Review: Kashi Cereals have been my go-to dinner cereal for a while now. And despite recent developments I still plan to eat it (I feel ultimately defeated by trying to be healthy; it seems like everything could potentially have terrible future consequences, etc. and I'm going to try to make good decisions about my health, but I will not panic over this particular issue). I especially enjoy the GoLean Crisp (vs. the GoLean Crunch) because it has a good, crispy texture and doesn't feel like it is going to break my teeth. It doesn't get soggy easily, and the dried blueberries and cranberries add an intriguing texture. 

As you can see in the picture above, I enjoy it for breakfast (with plain yogurt, banana slices and strawberry slices) or, alternately below, for dinner (with banana slicer, strawberry slices, soy milk, and almond butter). 

I know that cereal for dinner sounds a little bit odd and collegey, and I think I'm going to try transitioning out of this habit, as I often crave WARM food, but it's just so easy and delicious. . .
