Kashi TLC Dark Chocolate Coconut Fruit & Grain Bar

Just like Jess I love Kashi products so I decided to try a new snack bar from their TLC line.  I picked up the Dark Chocolate Coconut Fruit & Grain Bar because it was pretty low cal with a decent amount of protein ... and seriously, chocolate & coconut - you can't go wrong.  Well, it's great! 

I used the layer-by-layer eating approach & started w/ the toppings, nibbled off the chocolate, & munched down on the granola base.  Every layer tasted great & totally satisfied my craving!  I'm definitely going to buy another box of these when this runs out. 

I still rely on my homemade protein cakes for my on-the-go convenience foods but bars like these ease my chocolate cravings and give me a daily sweet.  I don't have a huge sweet tooth and i don't add sweeteners to my recipes but it's nice to have one or two sweet things a day.  I think this really helps me keep the rest of my diet super clean.

The nutrition stats are pretty great on this bar.  Kashi hasn't done me wrong yet!

Kashi GoLean Roll! Bars - Chocolate Turtle

These bars are one of my favorites!  If I'm going to eat a bar that is a bit higher in calories, it has to satisfy a few things:  (1) be delicious, (2) take a while to eat so that I'm not done in 2 minutes having snarfed 200 cals, (3) be high in protein, and (4) keep me full. 
Yes, I'm high maintenance.

These bars meet all these requirements.  They've got 3 layers & I eat them sequentially:  crispies on the outside, chocolate layer of love, & chewy caramel center!  I love that it takes me so long to eat it - definitely adds to the psychologically satiating aspect of a calorically dense bar!  Stats are great, too, with plenty of protein & fiber to keep you full. 
Check out more info @ their website but don't buy these bars if you see them at the grocery store ... more for me!  :)
