    Because of all its health benefits, I really wanted to love this cereal. I don’t. I find the Kashi Crunch with berries and some of the other Kashi varieties of cold cereal much better.

    I love this cereal! But it is also disappearing from all the stores in my area – Bedford, MA. Please don’t discontinue it…I love the high fiber, high protein, I like the flakes and it’s not too sweet as I don’t like to start my day off on the wrong foot. I’ve tried your Cinna-Raisin Crunch but it’s not for me. I like your Go Lean but it’s not flakes! Good Friends Original is the healthiest and yummiest cereal there is!

      I agree! This is a staple for me in weight loss and healthy snacking but is it becoming really hard to find. Please don’t discontinue. Pricechopper in MA used to carry it as well as Walmart and now it is not there.

    This is the basis for my own Kashi cereal mix… unfortunately, it is disappearing from all of Tucson’s grocery shelves!

    I need a cereal with low carb as I am type 2 diabetic. Even with the set off for fiber, most of which is insoluble, the carb units are high. What am I missing? Tastes good but people like me cannot afford 2-3 carb units for a bowel of ceral. How about a Kashi sytle bran flake?

      I too was diagnosed w/ Type 2 diabetes 12 years ago and this was the first cereal recommended to me by my diabetic nutritionist. I mix one box of GF, one GoLean & one Heart to Heart. I have used it successfully all these years EVERY morning with fruit and skim milk. I am no longer dependent on any medication and have great A1C levels at all my semi-annual blood tests.

    No store in Santa Fe carries Kashi Good Friends, our favorite cereal, despite what your store locator says. Frustrated, I’m ordering online and glad I can get it somehow even if I can’t just walk over to Whole Foods for it.

    Dear Kashi – please don’t make me have to start ordering my favorite breakfast cereal online!!! Good Friends Original is no longer available in ALL OF ORLANDO, FL and surrounding cities…that would be all of Orange and Seminole counties. It’s nowhere to be found, not even at Whole Foods, for goodness sake! This is crazy ridiculous as Orlando is no small town. Your store locator says it is available in ONE lonely Publix on Hoffner Rd. I drove 11 miles to buy it there once. I happened to be in the neighborhood today and hoped to stock up, but, ‘guess what?’…they no longer carry it. COME ON KASHIGIMME A BREAK!!

    This is my favorite cereal of all time!

  16. User_48

    Some cereals claim to have just as much fiber but if you look closer, the other guys only tell you “Dietary Fiber”. Kashi gives you the whole picture with – Soluble and Insoluble Fiber. Kashi has the highest Insoluble content that I could find!

  17. User_48

    Good, especially with a banana, but watch out for the sugar and fat content!

  18. User_48

    I feel like I am actually eating something! Good texture and chew. Not a sugary taste. Stays with me.

    It’s a crunchy, sweet treat after I workout. A half cup of almond milk poured over a serving of Good Friends Cereal really satisfies my hunger.

    THE BEST TASTE; MOST FIBER! WONDERFUL TASTE; VERY CRUNCHY; DOESN’T GET SOGGY IN MILK. I JUST WISH IT WASN’T SO DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THE STORE!

    Is this product being discontinued? I cannot find it within a 30 mile radius of my home anymore. This is disappointing because this is the best cereal I have ever had. Not a lot of sugar, good fiber, doesn’t cause a crash and burn an hour later like a lot of other cereals. Other options available (like those at Trader Joes) are no comparison. As a dietitian in a hospital I recommend this product to patients all the time, especially to those who have just had a heart attack or a stroke and are looking to increase fiber and decrease fat intake. Discontinuing this product is a huge mistake!!!! This cereal was definitely the cadillac option among cereals.

    I am however extremely disappointed in the fact that Trader Joes doesn’t carry this cereal. Actually I have a very hard time finding it!! So far it is only carried in Safeway! Why is this??? I used to eat it all the time and now it has become a treat. Very, very disappointing!

    1. User_48
      ba1na2 over 1 year ago

      You should be disappointed that Trader Joes does not carry this, as since Kashi has been acquired by Kellogg the integrity of the food is at stake with the company’s lax- and scary- stance on using bioengineered ingredients and also dont think that the fact Kashi is considered organic would make them exempt from this “Even organic ingredients can contain biotech ingredients due to cross-pollination” wow that just sounds like great quality control at work here! Its a shame, because these are some of the most delicious cereals Iv ever eaten. Link to the official statement: http://www.capwiz.com/grassrootsnetroots/issues/alert/?alertid=16041611&type=CU

    The original Good Friends is the best cereal I ever had. It’s getting harder to find, much to my dismay. The store that carried it (Acme) now carries only the raisin version, which is not as good, to my taste. And multiple requests from my other market have yeilded no response. Please try an expand your distribution!

    rgoolsbay commented on this. almost 2 years ago

    I absolutely love this cereal and have been eating it almost everyday for several years. I prefer the original rather than cinn/raisin because I can add nuts one day or coconut to change it up myself. It is getting more difficult to find the “original” as Kashi has come out with more cereals. Stores like Target & Walmart have stopped carrying now. I used to think the name of the cereal was silly, but realized that I had been telling all my good friends about it and laughed, “I’ll bet that’s why it’s called Good Friends!”

    The first time I tried Good Friends original I thought,”I don’t like this very much.”
    3 mornings later – I figured that I’d just finish the box – I thought, “This is good!” Now, over a year later I have been looking forward to this cereal every morning.

    I’ve searched two states for this cereal, it has always been my favorite, why isn’t it available anymore? I don’t care for the cinna-raisin one, I’m just not a cinnamin kinda girl, but the plain is fantastic. Please make this available again!!!

    No longer at Trader Joe’s. So sad. :( We had 14 boxes at one point and now we only have 1 left. Can we buy this anywhere else? We love natural, high fiber and low sugar cereals. Good Friends Original is perfect, except maybe a little high in sugar. I normally carry a box wherever I go…

    The only cereal I eat, but not available everywhere. I made a special trip to Trader Joe’s in Silver Spring MD to stock up, but they were out and it seems they no longer carry it. The last time I’ll shop there. Still available at MOMs in College Park, MD and the Shoppers Food Warehouse in Adelphi, MD (but not the mega Shoppers in College Park for some strange reason). Hooray for those who make the best of Kashi available to the masses!
