Cinnamon Protein Breakfast Cereal

I'm still in utter shock that it was possible for this cereal to have zero carbs. If the net carbs weren't crazy enough, factor in the taste and texture and I'm SHOOK! The taste of this cereal is obviously pretty sweet because of the allulose, but once it soaks in milk (i used almond milk) a bit it's perfect. In addition, this cereal doesn't get soggy at all?!?! It's wild! The crunch factor is there -- the texture is just like regular ol' cereal. Compared to other keto cereals, I can say hands down this is the best keto cereal. Honestly in terms of protein cereal, I would say this is the best protein cereal I've ever had before too!! An excellent breakfast treat that will keep you satisfied and FULL. Obviously the only not so great thing about this cereal is the price vs the portion size but if you have room in your budget to splurge a little, this would be the product to do it on!

This was a massive disappointment for me. The only positive was it did taste good for artificial cinnamon flavor but otherwise it's awful. Here's a list of the reasons it's terrible. 1. The texture. It's sticky, a constant stale texture that's like a chewy crispy texture. It's a very fresh box. Good for 1.5 years after I purchased so it's not stale bit the texture leaves so much to be desired. Not satisfying 2. Portion size. The portion size is pathetic. It wouldn't be enough for a toddler. You almost guaranteed have to do at least 2 servings for a normal bowl of cereal. If you do the recommended portions size its like you poured a tablespoon in a bowl. Completely disappointed because it cuts the amount of servings in the box by half! 3. The price. $11 for what would be 8 servings would be ok but 1 serving is pathetic like I said before. So it's $11 for 4 bowls of cereal, if you can even make it through a whole box! This stuff will not help your cereal cravings at all. You'll still be wishing for a real bowl of cinnamon toast crunch or something similar because this doesn't come close.

Honestly this is my least favorite high key cereal flavor. I absolutely love the chocolate and the vanilla is delicious as well. But unfortunately this flavor was far too overpowering. The cinnamon flavor almost burns your mouth. I have heard people saying this tastes like cinnamon toast crunch but that is a lie. Cinnamon flavor is closer to cinnamon flavored candy. Into the consistency of the cereal is very hard and crunchy, imagine your Rice Krispies is overly stale. Almost cuts the roof of your mouth. Sorry but I'm just being honest, this flavor was disappointing and I will stick with the chocolate end vanilla flavors for now until I get a chance to try the fruity flavored. As a keto dieter it is hard to find cereals that fit into my diet and I unfortunately will have to pass on this flavor from now on. I honestly would rather eat cereal School again than this.

I ordered the Cinnamon flavor through a "price reimbursement" ad on FB. I've been doing Keto since early this year, and had done low-carb for 2 years over 15 years ago. Wow, has the product landscape changed, and much for the better. I'm a big fan of Cinnamon Life cereal, but you have to eat it within minutes of pouring the milk into the bowl otherwise it's sloppy mush. So having a cereal that maintained its crunch and texture for awhile was a delight. I don't care for overly-sweet cereal, and I found the taste to be pretty good, and I didn't have any funny aftertaste. While the packaging says 8oz, and a serving is half a cup, I think I can get about 6 servings out of this. (I use a 1/4 cup measuring spoon and fill it over the brim twice.) I usually am a serving-and-a-half person, but this is pretty filling and has not given me any stomach distress. Pricey, but if you a quick morning meal that's low cal and low carb, this is a good product. I'll definitely try more of their offerings.

Full disclosure: I received this product via purchase reimbursement. I have tried most of the major competitors to this cereal in the market and there are some things I like about this cereal and some I dislike. I mix my high protein cereals with high fiber ones, so I'm not probably the typical consumer for this type of cereal because I'm in no way keto. I just like cereal without all of the sugar. Likes: It has a crispy rice cereal sort of texture which is different from the other brands out there and it mixes in nicely with some of the high fiber brands I combine it with. The cinnamon flavor is big which I like because you can really taste it. The nutrition specs are good on this cereal and it doesn't go to mush in milk. Dislikes: It has a bit of an aftertaste - not terrible especially since I mix mine, but it's definitely there. The packaging sucks and isn't too sturdy which isn't really that big a deal. The big kicker is the price per volume. It's expensive - even more so than some of the other brands in this market which is hard to stomach. Almost $12 for an 8 oz. box is just too much for most people. I keep hoping the price on these cereals will go down as availability spreads, but it hasn't happened yet and it really needs to. Would I buy this product again? Yes, probably - especially since you can get it on Prime with fast shipping which is nice when you want it in a hurry. I'm keen to try the frosted version because that tends to be my favorite and I'll probably order a box in the next month sometime. I'd say this one is worth giving a try if you have the money, just be aware it's no Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I got the very small box of this cereal and to be honest the flavor is not bad. I gave it 3 out of 5 because it was pretty good but had a small aftertaste that was a little off. That being said the value is horrible. The cost needs to come down to $6 to be worth it. That is still expensive for a box of cereal but for people who need to meet these dietary limits it would be a solid price point. I am glad I tried it and it satisfied my itch for cereal for a little while but I would not buy again unless the price comes way down.

But it's close. I'm not sure if they've altered the recipe since these bad reviews or if those complaining are just not accustomed to truly low-carb foods, but this is pretty good. I've been low-carbing for nearly seven years, and this is definitely the best sugary cereal substitute I've tried. The cinnamon flavor is REALLY INTENSE, but it pairs well with unsweetened almond milk. I'd actually recommend using the vanilla (rather than the original) almond milk with this to temper the cinnamon a bit, but honestly, I like this a lot. Will be buying again as well as sampling the other flavors. It's pretty costly but not exorbitant compared to similar products/health food generally.

I agree with those who found this cereal to taste from off. I know we do not all taste things the same. When I was a kid in school, we all put the strip of litmus paper on our tongues. Some experienced a bitter taste-- others tasted nothing. But, for me, a lover of General Mills Cinnamon Toast Krunch, this cereal was a HUGE disappointment. I haven't eaten Cinnamon Toast Krunch for several years as it is loaded with sugar. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't love it if I did. For $12 bucks for an 8oz box, I expected to be wowed-- or at least to consider the cereal to be pretty tasty. I doubt I will eat another bowl. I think the texture is okay-- certainly not light and crunchy-- but if the flavor was delicious, I would have been happy with the cereal. I will not purchase it again. I would not want to eat it if they offered it to me for free. :(
