Types Of Cereal

As all cereal lovers know, per the Big Bowl Theory, the cerealverse was created when the primordial whole grains of nature collided with the evolution of mankind (and plain milk). However, those grains, those types of cereal, still exist today and continue to be the pillars of the cerealverse.

But, do you know the types of cereal upon which the cerealverse is created? After millennia, do they fit into our 21st-century diets and lifestyles? And which do you think is the most important one in this evolution and why?

FAQs

Is cereal an American thing?

Breakfast cereal is as American as chocolate chip cookies and hot dogs. However, the road to today’s boxed delights was very winding. Originally invented as a digestive aid in 1863, it later (weirdly) took on religious overtones. Then it transitioned into a snack food before becoming a staple of the American breakfast.

What is the most popular cereal?

There have been numerous studies and in-depth research about this very question. There is no real consensus among all of the results, but the one cerealverse OG that hits the top stop the most is (drum roll) Cheerios. Cheerios consistently ranks as the world’s favorite cereal.

What’s the oldest cereal?

Breakfast cereal dates back to the late 19th century. We are talking Civil War-era guys. And the first breakfast cereal ever invented was granola (1863). However, some will argue that granola is not a legitimate breakfast cereal. So, the oldest breakfast cereal would then be Wheatena which was invented in 1879.

What country eats the most cereal?

Well, it’s not the United States, but we are in the top 5. With that said, there is a bit of bouncing back and forth from year to year among the top 5 countries. The latest ranking:

  1. United Kingdom
  2. Canada
  3. Australia
  4. United States
  5. Mexico

Final Thoughts

Well, there you are. The origin story of the cerealverse. The background of the Big Bowl Theory. So, what do you think? Which type of cereal has had the biggest contribution to the cerealverse, and which is responsible for your favorite cereals? Let us know.

Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds

Kellogg’s is one of the biggest cereal brands in America, and All-Bran Buds is one of its most popular products. Buds is a unique take on the classic bran cereal recipe, presenting the cereal in tasty clusters rather than traditional flakes.

Nutrition Facts

A standard serving (45g) of Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds contains the following:

  • Calories 110
  • Fat 1.5g
  • Saturated fat 0g
  • Trans fat 0g
  • Polyunsaturated fat 1g
  • Monounsaturated fat 0g
  • Cholesterol 0mg
  • Sodium 300mg

  • Fortified with vitamins and minerals

Is Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds Cereal Healthy?

In general, Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds is a healthy cereal. It contains low levels of fat and is packed with healthy vitamins and minerals. However, there are 12g of added sugar in every bowl of the cereal, which is relatively high for a bran-based product.

Is Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds Cereal Gluten-Free?

The main ingredient in All-Bran Buds is wheat, so the cereal is definitely not gluten-free.

Is Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds Cereal Vegan?

All-Bran Buds is fortified with vitamin D3, which is commonly sourced from sheep’s wool. Although Kellogg’s doesn’t say exactly where their vitamin D comes from, it’s probably safest to avoid this cereal if you follow a plant-based diet.

Is Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds Cereal Keto?

A single bowl of All-Bran Buds contains 36g of carbohydrate, meaning the cereal can’t be considered Keto-friendly. A Keto diet specifically focuses on low-carb, high-fat eating.

Is Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds Cereal High in Protein?

You get 5g of protein with each serving of All-Bran Buds, which is above average for a breakfast cereal. We wouldn’t say All-Bran Buds were high in protein, though.

Is Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds Cereal High in Fiber?

Yes, All-Bran Buds is a very high-fiber cereal. Bran cereals, in general, are known for providing a great amount of fiber in every bowl. With All-Bran Buds, you get a whopping 17 grams of fiber per bowl, amounting to over 60% of an adult’s recommended daily intake.

Although it is possible to consume too much fiber, it’s generally a good idea to get a good level of fiber intake with your breakfast if you can.

Post Raisin Bran

There are plenty of raisin bran cereals around, but our favorite has to be the one made by Post Consumer Brands. Post manages to balance great flavor with nutrition in a cereal that is a pleasure to eat every single time.

