Kashi Vanilla Almond

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Kashi Vanilla Almond scores 18/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Kashi Vanilla Almond lists 13 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Oats, Soft Brown Sugar, Brown Rice Syrup, Almonds and Rice Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 18/100 Kashi Vanilla Almond scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Lovebird Grain Free Honey Breakfast Cereal at 100/100.
