Kashi Good Friends

Pros: high fiber and protein. low sugar and fat....doesn't taste like it though
Cons: hard to find. I don't want to order a case of cereal through the mail

Many years ago, I discovered Kashi at the store. The original Kashi was simply a mix of grains and seeds in cereal form. The cold cereal version was reminiscent of puffed wheat, but had so many other ingredients that it was only a passing resemblance....

Pros: Good for your body, lots of coupons for it now.
Cons: A dry taste to it which takes getting used to. It isn't Trix!

I will get right into this review without too much fanfare!

Why did I buy Kashi Good Friends?

1. I like the Kashi Company’s cereal Kashi and decided to try this one as well.

2. It was on sale and cereal is very...

Pros: adds to the viscosity of vomit
Cons: keeps you regular - regular user of Tuck's medicated pads

If you could pull back the camera from the two smiling faces on the cover of the Kashi Good Friends cereal box you would probably find two unwilling participants, held at gunpoint, tethered to donkeys in the middle of an Arabian desert. Poor...

Pros: Nutritious & Delicious; High Fiber; Virtually No Points
Cons: Not in every store; No added vitamins or minerals

As many of us struggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy weight for us and/or our significant others, our aging parents, and our grown up or teenage kids, there are few products out there that offer benefits to all. This is one of them:

Pros: It's delicious
Cons: It's delicious

I am writing this editorial on the wings of a hot topic on Epinions these days, Weight Watchers. Having been a member many times, I have learned that the lecturers are usually the best at giving hints as to what is best for you, with the little you are...

Pros: Breathtakingly healthy, high fiber.
Cons: Not quite good enough, not quite sweet enough, not quite . . . anything enough.

In my seemingly endless quest to discover healthy foods that taste --well, a little naughty, at least—I have found myself on the receiving end of some pretty bad foods. Foods that taste like baled alfalfa hay, foods that break my teeth (no ...

Pros: Lots of fiber, low in fat.
Cons: This isn't Cocopuffs, people.

Summer is here and we are all trying our hardest to loose a little weight to look good on the beach. For me, striving to lose weight is a constant struggle. I get wrapped up in it, and eventually try so hard, with so little results that I end up giving...

Pros: Tasty and healthy with no additives or preservatives, good value
Cons: Large flakes are hard to measure accurately

The first product I tried from Kashi, was Go Lean cereal. I was looking for a bran substitute and found it offered many other benefits in addition to bran. But what kept me coming back was the taste. I decided to check out the label of Go Lean's...

Pros: Good for snacking right from the box.
Cons: Kind of expensive. Better out of the box than with milk.

When I buy cereal at Safeway, I usually just pick something that's on sale, and that's how I ended up with this one, though when I got home and looked at my receipt, I saw I had only saved 14 cents so it wasn't the deal of the century.

I'm a...

Pros: Low in calories, high in fiber
Cons: Taste (or I should say, lack of it)

Twigs? When I saw this on the ingredients list, I immediately thought of Ewell Gibbons, and he’s dead, isn’t he? I can see why if he ate this cereal.

Kashi Good Friends comes highly recommended by both the Sugar Busters and Weight Watchers...

Pros: Tastes surprisingly good
Cons: None

I first ran across this cereal browsing through the health food section at my local supermarket. I have been on a health food kick lately, and was looking for different things to try. I saw Kashi Good Friends cereal and it was on sale. Reading the...

Pros: whole grain, wholesome ingredients, taste, lots of fiber, low carbs
Cons: taste may be need to be "acquired"

Over the past year I have been reading more and more about proper diet and nutrition, and have been slowly changing the foods I buy and serve to my family. We've long been a whole-wheat bread household, but only recently I learned about the dangerous...

Pros: Filling and crunchy; lightly sweet.
Cons: Look like a bowl full of twigs!

Got Milk? Got Kashi? Then you got breakfast, and what a breakfast it is! Kashi Good Friends cereal may look like a bowl full of twigs and granola, but it tastes a little bit better than that!

This cereal is lighly sweet and very crunchy. A...

Pros: Used to be a great product; high fiber
Cons: Increased calories (watch out, Weight Watchers); decreased taste and texture

I used to be a BIG TIME Kashi Good Friends fan, after having bought it for the first time several years ago at Trader Joe's in San Francisco. I ate it devotedly for breakfast, both for health reasons (low calorie, high fiber) and because I sincerely ...

Pros: High in insoluble fiber. My picky toddler likes it!
Cons: Surprisingly bad, considering the sugar content. Unpleasant mix of textures.

I'm surprised to see how many Epinion reviews of "Good Friends" refer to it as a diet-approved product. Okay, 2 grams of fat per 1 cup serving, although high for cereal, isn't a bad trade-off for 12 grams of fiber. But I don't see how 9 grams of ...
