I am getting gas and very bloated eating this cereal. I am eating it with Almond milk and a banana. Bananas have never given me trouble, so I’m wondering what is in the cereal that would make me so gassy!

I love this cereal because of the high amount of protein and fiber… with almond milk, a few pieces of walnuts and maybe a bit of fruit it’s the perfect most delicious breakfast.

How can the calorie count on 1 serving be 140 cal? From the same label it states that it has 1gr fat, 13 gr protein and 30gr carbs…cal per gr of fat are 9, per gram of protein and carbs are 4…doing the math it comes to 181 cal…why the difference????

This is my perfect breakfast for my health, my weight and my fiber, 5 mornings a week. Add fresh berries to spike the flavor. Great product.

Though many Kashi products are excellent, their latest innovation is in trying to sneak price increases on the consumer by reducing product size while maintaining per-item price. I spoke to one of their customer service people recently about this phenomenon and they admitted that they had reduced the volume of most cereals by 8-9% while maintaining the same per-box cost, but denied that this represented a price increase! Come one Kashi, at least call a spade a spade; consumers are not the idiots you think they are.

I eat this just about every day. Coupons are hard to find….be nice to put one on/in the box!

I have this every single morning and it is AMAZING! Im a busy high schooler and this honestly gets me through my mornngs which start at 4:30am. I load it up with fruit and I wake up craving it! Great cereal!

My wife and I have made this our #1 cold cereal. It’s great. We especially enjoy it with some fresh fruit, whatever’s in season.

Love this cereal and the fact that it has so much protein! Eat it every morning! THank you!

Perfect way to start my morning, I love the diffent flavors together!!

I’m experiencing the same problem…no store in my city has any! I need the high protein, low sugar start to my day.

I love this cereal. I used to make my own granola but since trying Crunch I no longer make my own. This is delicious.

Help – can’t find the Original GoLean anywhere in the New Orleans metro area. I am a diabetic and don’t want additional sugar in my diet!

How dare you describe this cereal as “healthy” and “natural” when it actually contains GMO soy! I’ve been eating it religiously for a very long time and now I will no longer buy Kashi products.

Scary stuff. DO NOT EAT anything from this company. Shame shame.

kaki1114 There is a lawsuit. All it takes is a simple google search and you can read for yourself what was found in the cereal :(

Studies show GMO foods are BAD- linked to sterility, kidney disease, liver disease, amongst too many other problems to name! I can’t believe I’ve eaten Kashi all these years thinking I was avoiding GMO. Shame on you for your deceit, and shame on me for not researching what “all natural” actually means, which is NOTHING. http://www.responsibletechnology.org/ Read and STOP BUYING GMO! I know I won’t be purchasing ANYTHING Kashi until they cut it out of their ingredients. Shame on you.

Chris159, you a doctor? because I’m pretty sure you talk a big talk that lacks a bit of validity. I would love to see some studies that support your claims. Feel free to post here. Especially randomized controlled trials. Double blind of course.

Id’ recommend that you Kashi company Take out GMO’s ingredients, please that way you still stay in buisness. and not lose all you’re customers.Please make some improvements to this cereal.This cereal is good it’s just that you need to make better choices. not GMO’S find something else? Organic maybe?.

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING – DO NOT EAT KASHI CEREALS UNLESS YOUR GOAL IS FOR DETERIORATING OVERALL HEALTH!!!

GMO products, which kashi cereals contain, are not recognized by the human body and can cause many diseases including cancer. Return all your kashi cereals to the store immediately as I am doing today and AGAIN DO NOT EAT ANY KASH CEREALS. Kashi has been lying to you for years by not staing that they use GMO ingredients on their package and stating that it is a natural, healthy cereal when they in FACT know it is not healthy. SHAME ON YOU KASHI – May you quickly go out of business as this word spreads!!!

I just learned that all kashi cereals contain GENETICALLY MODIFIED INGREDIENTS. This is absolutely pathetic and Kashi has been lying to the customers by not labeling their products having GMO ingredients. Also, Kashi has ingredients from CHINA (Cheap China Crap) the most polluting country on the planet. Shame on you Kashi. I will be spreading this word vehemently to all I know including the media and will NO longer purchase any of your products. CC

I have IBS and this cereal has kept me running normally for the first time in years. I just feel better after eating it and it also has the added effect of making me feel full enough so that I’m carried through until lunch time. I used to be anti-cereal, well not anymore.

I just found out that Kashi GoLean has GMO soy. Is this true? Does Kashi use GMO soy in other products? If so, I am done with Kashi.

I love this cereal. I just had a baby and am trying to shed the extra baby weight so I eat this on the mornings I do a bootcamp style workout. It gives me so much energy and is so filling.

How much of the protein comes from SOY? Is it processed, GMO????

The only way you can improve this cereal is if you’d just 86 those GMO soy products and hexane sludge.

I mix Heart to Heart cereal with a bit of the Go Lean. As a combo, it is great together and keeps the sweetness down. Go Lean on it’s own is too sweet. My 3 year old daughter loves the “sticks” only in the Go Lean – would love if Kashi just made a “sticks” only cereal! She thinks the other parts are too sweet. I mix Heart to Heart cereal and the sticks for her and she loves it.

