I was so excited to see this when I couldn’t find Kashi U anywhere (I had become obsessed). Unfortunately this cereal is close but NO CIGAR! The flakes aren’t as light and crispy and its just ever so slightly different. It makes me so very sad. Amazon is selling a 4 pack of U cereal for $30 and I actually thought for a few moments that sounded like a great idea. I decided to save my money… But that’s how good U is. Please please please Kashi, bring back the old recipe/formula!!! Thanks!!

Thanks for posting. We did not change the recipe, just the name. Sorry it is not tasting the same to you. If you would be so kind to call us at 877-7GRAINS (747-2467) we could gather some information from the package and send you a free product coupon to try another box.

I understand that this is similar to the U cereal- but it is not the same. Kashi U vs. Black Currant Walnut comparison: calories- 200 v. 210, carbohydrate- 42 v. 43 grams, sugar- 10 v 11 grams, protein 5 v. 6 grams. the only vitamins listed on the new replacement are vitamin c (25%) calcium (20%) and Iron (8%). the vitamins listed on the old product include vitamin A (50%) Vitamin D (25%) Vitamin B6 and B12 (100% each), twice as much vitamin C, Vitamin E (50%) Folic Acid (100%) and Zinc (50%)
I do not know why this company is pretending like they are the same product, even if the only difference is a slight difference in fortification.

The cereal just has a new name Black Current Walnut and matches our other boxes. We hope you can find it and enjoy your favorite cereal again.

This is absolutely my favorite Kashi cereal, however no one stocks it and when they do its always the one priced about $2.00 higher than all the other Kashi cereals, bummer. I hope the price hike is not for the “new look” because I like the old look better… Any chance you’ll have any coupons coming out for this cereal so its a little more affordable?

dmk1026 loved this. 9 months agoI am so incredibly excited that the cereal is available again in my area. It’s my favorite, and I was desperately missing it when my local grocery stopped carrying U. I happened across the newly branded Black Currant Walnut during a visit to Costco and it made my day. I can’t wait until breakfast tomorrow!

I love Kashi U! Everything about it is fantastic…except finding it. I resorted to ordering it off the internet because Walmart (the only store I could find it in) stopped selling it recently. I have no problem ordering it…I just hope they NEVER stop making it!

MissCaren over 1 year agoOh my gosh. I can’t believe how many people are addicted to this cereal as much as I am. I go thru 2 boxes a week. Kashi is the only brand of cold cereal that I like, and I love this one.

There are few foods I could ever imagine eating every day, much less by choice…but this is perfect in every way. I’m in NYC and am surprised I have to order it online…and freak out if when my box count gets below three. I mix it with a cup of my favourite yogurt and have eaten it every morn for about two years. My desire has yet to wane. The flakes are unlike any of your others and the best out there with their wonderful taste and lasting crunch that gives each mouthful a marvelous texture. The currents give a good tangy contrast. The walnuts are walnuts. I could do without them, but love the cereal, regardless. The nutrients are an added plus for me. ;-) Why not sell other versions of the flakes with assorted dried fruits and/or a variety of other seeds and nuts? Keep the great products coming!

trixos about 2 years ago
i feel like this variety is something for people with a more refined taste profile. It offers a plethora of textures and flavors, so it is great the way it is. There are other kashi cereal that can alternatively be used if you only want sweet/ crunchy, or would rather have without the currants or walnuts. this cereal is the meeting place for all of those, and should stay that way. my only comment: please make the packaging bigger (more servings). it is pretty expensive
Thanks

Daniiello didn't love this. about 2 years agoI really liked the taste of the flakes, walnuts, and oat clusters! However, I had to pick-out the currants and save them for homemade trail mix instead. They are too bitter with milk. I prefer to add fresh fruit, and the currants really did not go well with the milk/fruit combination! However, I liked how the flakes seemed more crunchier then other Kashi products.

