All you Kashi fans will be glad to know that Kashi is planning to launch a line of frozen entrees soon. According to a recent press release, the meals will be mostly chicken-based, with a few shrimp- and bean-based entrees as well. As you might expect, there'll be plenty of grains, and multi-grain pastas. The frozen dinners are supposed to hit shelves sometime next month. Now, now, contain your enthusiasm. You can wait a few weeks. There's still no word on whether the new entrees will have the same mug-shot covered boxes and colon-scrubbing properties as the other Kashi products.

I am very interested in the introduction of your frozen food line.

Would you provide manufacturer's coupons to sample these new products?

Tried the Southwestern chicken dinner. I really liked it, needed some salt but that might be just me. I thought it was very pricey for a frozen dinner($4.99) and wouldn't buy it unless it was on sale because of the price.

Portion size was just right. Could use a bit of salt

The Southwestern and Sweet and Sour chicken dinners were both good. (I agree they needed a little salt, which is a first for me and frozen meals.) I didn't really like the cilantro shrimp.

These are $3.49 where I shop, so they're not much more than Lean Cuisine and seem to be more satisfying for dinners, so I buy them for days I'm short on time.

I just ate a Kashi Southwest Style Chicken entree. I was impressed. I love the whole grains, they are so much tastier, filling and nutritious than the bland white rice that comes in other frozen entrees. The inside flap listed an e-mail address to complete a 10 minute survey and receive a coupon for a free entree. I was unable to access this site. Please e-mail me with instructions.

For people with a local Costco, they have them there as well. The package has 4 meals (2 of the sweet n sour chicken, 2 of a pasta dish) for $9.99. Just a heads up. I have one for my lunch today so I did a Google search and came across this thread.

I thought I'd try your new Kashi frozen dinners; just finished the Chicken Sweet and Sour; it's the best "frozen" entree I've ever had! Very tasty and lots of good stuff in it. Portion size was perfect. Keep 'em coming.

I've tried Southwestern Chicken dinner. It is yummy. Chicken was like it was right out of oven, grains had texture and vegetables were not as limp as most dinners. I loved it!

I have tried the Southwest Black Bean and the Rosemary Chicken frozen entrees...I've got one word:
YUUUUMY!
PLEASE PLEASE do not add salt -- let people add their own salt -- this is why I liked it so much, so much less sodium and a much "fresher" taste and more wholesome ingredients...WONDERFUL! just PLEASE -- LOWER THE PRICE! (i could only afford the ones i bought b/c i had a coupon)

will you be having coupons to send to us,that would be a good thing,a lot of people say they are very expensive,it would be worth your while to give coupon other wise i don't think people will be spending there hard earned money on your frozen food ,in other words you will be losing money, not us.

I need to know how to cook your frozen dinners in a conventional oven.

Folks,
Just to clarify, Slashfood is not affiliated with Kashi. Therefore, I don't know how to obtain coupons or how to prepare their frozen dinners in a conventional oven. I would suggest directing your questions to Kashi.com.

Everyone! I went out on a limb with the Kashi frozen meals and had a pretty successful outcome cooking them in a conventional oven. I make NO claim that this is the proper way to cook these meal, simply saying it worked out well. I cooked the Black Bean Mango and the Lime Cilantro Shrimp Meals. Here's what I did. Heat the oven to 350. Place a length of tin foil (about 12") onto a cookie sheet. Remove the meal from its packaging and place on the tin foil. Pull the two ends together to meet at the middle and fold closed. Roll the other two ends closed. Open the original fold slightly to allow for steam release (just as you would pull back the top film on the original packaging). Place the meal in the oven and cook for 40 minutes. The veggies stayed pretty crisp and all other ingredients cooked well. The shrimp was a little tough, but tasted fresh. Best of luck!
