The tasty additions from Kashi offer convenient, all natural meal options and a welcomed balance of popular flavor combinations and real food nourishment to spice up the frozen food aisle.

"Our new frozen entrees are satisfyingly delicious—made with great tasting ingredients that provide a unique eating experience of colors, textures and tastes along with the whole grain goodness that Kashi is known for," says Keegan Sheridan, natural food and lifestyle expert at Kashi.
