This high protein chocolate almond cereal is best for low carb, dairy free breakfasts where macros matter more than dessert like flavor. The price stands out against other protein cereals, and it can work well with almond milk, Fairlife milk, or mix ins like peanut butter powder. The texture is the main tradeoff, with comparisons to Grape Nuts, chalkiness, and a very hard crunch that softens after a minute in milk. A practical pick if you want protein and can handle a rough bite.

  • The cereal can fit into a small one-cup serving, which helps keep sugar intake lower than expected per portion size.

  • The cereal is dairy free, which can matter for people avoiding whey or other dairy ingredients.

  • The hard crisps can soften after sitting in milk, which can improve texture for milk-based eating.

  • The cereal can work well for low carb and protein needs when other options feel limited.

  • The texture can feel extremely hard and unpleasant, with comparisons to toenails that some find inedible.

  • The taste can disappoint when expectations are set for sweeter, dessert-style cereals like Cocoa Pebbles.

  • The cereal can be chalky for some eaters, even if it may be subtle after repeated use.

  • Occasional packaging contamination can occur, including a reported moth issue in a sealed bag that required checking before opening.

Worst tasting cereal I've ever had but someone most like it since they're still making it. Good deal if you like it.

At this price. I'll be the judge. Let me know if you're interested in my judgement, once I receive and eat the cereal.

Grape nuts are certainly a jaw workout. I always preferrred Grape Nuts Flakes. It's a shame that they're so damned expensive or I'd still be eating them.

Been eating these for 3 years. get them when they are BOGO at Publix for about this average price. Sure its not the best, but for low carb and protein there are not many choices. I mix the choc + Vanilla along with some Fairlife Fat free Milk. good for me

My son said it was like eating toenails (texture wise, not flavor, but that's probably not too far off from toenails either).

I freakin love Grapenuts. The texture of this cereal makes it inedible for me.

5 grams of sugar in one cup. Not bad, but a cup fits in the palm of one hand, and is a lot less than people realize. Pouring a bowl of this is probably 3-4 cups, which is still relatively low in sugar, if you're diabetic.

Completely agree. As usual with high-protein substitutes, you need to lower your expectations. If you're expecting something as tasty as Cocoa Pebbles, you're going to be extremely disappointed.

Considering the price, taste, and macros, I am a big fan of this cereal. There are better-tasting high-protein cereals out there, but nowhere close to this price.

My favorite way to eat it is to mix it with a tbsp of PB powder, 1 cup of the cereal, and lite vanilla almond milk.

These are dairy free, which is important for whey protein-sensitive people.

Hello my earthling compatriots. Not sure what this says about me as a fellow human ... *blinks mouth* ... but I actually like this cereal and load up when there are mega deals on the 9oz or 30oz. It's not a jaw workout to me (my first and second jaw are not sore). It is perhaps a bit chalky, though not something I even notice at this point. Haven't tried the Mixed Berry flavor since chocolate is my preference. I pair it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Bearing in mind this is a protein cereal, it gets 2 waving tentacles of approval from me 👽️

does the PB powder thicken up the milk? or does it stay with the cereal flakes? Great idea

Unfortunately, it just thickens up the milk. So I have to keep the milk pretty minimal in order to avoid diluting the PB.
