Cereal

There’s something about the crunch of Kellogg’s Honey Nut Frosted Flakes that makes having a second bowl too easy.

The blend of sweet, treacly honey Frosted Flakes with just a hint of nut is a modest mix of flavors but one that will leave you wondering why it took so long for Kellogg’s to make.

There are no chocolate chunks or little marshmallows but if you’re looking for a simple sweet cereal that still provides all the vitamins and minerals as a bowl of regular Frosted Flakes, one that turns the milk into a delicious sweet treat with a slight maple taste, these Honey Nut corn flakes will do the job.

Let’s take a closer look at this honey nut cereal.

Are Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Healthy?

A bowl of this Frosted Flake cereal contains zero fat and zero cholesterol. So if you’re looking for a breakfast or a snack anytime, these could fit that bill. They also contain zero artificial colors or flavors, which have been shown to cause hyperactivity in children.

Then there’s the generous dose of 10 vitamins and minerals to help boost your body’s function and defenses at the start of the day.

However, this cereal is very high in sugars, with 33g of 38g being made up of carbohydrates, and we can safely assume these aren’t slow burn complex carbohydrates.

So with 33g of carbs making up the majority of a 140 calorie serving, the energy from this cereal will be short-lived, and you’ll soon find yourself craving a second bowl. This makes them great for a snack anytime but not a filling breakfast to keep you going until lunch.

 

Are Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Gluten-Free?

The honey nut flavor in this cereal is complemented by the classic malt of original Frosted Flakes, a flavor that’s acquired from barley, a gluten-containing grain, which unfortunately makes them off-limits for people following a gluten-restricted diet.

 

Are Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Vegan?

Luckily, the simple nature of this delicious twist on one of our favorite cereals requires no animal products so that vegans can enjoy them too.

 

Are Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Keto?

Keto diets are very popular nowadays and are more than just a fad diet. They involved restricting the body’s carb intake to an absolute minimum, no more than 20g a day, while increasing fat intake.

This creates a state called ketosis, where the body begins manufacturing ketones, a long-lasting energy source, from the fat instead of the carbohydrates it is no longer getting.

One serving of Frosted Flakes Honey Nut variety contains 33g, which will stop your body from being able to enter ketosis, as it will use carbohydrates as an energy source instead.

As well as this, it contains no fats at all, which are crucial to the production of ketones.

 

Are Honey Nut Frosted Flakes High In Protein?

This honey flavor cereal is very low in protein, with only 2g of protein in a 38g serving.

 

Are Honey Nut Frosted Flakes High In Fiber?

If we’re going by the FDA guidelines, which require foods to contain 5g of fiber per serving to qualify as high fiber, then no. Corn is a very low fiber grain, and this cereal contains less than 1g of soluble fiber.

 

Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Varieties

There were no variations made on this particular theme, but we do have a couple of alternatives if you’ve got a craving for maple syrup cereal in the morning.

Honey Nut Cheerios – The original, and some may say best, a combination of nuts and honey in a cereal, this has been America’s most popular cereal for years. Unlike Frosted Flakes, these are gluten-free, and they name almond flavor in their ingredients, so the nuttiness is a little stronger.

They are made with whole grain and have low cholesterol, which is great for lowering cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease, and containing 12 of your daily minerals and vitamins.

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes – These won’t be easily got as they’re from the UK, where they are one of the nation’s favorite Kellogg’s cereals. The Brits figured out that this blend was the best flake cereal before us, and it’s been at the top of the charts ever since.

Unlike Honey Nut Frosted Flakes, the glaze is a little lighter but no less sweet and is specked with crunchy slithers of almonds. If you want an international taste of Honey Nut Cornflakes, why not order a box from overseas so you can see how the British version compares.

 

Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Store Brand Alternatives

A honey nut flavor on our cereals is universally loved, so finding an alternative to this delicious cereal combination won’t be difficult. A couple of popular brands are Post’s Honey Bunches of Oats, Simple Truth’s Sweet Nut Cluster and Flake Granola, and those on a keto diet will be happy to try Incredi-Bowl’s Keto Friendly Frosted Flakes.

 

Where You Can Buy Honey Nut Frosted Flakes?

This cereal only got a limited release across stores, so it might be hard to find in the cereal aisle, but you may have more luck trying online retailers.

