As part of Virtual Potluck, we’re all sharing some sweet news about Kashi and their products. We received
Kashi Berry Blossoms, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest, and Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal. From the three cereals, one of my favorites was the Cinnamon Harvest and I decided to think of new ways to consume it, since snacking on it was just one of the options. Here are some of the great things and nutrition facts on the Cinnamon Harvest cereal from the Kashi website:
- 47g whole grains
- High fiber
- Low fat
- Sodium free
- USDA Organic—Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International
This trail mix recipe is a great use of odds and ends you might have in your baking drawer; half a chocolate bar chopped up, the last of the candied pecans and even some dried fruit to balance out the crispy texture. Used in this recipe is peanut butter, but you can use your favorite nut butter, as well as reducing the amount of confectioner’s sugar in this recipe. The sugar is mostly used to keep the trail mix from being too sticky to eat. Like Kashi on Facebook here.

| This is my craft of the year: Cupcake liner glued on the lid and some extra ribbon around the jar. You can add a tag or label and gift to your loved ones! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! |
- Melt peanut butter with unsalted butter, salt and spices. Stir until combined.
- In a large bowl, mix add-ins and Cinnamon Harvest Cereal. Drizzle melted peanut butter mixture and toss together.
- Add confectioner’s sugar and toss until everything is coated. Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy these trail mix on it’s own or over yogurt, ice cream or fold into cookie dough for added flavor and texture.

Ooh these look so good – I absolutely love Kashi! I also love how you used the cupcake papers on top of the jars. ^^
Another home-run recipe! Loved the Cinnamon Harvest Cereal! Good Idea about going GF, EA-The Spicy RD!
Sounds delish, unfortunately Kashi doesn’t make any gluten-free products so I cat eat it. They are located here in San Diego, so maybe I should give them a call and see if they can come with a gluten-free creation 🙂
This will be great to make for my son to munch on – always looking for high carb/protein snacks for him!!
peanut butter with kashi cereal is the best!!! i used to devour boxes of kashi cereal before i became wheat free, long ago~ i love this stuff!
Love what you did with the cereal
So cute! I love homemade stuff like this. Oh, and you had me at peanut butter.
This sounds delicious. I have a blogging conference (Blissdom) coming up and was thinking about what to take for snacks in my bag, to avoid having to pay $ for restaurant food. This is a great idea!
Cute presentation and I’m sure the trail mix would disappear in about five minutes at my house!
