I need more protein in my diet and I was told to try Kashi Go Lean cereal. It surely has a lot of protein for one cup, which is more than an egg! I was wondering how much it generally costs or if it's worth it. They have some other tasty looking products I wouldn't mind trying. Tell me about your experiences with it! :blushing:

    I don't have a full bowl of it every day, because it is expensive, but I mix some in with other cereals. It doesn't have a ton of taste, but hey, more protein!

    I say YAY for sure. I really have liked all their products I've tried. The price is pretty reasonable too. Also try greek yogurt and add Kashi cereal and whatever type of fruit you like. Yum! I use the greek yogurt with honey.

    I like the cinnamon wheat squares what ever they call it. They only problem for me with cereal is it takes a huge amount out of my carb budget.

    I eat their protein bars every night that I work. They're delicious! Everything I've tried that they make is really good.

    I love it. Giant usually has it for $3 or even less when it goes on sale. I eat it plain without milk. They also make some other great cereals.

    There granola bars are amazing too. There's so many flavors, crunch and chewy. They never use HFCS in any of their products. They're awesome and I've never had a bad product from them.

    I don't work or get paid for saying these things. It's just straight truth.

    I like the Kashi Go Lean Crunch a lot. It has lots of fiber too. You can get it on sale at Target and Walgreens from time to time.

    Kashi makes amazing frozen waffles! Just as soon as I got used to buying them every week our stinking Walmart stops selling them, go figure! I say go for it! I have loved all of their products that I have tried!

    I agree, expensive, but not terribly sodium laden and it tastes like "real" food.

    The bars are good if you have to eat and run. The GoLean is also good, but I'm not sure I'd eat it without skim milk.

    I put a quarter of a cup of Kashi in my morning yogurt, along with raspberries and blueberries. (I also add a tablespoon of pecans.)

    I loveeeeee the original. Sometimes I add cinnamon to give it more taste, and yes because it's a bit expensive sometimes I mix it with another cereal. I have gotten it for $2.50 at Wegmans by me though. :)

    I'm not a huge fan of it. I use ISO Femme bars instead. They have less sugars and are lower in calories, plus I feel fuller longer. They are soooo good!

    go lean was recommended to me by my trainer in order to get more protein since I can't stand eating eggs and what not for breakfast. It really helps!! I think its worth the money. I can take it to work with me and eat it at my desk.

    I eat the original... I really like the taste of it, and it packs a TON of protein too... I've just started eating it a few days ago and it seems worth it to me... yes it is expensive but look for sale prices and its not too bad... high protein and fiber and low fat and sugar (which is what this is) helps me loose weight the fastest... but I was reading an article that too much 'puffed' cereal isn't good for you... so I keep it to just a bowl a day :)

    It is tasty, I think the serving size is 2/3 a cup. We got it at Costco for 8 bucks it was huge though. They ran out of it and now we have the Nature's Path Organic - Heritage Ancient Grains Almond Granola it has 5 grams of protein taste about the same.