The combination of crunchy cereal pieces with little marshmallow chunks with just the right amount of bite is a strange blend when you think about it, but it’s one that just works.

So what we’ve got is a classic blend, but instead of the toasted whole-grain oat cereal of Lucky Charms, we have Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. That’s really the only major difference, so if you love Lucky Charms or any other marshmallow cereal, then chances are you’ll love these.

The change of texture, the extra crunch; you’d be surprised how much a simple change to your favorite cereal can make you feel like you’re trying it for the first time!

This one-time pairing of two breakfast favorites has finished now, but let’s take a closer look at this one-off marshmallow cereal treat for the whole family.

Are Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Healthy?

Frosted Flakes with Marshmallows isn’t a cereal we would buy for the health benefits but let’s have a look at the nutrition label anyway.

So like most cereals, this is very low fat, as most of the sweetness is derived from sugar. So if you’re looking for a delicious low-fat snack, then this fits that bill.

That is really the only thing we can highlight if we’re talking about the healthiness of this cereal. In a 31g serving, 26g is carbohydrates, and those are derived either from corn or the sugar in the magical unicorn marshmallows, meaning they are not complex and will be broken down quickly by the body.

Essentially, this means this cereal will not provide you with lasting energy throughout the day and may leave you with sugar cravings shortly after eating it. For this reason, it may be better as a late-night treat than a well-rounded breakfast.

The artificial colors and flavors have also been proven to sometimes cause hyperactivity in children. It’s always best to think of this variety of cereal as candy than a wholesome breakfast, and then the label won’t seem so bad.

 

Are Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Gluten-Free?

The malt flavor used in the frosting of Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes cereal is made using barley, a gluten-containing grain, so this cereal is not compatible with a Celiac or gluten-restrictive diet.

 

Are Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Vegan?

Regular Frosted Flakes are compatible with a vegan diet; however, they’re not with the addition of Lucky Charms marshmallows. The marshmallows are made with gelatin, a binding agent derived from the bones of cattle.

 

Are Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Keto?

When following a keto diet, the aim is to restrict carbohydrate intake to as close to zero carbs as possible while increasing fat intake. This forces your body into a state called ketosis, where it uses fat as the primary energy source to create ketones, a long-lasting form of energy.

It’s advised that no more than 20g of carbs should be consumed every day to allow ketosis to take place. With 27g of carbs in every serving, this cereal would stop your body from being able to reach ketosis until the carbohydrates had been used.

Further to this, fat is crucial for producing ketones, and you will need to consume a lot to give your body the fuel it needs for ketosis. Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes cereal contains almost no fat and will not help encourage this process.

 

Are Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes High In Protein?

This is not a good source of protein as there is only 1g of protein in a serving.

Cereals are generally very low in protein due to their ingredients being very similar; if you want a high protein cereal, however, there are specialty health brands with higher levels.

 

Are Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes High In Fiber?

The FDA states that food needs to give at least 5g of soluble fiber in each serving to qualify as high fiber. With only 1g per 31g portion, this cereal is not a high-fiber food.

 

Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Varieties

There were no alternatives to this cereal made; this combo is exciting enough without spicing it up even more!

But if you do need something similar, here are some suggestions:

Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes with Vanilla Marshmallows – This is exactly the same cereal; only the magical marshmallows are tiger paw-shaped treats. Other than that, you’re getting the same perfect combination of sweet, crunchy flakes and powdery marshmallows

Lucky Charms – It’s not even like we need to signpost this one, but if you want to try the original and best combo, then this mix of toasted oat pieces and marshmallows should be your go-to.

 

Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Store Brand Alternatives

Because of the popularity of this classic cereal blend with the entire family, you should be able to find a cheaper store-brand alternative.

 

Where You Can Buy Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes?

This team-up between two cereal favorites was only a timed release and is sadly no longer available online or in stores.

Strangely, over Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes’ 64 years on our grocery store shelves, not once have they made a cinnamon variety. So now that they’ve decided to do one, they decided to do it right.

Kellogg’s allegedly tried 100 different formulas before they settled with the formula for Kellogg’s Cinnamon Frosted Flakes, and when you take a bite of this crunchy and warming new cereal, you’ll know it’s been worth the wait.

