spreading KINDness this thanksgiving.
November 22, 2011
KIND. A brand after our own heart, what with their hip, colorful packaging, their delicious (and always gluten-free) bars, their do-good vibe, and now — makeshift seed mix no more! — Healthy Grains cereal-cum-snack mix-cum-granola.
These new whole-grain mixes are a best-possible version of homemade granola, where the flavors are fresh, the ingredients are entirely wholesome (i.e. everything on the ingredients list is pronounceable), and the nutritious benefits are through the roof. We’re constantly putting foods to the test here at The Lab, and these KIND Healthy Grains have been eaten over yogurt, with milk and by the handful. And, yah. They pass our stringent taste tests with flying colors, plus they have actual nutritional content, so snacking on a handful of Healthy Grains tends to stick with us.
Here are a few of our fave flavors:
Cinnamon Oat Clusters with Flax Seeds combine antioxidant rich cinnamon, flax seeds and whole grains amaranth, quinoa, oats, millet and buckwheat for a delicious snack. These hand-crafted clusters are high in fiber and contain 720mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 16g of whole grains per serving.
Vanilla Blueberry Clusters with Flax Seeds are a nutritionally rich blend of blueberries, flax seeds and whole grains amaranth, quinoa, oats, millet and buckwheat with a hint of vanilla. These perfectly sweet clusters are high in fiber and contain 750mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 16g of whole grains per serving.
Maple Walnut Clusters with Chia & Quinoa are a heart healthy blend of walnuts, chia and whole grains amaranth, quinoa, oats, millet and buckwheat with a sweet touch of maple. These palate-pleasing clusters contain 300mg of omega-3 fatty acids and provide 17g of whole grains per serving.
. . .

I got to try the KIND clusters at a food conference and absolutely loved them. I am gluten-free as well and am always on the lookout for yummy and nutritious gluten-free goodies! Peanut butter and the cinnamon are my absolute favorite flavors. I’d love to win either prize pack, but pack #2 would be my preference
What an awesome giveaway!

I LOVE these, but don’t buy them often as we try not to buy a lot of things that are packaged in plastic. I do stash a few of these in the car for “Emergencies” however… I love the apricot & pretty much any of the flavors that have the yogurt drizzle on them- so good! I think #1 would be my first choice (but either would be so very kind of you- pun intended!)

The dark chocolate with cranberry clusters sounds particularly tasty! I haven’t tried this particular product yet, but I LOVE the Kind Macadamia and Mango bars. As for prize pack preference, #2 looks right up our alley! The t-shirt is fantastic. Keeping my fingers crossed!
