watch your oatmeal!!
when the oatmeal is starting to rise and is about to bubble over in your microwave, pause the timer and take it out and stir it. repeat until fully cooked.

It keeps exploding in the microwave!! I’m following the directions, but even cutting the cooking time to 30 seconds makes it explode all over the microwave. I cover it with a paper towel, which then gets soaked with burning hot oatmeal, while some of it still leaks out of the sides, and I’m left with about half the amount (which is delicious, don’t get me wrong). I’ve wasted three packets already, so if anyone can suggest a better method, I would really appreciate it!

I add raisins and cinnamon to my Kashi oatmeal along with a 1/4 c. of quick oats. Increase the water by 1/4 c. and this breakfast keeps me full and satisfied well past the lunch hour. It has become a regular routine for me to start my day with Kashi!

I love this hot cereal. I don’t know what others are talking about when they say it has no flavor. I eat it every day for my mid-morning snack with raspberries! MMMM! Delicious. My problem is that I haven’t been able to purchase it in my local grocery store for weeks now. They’re always out!

I love this cereal but it makes a huge mess in the microwave. Does anyone have any ideas for containing it while it cooks?

I love it! I add a handful of raisins and a little more cinnamon…it’s fantastic!

I love everything about this oatmeal: the flavors, the texture, and the nutritional data. This makes for a very filling breakfast or snack!

I often decrease my carbs when I am dieting. I really hate eating eggs everyday on these types of diets and this oatmeal is great. It is so high in fiber and protein that it fits in with my dieting. I started out using this product for weight loss but now it is what I buy for hot cereal period. When I am dieting I don’t add much to it, but sometimes I add more honey and chunked apples and raisins, so so good!

This is my favorite oatmeal. I like the texture, not goopy like other oatmeals. I add blueberries and it is great!

I love some of the Kashi foods snacks but this one oatmeal has got to be one of the nastiest tasting I have ever ate, and I tried it with optimism, I suggest you make one with either apricot or mangoes in it

As someone who had gastric bypass surgery in 2008 I have to have meals with high protein and low sugar. I decided to try the honey cinnamon cereal… It helps to READ the instructions because you can’t just add hot water to this cereal like oatmeal. The first morning I tried to make it on the way out the door like oatmeal… Not good. The 2nd day I actually cooked it :0) much better than the day before BUT still did not have the protein in it I need. My blood sugar dropped, if I eat this then I need to fit in more protein some how…big issue gave the rest to my mom to eat…Bummer!

I justed tried this oatmeal as my daughter recommended it. It was great!!! I ‘m going to try it w/ Soy milk tomorrow. I need to add ^ protein and this product fits that level and sugar isn’t too high.

I don’t like oatmeal or hot cereal. Big thing for me was to find one w/o maple-I HATE MAPLE anything. I love Kashi Go Lean Crunch so when I say the hot cereal with Clusters I was excited to try it. Now I have it every morning before I workout. 1 min in microwave stir and 30 seconds more and done! NOT overly sweet. Just right.

I love this cereal, especially since it has more soluble fiber than anything else I can find. However, the whey protein causes me some digestive problems, but not as much as the Vanilla flavor, which has even more soluble fiber.

I am simply in love with this oatmeal and this flavor, I will not even try another, I look forward to my breakfast, I use 2 packs with just water no sugar or milk, oooo! it’s so good. I don’t even want to speak or be interrupted when am eating it, i’ve even lost 5 pounds since i’ve chosen this as my early morning first meal, it keeps me totally filled and happy until lunch time….I used to love the almond cereal, but i would eat the entire box haha. with this, am feel more in control, I just use 2 packets and am ok…Thanks Kaski! Kashi should have me do a commercial for them …

I can no longer find this product in any local stores withing a 50 mile radius. I love this on a cool northwestern morning and no other brand even comes close to the flavor and texture! I am so disappointed! Why can we not find it?

I am no longer able to locate this product in stores near me!!! It is very frustrating to look in store after store and still come up empty. What gives Kashi? Target, Walmart, Dominick’s and Jewel all previously carried this oatmeal but now their shelves are filled with inferior hot cereals. HELP!!!

I too cannot find this at the listed retailers in my area. The Targets in my area seem to no longer carry it. I also could buy it at the Giant Grocery Store near work and they no longer have it on their shelves. I let them both know at their customer service counters that I was missing it. I have been eating this oatmeal for quite some time now and have found no other as hearty. I love it! I will be very disappointed if it is no longer carried by retailers in my area. Can someone from Kashi help?

I’m also having trouble finding this in stores! I used to be able to find it at a variety of stores and now I can usually only find it at Wal Mart if I’m lucky. I’ll have to stock up the next time I find it!

I found this product in the store several months ago, and have eaten it for breakfast almost every day since! But I am sort of freaking out, because it is disappearing from the stores I always found it at before! I have tried 3 Targets in the last month, as well as some other local grocers and no one has it! This site says they carry it but they don’t! I just hope this doesn’t mean it is being discontinued!!!

honestly the best oatmeal i’ve ever had. i used to hate oatmeal and i now eat this every day! i subbed in nonfat milk instead of water, and it tastes divine! it also goes really well with vanilla greek yogurt and strawberries. and it keeps me really full all morning!

I LOVE this oatmeal. I keep a box of it in my office and instead of visiting the vending machine every afternoon, this satisfies my midday hunger. It’s good to know it’s not killing my diet.