These aren’t just regular Frosted Flakes with a dusting of cinnamon; oh no, Kellogg’s has baked the cinnamon into the frosting of each and every flake, so every bite brings that sweet and spicy combo.

By using this genius method, they’ve made what starts out as a tasty Cinnabon-style pastry that starts to develop a gentle spicy heat as you chew. This blend of sweet and spicy is such a great combination; you’ll wonder what took them so long.

In short, Cinnamon Frosted Flakes taste great and make for a tasty morning bowl of cereal. Let’s take a look inside the box of this deliciously crafted cereal.

Are Cinnamon Frosted Flakes Healthy?

There is no fat in a bowl of this cinnamon cereal whatsoever, so if you’re looking for a breakfast that will fit in with a low-fat diet, then this is a solid bet. It also contains zero cholesterol, combine that with the negligible fat levels, this cereal could also help reduce cholesterol.

It also uses zero artificial colors or flavors to get that extra sweet taste.

However, as you might expect from a deliciously sweet new cereal, we’re looking at a high sugar content. 14g of sugar goes into a 39g serving of this crispy cinnamon cereal; that’s more than one-third of a serving, which is pretty huge. There’s also zero fiber to go along with the healthy absorption of that sugar.

At only 110 calories per serving, with more than a third of that coming from sugar, these cinnamon-flavored crispy frosted corn flakes won’t provide lasting energy at the start of your day.

 

Are Cinnamon Frosted Flakes Gluten-Free?

A bowl of Frosted Flakes with the crispy cinnamon coating is not gluten-free.

Milled corn is the only grain in this cereal. It is a gluten-free grain, so we can assume that at some point during the manufacturing process of this variety of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, they share equipment or machinery with other cereals that use gluten-containing grains.

 

Are Cinnamon Frosted Flakes Vegan?

At a glance, Kellogg’s Cinnamon Frosted Flakes look suitable for a vegan diet, but there are two ingredients in these golden corn flakes we should consider.

The first is Vitamin D, which is often acquired from lanolin, an element of sheep’s wool. If this is the source, and it’s impossible to tell if it isn’t, these aren’t vegan friendly.

Secondly, when used in cereal, white sugar is often colored with calcium carbonate, which is derived from bone char, the product of roasted cattle bones.

Because it’s nearly impossible to tell if both of these processes are used, it’s hard to recommend this cereal for a vegan diet, so maybe you’ll want to avoid it just to be on the safe side.

 

Are Cinnamon Frosted Flakes Keto?

A keto diet requires less than 20g of sugar a day and a large fat intake in order to put your body in a state called ketosis, where the fat is broken down by your body into ketones, an alternative, long-lasting energy source.

One serving of this contains 34g of carbohydrates, which will stop your body from being able to reach ketosis. Furthermore, fat is crucial to producing ketones, and with zero of it, your body will have no fuel to manufacture them.

 

Are Cinnamon Frosted Flakes High In Protein?

With just 1g of protein in every serving, this cereal is a very low source of protein.

 

Are Cinnamon Frosted Flakes High In Fiber?

No, there’s only 1g of fiber in a bowl of this cereal, so it’s a poor source of soluble fiber.

 

Cinnamon Frosted Flakes Varieties

Sadly, Cinnamon Frosted Flakes was only a limited run and is no longer available, but don’t worry; there’s a permanent alternative.

Frosted Flakes with Crispy Cinnamon Basketballs combine original Frosted Flakes with puffed circle cereal rich with cinnamon goodness. With this version, we don’t get the full flavor hit of cinnamon in every flake, but the cinnamon balls give a great variety to the crunch and add just the right amount of cinnamon sparkle.

 

Cinnamon Frosted Flakes Store Brand Alternatives

Cinnamon is a beloved cereal flavor that most cereal brands have marketed their own version, here are some popular alternatives you may want to consider:

• Nature’s Path Organic Cinnamon Bun Flavored Rhino Rolls
• General Mills Cinnamon Gluten-Free Chex

Where You Can Buy Cinnamon Frosted Flakes?

Something about the combination of cereal and marshmallow just works. The way the soft bite of the marshmallow offsets a crunchy sweet cereal has made this blend a hit at breakfast time for generations.

