    This is a great high fiber cereal that is good with fresh fruit and yogurt for breakfast It is filling and tastes better than other fiber cereals. Also good as a dry snack!

    I love this cereal. It is high-fiber, but also tastes good. I am also unable to buy this locally. I live in a fairly small town and have looked everywhere (entered my zip code here, too). Amazon does not sell this themselves (not eligible for Prime shipping) and the shipping cost is more than the cereal. I have asked my local store to carry it. Does anyone know the UPC code? The manager said it would be easier if he had it. Please don’t stop making this cereal!

    It is the best really high fiber cereal I have found. BUT—-I am terribly frustrated that I can’t find it in the stores anymore. PLEASE say you are NOT discontinuing it!!! I just ordered some from this web site and was disappointed to find it is on back order—-I hope that doesn’t mean it is no longer available.

      We discontinued the Cinna-Rasin Crunch version but the original is still available. We are sorry you are having a hard time finding it in a store near you. If you would be so kind to ask your local store to order some, that would be awesome. The UPC code is 1862702350. In the meantime, check out our online store at http://www.kashistore.com/ or Amazon.com. Thanks for posting.

    I have stopped buying Good Friends. The price locally of 3.29 for 13oz is too high. Many stores are dropping your product. Time to reconsider the price and/or size when I can buy 76.5 ozs. of Raisin Bran for $7.99. As the boomers age and enter retirement with fixed incomes your price point will lead to further reduction in purchases. Please have a sit down mtg. and reconsider product price.

    Kashi – Of your 94 total products, only this one, Good Friends, comes in a red box. The other 93 products are in white packaging. I’m highly curious as to what the reason is behind this to make this one product stand out against the other 93.

    Why isn’t Cinna-Raisin Crunch listed on the products page? Oh, please don’t tell me you are discontinuing it! I have a problem with the original… the little round things are so hard that I’ve cut the inside of my mouth on them a few times. I like the taste well enough, but before I eat the original I have to break up the round, flat pieces.

    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 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?

    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!!

    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.

      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

    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 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!
