, a healthy sprinkling of flax seeds and a touch of wildflower honey, our Honey Almond Flax granola bars have 4g of Fiber, 7g of Protein and 300mg Omega-3s.

We say: Kashi’s Almond Flax Granola Bars taste healthy. And by that we mean that they don’t taste particularly fantastic. They don’t taste bad, but they do bear a resemblance to something you’d find in a health store in the 80’s. So if you’re in the mood for martyrdom, Kashi’s got you covered.

These consist of assorted grains and nuts, with red winter wheat being the main contender. There’s also an occasional whole almond. Oh, and jaw-cracking hardness. In an effort to remedy this situation, we left a box of the bars in a hot car for a few hours. This did nothing to alleviate the hardness issue, leaving us stuck with a box of super-hot and still-hard granola bars.

If you’re desperate for something fiberrific and protein-containing, then you could eat these. Or, you could have a Nature Valley granola bar plus some fruit leather. Those snacks combined would be significantly more satisfying than one of these bars and you won’t have to worry about cracking a tooth.
