I only had Kashi snack bars a couple of times, but those few were enough to make me want more. The company also makes cereals, pizzas, and other foods, and the website has recipes for things like pancakes made with Kashi oatmeal. Here is a bit of history from the website:
Wellness isn’t a race—it’s a journey. And every day is an opportunity to live life a little healthier than the day before. We truly believe when we eat well, we feel well.
The Kashi Company was created in 1984 with that heartfelt belief in mind. With much enthusiasm and optimism we introduced our special blend of Seven Whole Grains and Sesame in the form of Kashi Pilaf. The response was, well, lack luster. People weren’t motivated to stand over a stove cooking whole grains for 25 minutes. That only inspired us to work harder. And our determination paid off. It wasn’t long before Kashi’s whole grain mix began appearing around the country, including an appearance at the breakfast tables of the 1984 Olympic Athletes.
Two decades later Kashi’s founding principle is still our guiding light. And now we have over 50 products to show for it. And we’re not stopping here. We continue to search for new ingredients, exciting flavor combinations, and new ways to make great tasting naturally nutritious foods.
“Made from the heart of Hawaii” is the slogan of Hawaii’s Homemade Taste, which produces, among other things, a delicious cookie made with oatmeal, cranberries, and macadamia nuts. For a little less than $7, you get a dozen large, chunky cookies, and the package is so nicely designed that you can give it as a gift (the logo, the package says, is by Tracie Tsujioka, age 11). The cookies are sold at open markets; HHT’s mailing address is P.O. Box 62057, Honolulu, HI 96839.
