Kashi GoLean is a line of lightly sweetened, crunchy cereals made from whole grains with nearly twice the amount of fiber and protein as most breakfast cereals. Kashi, a company dedicated to health and wellness, launched its first product in 1984, a hot breakfast cereal made up of a custom mixture of seeds and whole grains. Wider success came with its introduction of cold cereals, and Kashi has been expanding its ready-to-eat offerings ever since.