A standard serving (61g) of Post Consumer Brands Raisin Bran contains the following:

  • Calories 190

Is Raisin Bran Cereal Healthy?

Is Raisin Bran Cereal Gluten-Free?

Like most wheat-based bran products, Raisin Bran is not gluten-free.

Is Raisin Bran Cereal Vegan?

Like Kellogg’s All-Bran Buds above, Raisin Bran is fortified with vitamin D3. Again, it’s unclear whether this is sourced from sheep’s wool or a vegan source. For this reason, we can’t say that Raisin Bran is strictly vegan friendly.

Is Raisin Bran Cereal Keto?

With a whopping 48g of carbohydrates in every bowl of Post Raisin Bran, the cereal isn’t suitable for those following a Keto diet.

Is Raisin Bran Cereal High in Protein?

Raisin Bran contains a standard amount of protein: 5 grams per serving.

Is Raisin Bran Cereal High in Fiber?

With 9 grams of fiber per bowl, Raisin Bran can definitely be considered a high-fiber cereal. It doesn’t contain as much as All-Bran Buds, but you’re still getting a good amount with each portion.

Nature’s Path Flax Plus Raisin Bran

The next cereal we have for you is Nature’s Path Flax Plus Raisin Bran. Like Post’s bran cereal above, this Nature’s Path product blends juicy raisins with crispy and nutritious flakes.

Arrowhead Mills Organic Oat Bran Flakes

Is Organic Oat Bran Flakes Cereal High in Fiber?

Organic Oat Bran Flakes contain 4 grams of fiber in each portion. This is significantly lower than many of the other options we’ve featured above. This difference can be explained by the use of oats rather than wheat in the recipe.

19 Best Chocolate Cereals In 2025

Chocolate cereals have changed a lot over the decades, some for better and others for worse.

In this article, we’ll take a look at the current state of popular chocolate cereals, and establish what you can expect in terms of taste, nutritional value, and value for money.

  • Final Thoughts

Cookie Crisp

Cookie Crisp is a popular breakfast cereal from General Mills that tastes exactly as it looks – like miniature cookies! To create this cookie taste, General Mills uses whole grain corn, yellow corn flour, corn syrup, caramel color, and cocoa processed with alkali for the chocolate chips.

Like a lot of chocolaty breakfast cereal, Cookie Crip comes high in sugar, with 1 cup serving containing 12.1g. The cereal also lists brown sugar syrup as one of its main ingredients. This same serving size contains 133 calories, 29.3g of carbohydrates (making it unsuitable for keto diet followers), 1.8g of protein, and 1.5g of total fat.

Cookie Crisp may be considered vegan as it doesn’t contain any dairy products; however, it does contain sugar, which some consider to be non-vegan friendly.

 

Cocoa Pebbles

Post Consumer Brands have been making Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles since 1971. Inspired by the Flinstones, the rice-based Cocoa Pebbles is the longest-running cereal to be linked with a movie or TV show.

Although delicious, and despite their name, Cocoa Pebbles don’t actually contain any real chocolate, but an alkali processed chocolate. A 1 cup serving of Cocoa Pebbles contains 140 calories, 1.5g total fat, 31g carbohydrates, 0.5g dietary fiber, and 12 grams of sugar.

This makes Cocoa Pebbles unsuitable both for those looking for a healthy breakfast cereal and for those looking to reach ketosis.

Other ingredients in Cocoa Pebbles include caramel color, salt, rice, and BHT for freshness.

 

Kashi GO Chocolate Crunch

If you need a non-GMO, vegan, and high fiber product that also features some delicious chocolate chunks, consider getting Kashi Go Chocolate Crunch. This cereal features clusters made up of whole grain oats, semisweet chocolate, puffed whole-grain blend, canola oil, soy lecithin, and soy flakes, amongst other natural flavor additions.

This is the healthiest option on this list as it features 7 grams of fiber per serving – this is over twice as much as you’ll find in the likes of Chocolate Cheerios. Although it features 10g of sugar, it makes up for it through the product’s high vitamin content.

