Taste Test Tuesday: Kashi Five Cheese Tomato Pizza
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

The makers of Kashi cereal have moved onto frozen pizza. When I saw this new product in the grocery store I was drawn to a few nutritional declarations on the front of the box:

  • 14 grams of protein
  • 4 grams of fiber
  • 260 mg plant omega-3s

And since I have a couple of teenagers in my house, having a frozen pizza or two in the freezer is a necessity. When my teen daughter and her friends warmed this up in the oven they gave me their honest assessment and it was a resounding, unanimous..."OKAY"

My daughter said she would bake it and eat it if it was in the freezer but she wouldn't necessarily go out of her way to buy it. The crust was just a little too tough and the sauce was just a little too bland.

The omega-3s come from the flaxseed in the crust, in case you were wondering.

1/3 of the pizza is a serving and each serving contains:
290 calories
9 g fat
3.5 g saturated fat
14 g protein
37 g carbohydrate
4 g fiber
570 mg sodium

My roommate lives by these pizzas. He says they are worth it for how healthy they are and if you are a health nut but love pizza. There are always ways to add ingredients or someone's own spin on the pizza.
