[Kashi GO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-waffle-crisp-cereal-by-kashi), previously called GOLEAN, boasts redesigned packaging and new [plant-based protein cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerios-protein) like the texture-rich [Maple Brown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-duck-legs) Sugar Flakes & Clusters. This protein-packed cereal mixes lentils, quinoa, pumpkin seeds, flakes and clusters to offer a hearty and delicious way for people to fuel themselves. This new cereal from Kashi is the first of its kind in the Kashi GO line to feature flakes, which are packed with protein—a single serving of the Maple Brown Sugar Flakes & Clusters provides 10 grams of plant-powered protein, plus 36 grams of whole grains and just nine grams of sugar.

The refreshed packaging for Kashi GO was created to reflect an on-the-go lifestyle and each colorful box in the product line represents different goals and activities.
