Kashi makes several cereals, and the majority (but not all) of them are vegan.
To save you time, I’ve gone through the full ingredient lists and noted anything that a vegan might want to be aware of.
We’ll go through each flavor and look at if it’s vegan or not.
Typical Ingredients in Kashi Cereals
For the most part, Kashi cereals have very few ingredients.
For example, the Cinnamon Harvest cereal has the following ingredients:
Whole grain wheat*, cane sugar*, cinnamon*, natural flavor.
They use cane sugar or other organic sweetener in all cereals, so there’s no worry about something like bone char.
Non-Vegan Ingredients in Kashi to Look Out For
Unlike some cereals where we can’t be entirely sure if all ingredients are vegan or not, Kashi makes it easy to tell.
On their website, vegan cereals are labelled if they are vegan.
Therefore, it’s clear where ingredients that can come from plant or animal sources are from. For example, some Kashi cereals contain:
- Glycerin
- Natural flavors
Even though these can both contain animal ingredients in general, we don’t need to worry about that if Kashi has clearly marked the cereal as vegan-friendly.
The only non-vegan ingredient in any Kashi cereal is honey. So if you’re in the store and forget which ones are vegan, you can specifically just scan the ingredients list for honey.
Which Kashi Cereal Flavors Are Not Vegan
I’ve gone through each cereal variety and recorded all the non-vegan ingredients (i.e. honey):

Some of these cereals have B12 added to them, but not all of them.