The soy in this cereal is 100 percent genetically modified.

I will NEVER purchase another Kashi product again! Genetically modified organisms? Seriously Kelloggs?!

12 grams sugar is too much. In Los Angeles I see many Kashi boxes askwed, ingredient label facing aisle on shelf, shppers comment, “too much sugar.” A few sales lost. A bag of organic snack crackers 1 gr sugar, 3 gram protien. Maybe 7 grams sugar?

This is the cereal of choice in our home.. Good and good for you!

I eat Kashi Go Lean Original for breakfast and then snack on some dry Kashi for an evening snack. It’s even better with a sprinkle of cinnamon!

Has anyone had any luck losing weight with Kashi? I’m trying to cut out simple carbs and saturated fats. Kashi leaves me feeling full and I’m hoping that this will help with weight loss. I like to carry a baggie of Kashi with me, along with a few almonds, in case of an emergency hunger attack—-it does the trick! I love the protein in it because I don’t really care for eggs in the morning. Great product—Thanks!

I love this cereal. It’s tasty and good for me!

I have been a long time Kashi users but I just tried Kashi GoLean Crisp. I didn’t like it, it just was way too sweet. I believe the people that use your cereal are like me, don’t want alot of sugar. In fact, we are trying to eliminate it from our foods. Toasted Berry Crumble isn’t a fit – didn’t finish the box.

Kind of reminds me of twigs.

I love all your cereals and breakfast waffles! I’d really like if you guys introduced a new “super” cereal like the original GoLean just to keep people interested. Please think about it! Kashi cereal is a part of my every day, and I have it at least once a day for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

My wife and I really do like all of your products that we have tried so far. An issue has come up recently to the effect that some soy protein products are made with a process using hexane to dissolve the oils. What about the soy protein that your company uses?

However, I would also recommend Kashi to make their products organic! It’s makes a huge difference. And non-GMO soybeans would be a big improvement. If it doesn’t say non-GMO, they are almost definitely GMO.

This cereal doesn’t have “natural flavours” as an ingredient… I agree that it can be a deceptive ingredient in many “natural”-style foods, but it’s not listed in the Kashi GOLEAN Original.
It seems to be a healthy food choice and in any case, better than frosted flakes!

Wow, I find this very disturbing about the Petrochemical Hexane. Does anyone have a great ceral recommondation?

yuck!!!!it contains genetically modified ingredients and is produced using petrochemical hexane.

Its delicious! I add cut up banana and some almond milk. Yummy in my tummy. :)

Why is Kashi not willing to list all the ingredients, the listing of “natural flavors” (something listed on many processed foods) is something I will point out to all my family and friends and tell them to avoid all Kashi products. Most likely this flavor is produced in the flavor factories in NJ and are not natural as advertised. Furthermore, why do you feel the need to add cane juice twice as well as honey. I find this cereal to be way too sweet. Let people glob on the sweetner of their choice if they need to add sweetners. 90% of the soy out there is man made and something that is not good for you. People in Japan eat about two teaspoons of fermented soy, not the globs of soy shoved down the throats of North America

Very filling, tastes great with some blueberries and raisins

Wish you’d make an organic version. GMOs, hexane rinsed soy protein and I don’t get along very well :(

I recently tried this cereal and LOVE it! The nutritional stats are FABULOUS (13 grams of filling protein, 10 grams of fiber, and only 140 cals) and it tastes delicious! There is just enough sweetness so I don’t even have to add Splenda. I like my cereal topped with fresh blueberries and a few almonds! Yummm :)

Ohhhh, no! I like this cereal so much, but didn’t realize all that protein was coming from soy! Ah, Kashi, why? I want to eat it but soy protein is so upsetting to my tummy! Just a heads up to anyone else with a soy intolerance… it’s in some of their granola bars, too. :(

I used to be a real fan of Kashi products until I realized how misleading your advertising is. You talk a big game about “7 whole grains on a mission,” and “natural,” “whole,” foods, but you neglect to inform us that a significant portion of the ingredients in many of your products are likely genetically modified. Even if you don’t care about GMOs, this particular cereal (and probably others) lists “soy protein” as an ingredient, which, for the uninformed, is acquired by using a hexane solvent. That’s right, hexane, which is a byproduct of gasoline refining, a neurotoxin and a hazardous air pollutant. Yuck. It’s really unfortunate, because I really did like this cereal. I wish you’d put your money where your mouth is and step up the quality of your ingredients to match what you’re saying. Until you do, I’ll be buying my cereals from companies that do.

Trying all 4 of the Kashi cold cereals and have a Q about the calorie count(s). They seem a bit low if you do the calculation by hand … for example a serving of GoLean Original has a listed calorie count of 140/serving but if you add up the protein (13g x 4 cal/g) + carbs (30g x 4) + fat (1 g x 9) you get 181 calories, a big difference.

So, what’s the story? The other three cereals are also higher but not quite as much (20-28 cals). I understand rounding or truncating fractions but this should only give you 8.5 cals worst case …