This is my favorite hot cereal, I could eat this every day!

I start every day with Hearty Honey and Cinnamon. Either adding 1/2 banana or a handful of blueberries is an energizing wake up for my body. Thank you Kashi : )

This is SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!! I use vanilla almond milk instead of water and it makes it 99999X better! This is what I look forward to every morning when I wake up.

I have never liked oatmeal and I am 38 yrs old, until someone gave ma a packet to try. Now this is the only thing I will eat for breakfast every day. I love it!

I was weary of trying oatmeal, for I have a hard time eating food with a mushy texture…but this oatmeal has such a hearty and oaty feel in the mouth that I did not have a problem. I add an additional sprinkle of cinnamon to bump up the intensity of the flavor.

I agree that this is best oatmeal. Nothing else compares. I add peanut butter to mine and it tastes great.

I have never really tried Kashi products before, but this oatmeal caught my eye. I love it. It has great texture and is not overly flavored like so many other oatmeal products out there. I don’t know if I will ever be able to eat any other oatmeal after this.

I am a huge fan of Kashi foods so I picked this up! The first time I tried this oatmeal with hot water I thought it was really bland and I couldn’t get passed three bites before throwing it out. The next time I tried it I microwaved the oatmeal with vanilla soymilk and it was DELICIOUS. There’s no soymilk taste at all… it just made the oatmeal richer and taste better. I don’t like sugary oatmeals at all and this was just right for me. I add a sliced banana or a chopped apple depending on what I have on hand and it’s the perfect thing in the morning.

I guess it’s a good plan to let people sweeten the oatmeal to their taste. And in my case, I imagine that the honey I added is much better than refined sugar present in other brands. So, all in all, sure, why not… just be prepared to add something to it unless bland is your thing.

As I sit here suffering thru a “healthy store-brand oatmeal” with a strong artificial sweetener aftertaste I realize I absolutley love The Kashi Honey and Cinnamon Hot Cereal and will no longer buy anything else!

This is my favorite Kashi product. I add a teaspoon full of chopped almonds and a teaspoon full of raisons and it is heaven. I used to skip breakfast until I was diagnosed as diabetic. It has helped take me from an A1C of 9.5 to 5.2 in 3 months! I just wish Kashi would print the nutritional info on the individual packets, I take them to work a few at a time and it isn’t practical to keep a full box of them in my desk. I need to watch my carb intake with each meal and you are not helping me.

Love this stuff. Nice texture, not mush. I add about a tbs of chopped walnuts or flax. Sweet enough to skip sugar. Much better than the vanilla. Good for people that don’t want sweet, smooth oats. If you want sweet and smooth go for the vanilla.

I like the flavour, though it’s a little delicate. My only problem is with the serving size…for the nutrition statistics it possesses, I would have liked to have seen a LOT more cereal in my bowl. Barring that, it’s okay. I’m not sure I would buy it again though. I want to try the vanilla flavour and see if that is any better…

I LOVE that this is a heartier oatmeal and doesn’t get totally mushy. I make mine with plain almond milk and add a handful of fresh raspberries and fresh blackberries, adds plenty of sweetness. I also add a teeny bit of sea salt.

Saw that this was on sale and I thought I would try it out. I’m a fan of other Kashi products, but this is horrible. It’s extremely bland and I have to force myself to eat it.

My 3 year old loves it! Is there a way to cook it on the stovetop?

After a friend heard I love grains, she recommended this oatmeal to me. I was skeptical at first, but I quickly fell in love! All grain lovers should try this cereal. It’s so coarse and hearty. (On the other hand, if you don’t like grains, beware.)

I highly, highly recommend everybody to let this cereal sit for at least five minutes after microwaving it. In fact, I consider that a must. If you don’t wait, you end up with a soupy oatmeal. I promise the five-minute wait is well worth it!

i was surprised how much i liked this. it’s meatier than regular oatmeal w/ great flavor, and i don’t think that i’ll buy the old stuff ever again

So good! Very filling and hearty and perfectly sweet!

My grocery store stopped selling the apple cinnamon oatmeal and I’m sad….I can’t find it anywhere!

I’m ruined for all other oatmeal now. I’ve eaten this for about three months, then I was stuck grocery shopping in another town and picked up another kind (because they didn’t have hearty) and I was totally grossed out by the other. So if they discontinue this I’m up the creek – must start hoarding it! Regular textured oatmeal just doesn’t taste right anymore.

i love this oatmeal. i love that it has such great texture! it’s sweet enough for me and filling. i usually eat fruit along with it.

YUMMMMMMMY

I love this cereal! I’m eating a bowl right now!

I LOVE THIS!! It is soo good! It seems that some people feel that this oatmeal is a little bland but I think it has a real nutty taste to it that makes it really good! I could easily eat this every single morning!

This hot cereal is great! Sometimes I’ll eat two packets for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. It’s not too sweet, the texture is grand, and the cinnamon flavor is awesome. Keep up the good work, Kashi!

I have to say that I HATE oatmeal and was wary of trying this, but am happy that I did. Makes my belly happy, not too soft and warm like goodness in the morning. :)

I really liked this product! I read the comments before trying it and was unsure of what I would think. It is heartier than oatmeal and definitely less sugary which I LOVED! It has an earthy vibe and fills me up. I recommend it!
