Great CerealFeb 16, 2009
By Mizerello
Had this for the first time and it was wonderful. The black currants are nice and tart and the walnuts add a great crunch to the whole thing. I'm not that much of a cereal person but I could get hooked on this stuff!

Finally a "healthy" cereal with some TASTE!Aug 06, 2010
By Jennifer B

I know that Kashi makes an assortment of "good for you" cereals but, quite frankly, I just can't bring myself to eat many of them regularly because they taste like tree bark IMO. And Kashi foods in general *are* healthy but not recommended for someone trying to lose weight due to high amounts of fat, calorie, and carbs. For a VERY long time I've been trying to fine a cereal that A) tastes good, B) is low-fat, and C) has a good ratio of carbs-to-fiber-to protein. TRUST ME - this is more difficult than you would imagine because usually the *really good-for-you* cereals (health-wise) taste terrible but Kashi's black currant & walnut cereal is a WINNER for me!!!!! EVEN MY DOG likes the teeny little oat clusters - LOL!
First of all - I LOOOOVE the currants! The sweetened flakes are a wonderful balance to the tart currants and the walnuts and oat clusters add a nice crunch. I add almond slivers and flax seeds to my bowl as well and my tastebuds are singing with each bite!
I'm also very keen on reading ingredients' labels on packages and even though the list on this product initially struck me as long (which usually translates into lots of preservatives via words I can't pronounce), I was pleasantly surprised that the ingredients total about 90% actual food products (natural sweeteners, fruits, grains, etc.) 5% vitamins, and 5% preservatives. That's really good for a wonderful as it tastes :-)
So, all in all, even though I am working on shedding about 50 lbs and need to really watch my fat, calorie, and carb intake, I can eat the recommended serving size of this cereal (1 cup) and not feel like I'm sabotaging my weight loss efforts because I easily burn the 200 calories in my morning workout and the 7g fiber/5g protein/3.5g fat per serving (these numbers are slightly elevated b/c I add my own nuts) are all still "safe" numbers. Sometimes I will even eat the cereal as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack if I chose to eat something different for breakfast. It's THAT yummy!!!!
The only snag I might run into is trying to FIND this cereal. Right now, I've been lucky to buy it at Grocery Outlet for only $2.99/box but these stores typically don't stock "specialty" cereals on a regular basis. They just get a shipment of something in and when it's gone, it's gone. GRRRR!! So I'm going to go buy whatever stock they have left of this cereal and hope I don't have to buy it through Amazon and pay shipping. Sounds like Costco has it though so I might have to break down and buy a membership - just for the cereal. LOL!

great cereal, not so good priceFeb 01, 2009
By G. Ocasio
This is a great tasting cereal. It has a lasting crunch and the whole family loves it. This price is not good at all. You can find a larger size for a cheaper price at Costco.

Best cereal everJan 30, 2010
By J. JOHNSON
I've been looking for a cereal like this for many years. It tastes great, stays crunchy in milk, and has just the right amounts of fruits(currents) and walnuts. In my opinion when a cereal shows walnuts on the box or lists them on the box, like many do, they should 'have walnuts' in the cereal. This one does and plenty of them. For the price ( walmart has it for $3.50 per box in my area) it has all the nuts you will want unless you just want nuts and no cereal. You don't need to "look" for the nuts to find them. It has taste, crunch, protein, fiber, the nuts provide omega 3s , and all this in a natural cereal that is economical as well. Kashi has many cereals that are good for you , but I was surprised to find this one is so good I probably eat too much of it . The only thing which isn't top quality with this cereal is the box which is made of re-cycled cardboard. You can enjoy it and know you are helping the environment at the same time.
PS: Amazon will undoubtely edit the name of the store I said had this for $3.50 per box in my area. It has "mart" in the name and it is written on the "wall" of the store. Wonder if they'll edit this too ??