Lucky Charms, Count Chocula, Marshmallow Mateys, the list of tasty cereals sprinkled with soft marshmallows goes on, so it’s a surprise that it took Kellogg’s so long to add marshmallows to their classic frosted flakes recipe. But it’s here now, and the combination of the sweet malt flavor of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes cereal and mini semi-crunchy marshmallows just works.

Unfortunately, this crispy frosted corn flakes special was just a limited-time release, so even though our taste buds can’t get to grips with it anymore, let’s have a look inside the box anyway.

Are Frosted Flakes With Marshmallows Healthy?

Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes cereal with Marshmallow contains zero fat and cholesterol. If you’re trying to maintain your cholesterol levels and reduce fat intake, this could be a good option.

They’re also a good source of 7 vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin D.

The marshmallows also contain three artificial colors, which have been linked to hyperactivity in children.

It has a high carbohydrate content of 36g, meaning all but 5 grams of this cereal is carbohydrate. Then when we see that there are also 150 calories in a serving, we can understand that this cereal is not designed to give lasting energy and should not be relied on to fuel us until lunchtime at the start of the day.

When we’re buying Kellogg’s frosted flakes cereal with marshmallows, we’re probably doing it for the great taste and not the health benefits. These corn flakes are designed to be a super yummy treat for the whole family and not a superfood!

 

Are Frosted Flakes With Marshmallows Gluten-Free?

The malt flavor used to create the sweet frosting of this breakfast cereal is made with barley, a gluten-containing grain, so it is unfortunately not compatible with those following a gluten-free diet.

 

Are Frosted Flakes With Marshmallows Vegan?

Frosted Flakes themselves are safe for vegan consumption; however, with the addition of marshmallows, this cereal is not suitable for an ethical diet.

Listed among the ingredients for the marshmallows is gelatin, a binding agent obtained from the bones of cattle. Sorry, vegans!

 

Are Frosted Flakes With Marshmallows Keto?

For a keto or ketogenic diet to be effective, sugar intake must be dramatically lowered so that replacing carbohydrates with fat as the body’s main energy source. This creates a ketosis state where the body uses fat to manufacture ketones, a long-lasting alternative energy source.

Unfortunately, the 36g carbohydrate values in this tasty snack are much too high to allow the body to reach ketosis; 20 g is the maximum suggested amount over a 24-hou24 hours

The fat content is also much too low to offer your body any fuel to create ketones. Because of these reasons, this cereal is incompatible with following a keto diet.

 

Are Frosted Flakes With Marshmallows High In Protein?

Frosted Flakes with Marshmallows contains only 2g of protein in a 41g serving, so it is very low in protein.

 

Are Frosted Flakes With Marshmallows High In Fiber?

For food to qualify as high fiber, the FDA states that it should contain 5g of fiber per serving. This frosted corn flakes cereal with marshmallows contains less than a gram of soluble fiber, so it doesn’t come close to this qualification.

 

Frosted Flakes With Marshmallows Varieties

Shortly after the release of this deliciously crafted cereal, Kellogg’s released two slight variations on the frosted flakes cereal with marshmallows format:

Chocolate Frosted Flakes with Spooky Marshmallows – If you’re a Frosted Flakes fan, you’ll be kicking yourself if you missed this limited edition Halloween special. Here, Kellogg’s combined crispy marshmallows with chocolate-flavored frosted flakes, creating a combination that sounds too good be to true.

Frosted Flakes with Vanilla Marshmallows – Here, we’re talking pretty much the same classically crunchy taste as the original Frosted Flakes with marshmallows but with a hint of vanilla flavor in those mini marshmallows. It also came with good doses of 7 essential daily vitamins and minerals.

 

Frosted Flakes With Marshmallows Store Brand Alternatives

The combination of any sort of cereal and mini marshmallows is so popular that every grocery store will have its own store brand to take on this treat for the entire family.

It’s hard to think of anything that can’t be improved by adding chocolate to it; this is especially true with chocolate cereal.

With this Kellogg’s Chocolate Frosted Flakes, we get all the sweetness of frosted corn flakes with a beautiful chocolate coating, and not to forget the bonus treat at the end: a bowl of chocolate-flavored milk.

You’ll get a sweet Cocoa Pebbles aroma from this blend, which is actually Kellogg’s second attempt at making a chocolate-infused corn flake cereal, and trust us, they’ve nailed it this time.

