Kashi GO Keto-Friendly Cereal is the brand's first foray into keto-friendly foods and the nourishing product shares 12 grams of plant-based protein with just one gram of sugar. The grain-free cereals are available in flavors like Cinnamon Vanilla and Dark Cocoa, which are naturally sweetened with a combination of allulose and monk fruit.
The nutritious cereals are made with ingredients like pea protein, lentil and chickpea flour, and they offer a healthier take on beloved dessert flavors. While the Dark Cocoa flavor is said to remind of a comforting cup of hot chocolate, the Cinnamon Vanilla flavor is the brand's own take on a freshly baked cinnamon roll.
According to Melanie Hall, Director of Brand Marketing at Kashi and Registered Dietician: "We know that consumers are leaving traditional cereal behind to meet their evolving needs, adopting diets that limit sugar intake, increase protein content, and avoid grains."
