Kashi is doing another free sample promotion to receive one of their 1oz Oatmeal Dark Chocolate cookies for free. I submitted my info for one about two weeks ago and my cookie showed up yesterday.
It’s definitely a “health food” cookie! Though it’s not dense or overly-chewy like a lot of health bars are, it’s also not a cookie with a whole lot of sugar in it, so you can really taste the seven whole grains that it boasts (”hard red winter wheat, oats, rye, triticale, barley, long grain brown rice, buckwheat and sesame seeds”), the dark chocolate chips and the whole rolled oats.
I was, of course, happy to see how many chocolate chips it had! I think since they’re using dark chocolate, which has some health benefits, they went for broke and loaded the puppy up. Though they weren’t huge, it was good, quality chocolate and a nice subtle “surprise” amidst a whole lot of other healthy tastes (not that that’s a bad thing!).
Overall, I liked it! The first bite, as with a lot of healthy snacks, was a little off-putting, but I think I would buy some to keep on hand when I feel like a non-sugar-laden snack. Go get your free cookie and see what you think!
I got my cookie a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. I am not a big fan of Kashi’s cereals – to me they taste like bland cardboard, but this Oatmeal Dark Chocolate cookie was terrific. I would definitely buy these.
I bought some of these at my local grocery store and had 3 today that i packed for lunch, i think they were pretty bad and the sugar tatse in them almost tasted like and artificial sweetener.
Hey, I really enjoied the very fist issue of your Kashi proucts. I really noticed a difference in my changing eating habits. I look better and all of my friends and family noticed it as well. I really couldn’t wait to try the newest member of the Kashi snack family. I first tried the Kashi fruit bars, when I got my free samples when they came in the mail. They were the best low fat snack bar i have ever had on my taste buds (no really). But I just thoght to let you know so far Kashi products will always have my vote on the best of snack bars. thank you very much!
