Kashi U Cereal, Black Currants & Walnuts, 13-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

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!

good cereal. taste is a bit strong for me (currants) but my husband and daughter absolutely love this and it is my husband's new favorite.

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!

This is the first cereal I can honestly say I will always eat as long as they keep making it. The combination of the tart black currants with the walnuts and crunchy high fiber flakes....I don't know....it's just so good. It's a shame it's more expensive than most cereals, but it's delicious, nutritious, and worth it. Be aware that this box is slightly smaller than most standard cereals. I try to eat mostly paleo/high protein, but I always keep this around to satisfy my carb/sweet cravings. It's healthier than most options and it's delicious. Delivery was great and the expiration dates were 6+ months out.
