    I've been eating Kashi - Honey Almond Flax for the last 2 weeks. I mix it in some activia every morning and I LOVE it. I didn't think I would like it that much but was pleasantly surprised. I say give it a try. It's worth it. :)

    I absolutely luv kashi, products ... I try to buy it every time I go grocery shopping.. One of my favs are strawberry fields, & go lean crunch.. I usually take the go lean crunch and put it on top of my organic yogurts.. I never tried the bars because whole foods has the same for a cheaper price.. But I think I will next time I go shopping

    I LOVE kashi... I am just throwing a shout out, because noone has mentioned it yet, but I LOVE their dark chocolate cookies... they are in the cookie isle, and they are delicious... they are more of an oatmeal cookie but totally worth every penny.

    I eat the cinnamon harvest shredded wheat. it is my all time favorite. Its expensive and it is carb expensive. but I know I am eating real food and that is worth it. sooo yeah.

    I say go for it, you will love it!

    I live by Kashi. They are expensive, but nothing compared to the mental ease it puts me at. I eat their cereals (I do mix them a lot). In a pinch I have their frozen meals (but they are the ONLY ones I will eat now). When I have a pizza craving, theirs is an amazing substitute. Again, they are expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

    Sorry if this is a repeat, I didn't read all the responses. Kashi Go Lean Crunch is SO reasonable at Costco- I can't remember exact price, but it's very, very reasonable considering how healthy it is. I have Kashi DAILY as it helps me enjoy the closest thing to DESSERT for me-- I crush it so that it's closer to the consistency of granola & I have it with my Yoplait Lights- it makes the Yoplait taste less fake-sugar-diet-y & when I pair it with things like Apple Turnover or Blackberry flavor, it's kind of the closest I can have to a fruit cobbler now. So it's not just great with milk- it's wonderful with yogurt & SO SO worth it, I buy 2-3 giant boxes every time we go to Costco!

    Hi - I love Kashi! I eat it for breakfast every day! Sometimes I will add a tablespoon to a Chobani yogurt to get some crunch. It's also got alot of fiber!

    We are a Kashi Family! lol

    My kids love their Honey Sunshine cereal and I love Go Lean Crunch, so yummy and it would make a good crunchy snack!

    Also, their granola bars are just YUM! Especially the Cherry Dark Chocolate and Coconut Chocolate. *drool*

    I live in Canada and have never seen the pizza or cookies...darn!

    I LOVE Kashi Go Lean Crunch. I am lactose intolerant so I put it in yogurt :) Mmmm so good.

    If you're looking to add in some protien try replacing rice or other carb sides with Quinoa. It is a delicious grain packed with nutrients and high protien :) Also try throwing chick peas in with your salads or mix it in with rice ...or quinoa! lol

    A lot of people have been saying they mix it with some Chobani or other greek yogurt. I haven't tried that either yet. I guess I'm buying some plain Chobani and some Kashi this Saturday! All these posts make me eager to taste it. :tongue:

    I'm chiming in for Kashi Go Lean as well!! It is sooooo yummy, it has just enough sweetness to give me that sugar fix, plus tons of protein. I use it as my post-workout snack or at dinnertime. I recently read about Kashi Go Lean Berry Crisp Crunch, it has actual berries and is awesome in greek yogurt. Once I get rid of the granola I have now, I'm gonna make a bee-line for it

    KASHI GO LEAN CRUNCH! PLUS some Greek Yogurt (mixed together)

    SOOOO goood, and about 17 grams of protein as well :)

    This....tastes great..the Kashi sweetens the greek yogurt...and you WILL be full!

    Also, Kashi has a really great fiber count....i'm not sure if that was mentioned, but it's got plenty of fiber to go with the protein.
    The Go Lean Berry is FANTASTIC..plain..in yogurt...with milk...GREAT!

    I liked the way the cereal tasted, but my stomach did NOT like all that fiber. Usually I can tolerate a good amt of fiber each day, but Kashi had me "rumbling" all day long. But I've also had the same issue with Fiber One bars. I'd recommend first trying it on the weekend just in case you have a similar "rumble" effect. Being at work and sounding like there's a thunderstorm in your gut is NOT good look, lol!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kashi - GoLean Crunch! - I put it in my yogurt. So yummy. I don't like adding milk.
    I also enjoy their Honey Sunshine Cereal!

    Another kashi product I absolutely enjoy is the Kashi TLC Crackers - I love their Fire Roasted Veggie Crackers. YUM.

    Kashi is great. :) makes me happy.
    It's is expensive at the store I usually go to, but it's one of those things that I don't mind splurging on, since it makes me happy. :)

    Well I work as a therapist, so the rumbling was probably more noticeable to me. Nothin like being one on one with a client and havin your stomach rumble so LOUDLY that your 10yr old client asks if you're ok, hahaha!

    Try the Kashi TLC Dark Chocolate Coconut Fruit and Grain bar. They're my secret weapon against chocolate and sweet cravings.

    120 calories, 50 sodium, 3.5 fat, 21 carb, and 4 protein.

    You don't even know what you're about to get yourself into :laugh: You're going to love it!

    I hate the Kashi cereals; however I do love the Kashi frozen dinners which are relatively high in protein & fiber and lower in sodium. The cost is about $1.00 more than the other regular healthy tv dinners.

    Nay, I say Nay!

    I use to love Kashi Cereals and then Kellogg's bought the small company out. Do your research. Even though the box says "All Natural" Independent testing shows that Kashi Go Lean contains high levels of GMO ingredients. It also contains hexane-extracted soy protein. The soy they use is given a hexane bath that consists of more than 50% n-hexane, which is a known neurotoxin, But don't take my word for it, do the research yourself. It has been tested by a few different labs with similar results.