It’s not often we get to enjoy a flakey cereal with a chocolate flavor. Usually, chocolate is reserved for puffed rice or corn, so trying it with corn flakes is a fun, novel cereal experience.

The sweet cocoa flavor isn’t too overpowering, so every bite is a blend of chocolatey goodness with vanilla flavor notes. Not to mention the bowl of chocolate milk you get to enjoy once you’re finished!

Let’s take a closer look at Kellogg’s Chocolate Frosted Flakes.

Are Chocolate Frosted Flakes Healthy?

This cereal contains no artificial colors or flavors, nor does it use high fructose corn syrup to achieve its yummy taste.

It also contains zero fat and cholesterol, though this is common in cereals, which get all of their flavors from carbohydrates and not fats. So if you’re trying to stick to a low-fat diet or lower your cholesterol, these are safe options.

That being said, 33g of a 39g serving of this cereal is carbohydrates; 13 g of that is all sugar. So if one-third of a bowl is pure sugar, that tells us that this cereal is not going to fill us with lasting energy.

It’s more likely you will find yourself craving another bowl soon after you finish this one, and hey, there’s nothing wrong with having another bowl if you feel like one, but this isn’t a good cereal to provide a wholesome, nourishing breakfast to provide lasting energy until lunchtime.

 

Are Chocolate Frosted Flakes Gluten-Free?

Sadly this cereal isn’t suitable for a Celiac or gluten-restrictive diet due to the malt flavor that sweetens the frosted flakes. This flavor is acquired from barley, a gluten-containing grain, and could aggravate any allergies.

 

Are Chocolate Frosted Flakes Vegan?

At face value, this cereal is suitable for a vegan diet, but you may want to express a little caution whenever you’re considering a cereal with sugar in its ingredients.

Often, during the sugar whitening process, sugar is whitened with bone char, a product of roasting animal bones. So while this method isn’t explicitly used, it is a common practice, and it’s hard to find out whether a particular cereal has used it.

 

Are Chocolate Frosted Flakes Keto?

A ketogenic or keto diet is designed to create a state called ketosis, where your body begins to manufacture ketones, an alternative, and long-lasting energy source.

To enter ketosis, you must cut carbohydrates down to a minimal level, no more than 20g a day, and simultaneously increase fat intake, as your body requires fat to produce ketones.

This cereal contains no fat, so it will provide the body with zero fuel to create ketones, but more importantly, the 33g dose of carbohydrates in each serving is more than enough to knock your body out of ketosis for 24 hours.

 

Are Chocolate Frosted Flakes High In Protein?

Cereals are often ineffective sources of protein, and that’s true here, too, with only 2g per 39g serving.

 

Are Chocolate Frosted Flakes High In Fiber?

The FDA guidelines suggest that foods must contain 5g of fiber per serving to be considered high fiber. This cereal contains just 1g of fiber, which is relatively low as cereals go. Corn as a grain contains less fiber than other grains such as oats or sorghum.

 

Chocolate Frosted Flakes Varieties

Chocolate Frosted Flakes is still available for purchase, but it’s not on general release and can be tricky to find unless bought online. There are no different varieties of this particular cereal, but here are a few alternatives if you’re having no luck finding the original –

Cocoa Krispies – The same variation but this time on another classic cereal. Here you get the same chocolate taste but with smaller, softer cereal pieces drink up the milk and turn all soft and gooey, leaving behind the same sort of dark chocolate shake to drink straight from the bowl when you’re done; we won’t tell!

Coco Pebbles cereal – Another chocolate classic, this gluten-free, sweetened rice cereal is low in fat and cholesterol and stacked with ten essential minerals and vitamins, not to mention that yummy chocolate taste.

 

Chocolate Frosted Flakes Store Brand Alternatives

Every grocery store will have its chocolate-flavored cereal, rice, or corn puffs versions of this chocolatey cereal. A kid and possibly a koala-approved alternative would be Nature Path’s Organic Chocolate Koala Crisp Cereal or Nestle’s Koko Crunch Cereal which comes in fun little wheat curl shapes.

 

Where You Can Buy Chocolate Frosted Flakes?

You may struggle to find this cereal in stores, but you may have better luck checking out online retailers like Amazon and Instacart.