I love the taste and crunch. I believe it makes for a healthy breakfast or sometimes an evening snack since I only do two “meals” per day. I was never a cold cereal person until “U” came along. I add more walnuts, frozen wild Maine Blueberries and Washington Red Raspberries from Target, fresh banana and Blue Diamond Original Almond Milk. I have it at least three times a week.

I love this cereal but i simply cannot find it anywhere – Your store locater states a chain of grocery stores in my zip code. I’ve gone to at least 4 and those stores do not carry Kashi U! – I suggest you verify before you put up those stores in your web site. Too bad i have to order cereal by mail and pay postage!!

I love Kashi, and Kashi U is my favorite cereal ever! However, I can no longer eat Kashi U because it is fortified with folid acid. I am writing to ask whether you would consider discontinuing such fortification; it is my understanding that foods made with whole grains are exempt from mandatory fortification requirements. Although it is thought to be impossible to get too much folic acid from natural foods like lettuce, a growing body of reliable research has demonstrated a link between increased rates of lung and colon cancer and high levels of supplemental folic acid in one’s blood; the increased rates of in these cancers has coincided with implementation of mandatory folic acid fortification of foods in the USA, Canada, and Chili; research studies conducted in Norway, where foods are not fortified, have corroborated these results. Many thanks for your kind attention to this important matter. Here is a link to reliable information re this issue: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35874922/

As you might infer from my user name, currants are one of my favorite foods. It’s unfortunate that they are so rare in North America, but Kashi has really hit the spot with this great combination of black currants, walnuts, and of course their delicious blend of seven whole grains and natural, minimally processed sweeteners. One glance at the nutrition label reveals that this cereal is truly a powerhouse of heart-healthy vitamins and minerals and even omega-3 fats. I am indebted to Kashi for providing a delicious, healthy vehicle for my currant cravings.

It was a bit on the super crunchy side, but after sitting in milk for a bit, it wasn’t so hard on my jaws to chew. Still, it was very flavorful and a great way to start off the day!

I love this cereal but I haven’t tried it yet but I know it will be my favorite
because I trust kashi. The only problem is that this product is very hard to find were i live, and Wish kashi would make more of this product and ship this beloved cereal out were I live because I’m craving for a deliciouse bite. So please kashi if your reading this help me out with this problem thank you. :)Log in or join the community to reply to this comment. -
I am addicted to this cereal, but have a hard time finding it, even at Albertsons. Beleive it or not, the military commissary was where I found it first and buy several boxes there whenever we go. It just does last long enough between trips. I too wish for larger boxes.

I eat it every morning, with hemp milk. U is very complex in its ingredients, and I don’t get tired of it. My local Whole Foods has had it on sale lately, and I’ve stockpiled it. I wish the boxes were bigger- I go through them quickly. The price around the country really varies- I’ve seen a variation of over $2 per box. I think U is the best cereal on the market today and I wish more stores carried it.

I absolutely love the new U cereal. Since being introduced to it by a friend, I’ve bought 3 more boxes. I just wish the box was bigger b/c I go through it so quickly. I love the perfect balance of whole grains with the tart berries- it’s the perfect blend and it’s healthy. I look forward to breakfast in the morning and starting my day with the U cereal. I also love the packaging and that there was a download for Mason Jennings inside- one of my favorite musicians. This cereal is unique and stands out for sure and should be heavily promoted. I rarely take the time to write about products but this one is well deserved. Great job Kashi team!!

This is great! The cereal is delicious and I really love the box. I know it sounds crazy but its such a responsible and incredibly positive thing to do for the Earth; not to mention it looks great and really stands out on the shelf! I’d love all packaging to be like that. In fact, have you thought of updating the rest of your product packaging?..

Kashi U saved my health. I was irregular and had many health concerns for six months. I tried many different things to change my health. I ate healthier, I exercised more. None of it worked until my roommate told me to try Kashi. I bought the first box I saw at my local Wal-Mart, and I have been hooked since then. I sometimes put in season fruits to add to the goodness. Try it with raspberries. Amazing!
