I play soccer on three different amateur teams, and I wanted to spread some Kashiness to my fellow soccer teammates. I’m in an over-30 outdoor women’s league that plays around San Diego, and our team, Smarti’s Board, has been together for about a year.

Everybody on the team loves soccer, and enjoys living an active healthy lifestyle, so I thought they would love some free Kashi. Well, I couldn’t have been more right!

On a sunny November Sunday I took a bag of Kashi® TLC® granola bars and Kashi® GOLEAN® bars to our 9:30am game in La Jolla. The ladies were overjoyed and super stoked to get some Kashi love right before one of our tougher games. I let people pick out the type of bar they wanted, and encouraged them to try a flavor that they had never tried before. The Chocolate Almond Crunchy GOLEAN bars and the Dark Mocha Almond TLC Chewy Granola Bars were ones that people raved the most about, along with the Dark Chocolate Coconut TLC Fruit & Grain Bars. I think we are a team of some serious chocoholics! I even gave the referees some of the Kashi bars, and they surprised themselves by liking them as much as we did!

We ended up losing the game, but I think getting an unexpected Kashi treat took the bite out of the loss for us. Plus, we all got a great workout, so in the end we were all winners in the health department.

What do you Kashi community members like to eat to power up for your favorite sports?
