I discovered this cereal called "golean" by kashis. It has 13 grams of protein per serving, 10 grams of fiber and only 140 calories! This seems way too good to be true. Everything in life seems like it's a double edged sword, so someone tell me if this is too good to be true or not?

kashi is good s**t

I don't like soy for protein, don't think it counts but its better than Cocoa Puffs...

no ***** it has tons of fiber and whole grains

so there is nothing bad about this stuff then? It's not too good to be true?

By the way, how does this cereal taste? It looks like it has a ton of good stuff and I might actually try it. I just eat shredded wheat right now with some egg whites in another dish, but I'm looking to try something new.

i used to eat that all the time, dont know why i stopped
its shaggin lovely

It looks ok too me. I don't know if I would choose this instead of oats but this could be a decent alternative. As for it being gods gift to man, nah. The protein source is weak as leip said. And it is still a refined grain. It does have a lot of fiber, thats nice. (But you have to use milk to eat it ewww)

I love that stuff. I don't eat it everyday though and when I do, I dont count it towards my protein intake.

The only thing that bothers me is its Soy heavy. In moderation Soy can be beneficial but i know how some people use cereals as a stable in their diet. For these people this could possibly be problematic.

That cereal made me feel so bloated and uncomfortable. Pay attention to how your body responds to all that soy...

it did the same thing to my boyfriend. anything with soy usually does though.

it doesn't seem to bother me at all.

Hmm, I guess your just special.

I like a lot of Kashi's products. Short of going to a specialty grocery store (that I don't have access to) - they are one of the best widely available brands imo, and actually taste decent enough to eat.

Personally, I don't notice any problems with soy, but I know some people are somewhat sensitive to it.
