Kashi "U" Enhancing Vitality of 5 Body Systems Heart, Immunity, Bone, Digestion and Mind
At Kashi, we believe you are what you eat. We also believe you are more than that. So we created a cereal from us to you. This is your cereal, for your life. And in life, everything is interconnected. Just as your systems work together, your body works with other bodies. And everybody unites to build our world.
Cardio Nourishment: Omega-3 fatty acids help nourish your heart and arteries. We think it's important to choose foods that are rich in plant omega-3s as well as omega-3s from seafood. That's why we put walnuts in Kashi U™ cereal; they're uniquely high in ALA omega-3, delivering 350mg of this good fat. Plus each yummy bowl contains 100% of the daily value for heart healthy vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid.
Immunite Boost: Eating fruits and vegetables, which are high in antioxidants, can help boost your natural defenses and support immunity. So there's 50% of your daily value of essential antioxidant vitamins! We've also included black currants and acai berry, two of nature's antioxidant superpowers, along with vitamin E and zinc for an extra boost.
Strengthen Support: Calcium and vitamin D are just as important for maintaining bone strength as an adult as they were when you were a child. Adding milk to your cereal is a good start, but many people are still not getting enough of these critical nutrients. That's why Kashi U cereal contains more calcium and vitamin D than a half cup of milk, plus adds magnesium and zinc to support bone health.
Thrive Inside: Kashi U cereal contains .7g of fiber to help promote healthy digestion. This includes 2g of prebiotic chicory root fiber, which helps promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract. These friendly bacteria help you get the most out of your food, so we like to help them thrive!
Mental Sustenance: Kashi U cereal is based on our unique 7 whole Grains & Sesame blend to provide your brain with sustained energy from complex carbs. Since your brain consumes 20% of your daily energy. It's important to feed it properly to keep your mind in tune.

Yummy AND healthy?! YAY!
This was excellent cereal. First off, portion size is 1 cup, which is fabulous--many cereals have tiny portion sizes. The flakes are crunchy and rich, the walnuts are large and fresh, the black currents offer a tart counterbalance, and the crunchies are just delicious. The health benefits are many, and the Kashi brand always has very high quality foods. I'm just totally impressed and loving this cereal. A++++++++!

Not Tasty!
I really hated this cereal. The overwhelming blueberryish artificial flavor was too much to take. I was truly disappointed, considering how expensive this cereal is.

Comments about Kashi "U" Cereal, Whole Grain Flakes & Granola with Black Currants & Walnuts, 13 oz:
When I received my box of cereal, I tried a handful and wow....the black currants are nice and tangy! Really delicious, healthy and different! I would consider this cereal to be a treat, as it's a little too pricey for me to purchase regularly.

This absolutely the very best cold cereal I have ever eaten, and it can be difficult to find in the stores, so I so thankful to be able to buy it on line at the Drug Store.

Comments about Kashi "U" Cereal, Whole Grain Flakes & Granola with Black Currants & Walnuts, 13 oz:
My husband has dubbed this his "favorite" of our multi-kashi lineup (our pantry has a huge variety at all times!). Our only gripe is that the flakes are a tad bit too sweet. I would like to see an overall reduction in the sugar/sweetener content with this products as well as the blueberry cluster heart to heart cereal. The walnuts and dried goji berries are a nice contrast in flavor in texture to the flakes. Pricing is a bit high but if you're like me, you might want to stock up when you catch a sale.

Comments about Kashi "U" Cereal, Whole Grain Flakes & Granola with Black Currants & Walnuts, 13 oz:
I was shopping at[...] and found U-Kashi bought the cereal because I liked everything about the information on the box and could hardly wait to get home to try it. To my delight it was all that I expected it to be and some . I could hardly believe I put milk on it and it stayed crunchy the whole time untill I eat all of it. I have bought other Kashi prouducts and have been satisfyed with all of them. But this was far beyound what I expected. I never had black currants before, wow what a unique taste. What a treat. Full of fiber and many other good healthy satisfying ingrediants. I woul recommend that everyone to try this wonderful prouduct.