 

Chocolate Chex

Chocolate Chex is not overly chocolatey, with just half of each Chex square being coated in chocolate. However, it does provide a good option for those looking to balance out the chocolate sweetness with the plain and savory chequered side.

Plus, the side that is coated uses real cocoa, which maximizes the flavor. However, like all chocolate cereals, sugar is unavoidable. A standard 0.75 cup contains 8g of sugar, which is still not great but better than some other chocolate cereals. The cereal is pretty low in fiber and protein, offering just 2g of both per serving.

Chocolate Chex is unsuitable for keto-followers, given its large 36g carbohydrate count per serving.

 

Count Chocula

Count Chocula forms part of General Mills’ Monster cereal range, having been considered one of the best chocolate cereals since its initial release in 1971. The cereal consists of whole-grain corn puffs in the shape of ghosts mixed in with chewy pieces of marshmallows that are in the shape of flying bats.

Although pretty strong in terms of chocolate flavor, the cereal doesn’t actually contain any real chocolate. Instead, it features cocoa processed with alkali alongside sugar (12g per serving), cornmeal, and corn syrup. Featuring one of the highest carbohydrate counts on this list, with 30.7g per serving, this product should be completely avoided for keto followers.

In terms of protein and fiber, this product only features 1.3g of each per serving.

 

Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme

Using 100% whole grains, this product from General Mills is meant to replicate the taste sensation of Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme chocolate bar using corn puff cereal shapes. The cereal features whole grain corn, soybean oil, dextrose, salt, whole wheat flour, and natural and artificial flavor to create the Cookies ‘n’ Creme taste.

Just as you should only indulge in real Hershey’s chocolate once in a while, you should really only eat the cereal alternative as a one-off treat occasionally. Its total carb count is 21g, 1g of which is dietary fiber and another 9g of which is sugar. Because of this sugar count, the product can’t be considered vegan. It also cannot be considered keto-friendly.

 

Special K Chocolatey Delight

We consider Special K Chocolatey Delight to be one of the best chocolate cereals because they get the balance just right between the chocolate chunks and the rice and whole wheat flakes. If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to standard chocolate cereal but don’t want to miss out on the sweet cocoa taste, then consider Special K Chocolatey Delight.

A pretty nutritious option, Chocolatey Delight Special K provides consumers with a decent source of fiber and protein, with around 3 grams of each found in each serving. Real cocoa can be found in every spoonful, adding to the overall enjoyment but also adding to the cereal’s sugar count, which is 13g per cup serving.

Chocolatey Delight Special K features D3, which makes it unsuitable for vegans, and its high carbohydrate content makes it a bad choice for keto followers. It may come as a surprise, but Special K Chocolatey Delight also features brown sugar syrup.

 

Oreo O’s

Another chocolate cereal offering from Post, Oreo O’s, is for fans of the Oreo cookie. The O’s themselves are made from corn and oats, with a creme coating featuring chunks of Oreo. This makes for a crunchy, sweet, and incredible moreish breakfast cereal that can either be consumed first thing or throughout the day as a snack.

But, is there any nutritional value to this chocolate cereal? Well, the cereal does feature 25% of the daily recommended intake of iron. However, it also features 13g of sugar and basically no fiber or protein. They are not recommended for vegans or keto dieters, as they may contain dairy and have 26g of carbohydrates per serving.

 

Chocolate Frosted Flakes

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Chocolate Cold Breakfast Cereal, 24.7 oz

Chocolate Frosted Flakes should be purely seen as an occasional indulgence, considering that a single serving contains 15 grams of sugar! This product is also particularly high in carbohydrates, palm kernel oil, and processed cocoa, none of which should be regularly consumed.

This product is just like regular Frosties, except they feature a thick coating of chocolate, so they are arguably, less healthy for you than the original product. Like seemingly all of the best chocolate cereals, this product is not officially vegan-suitable due to it containing questionable ingredients such as sugar and vitamin D3.

Chocolate Lucky Charms

As if Lucky Charms weren’t unhealthy enough, General Mills went a step further in 2005 by releasing Chocolate Lucky Charms. A lot remains the same in the chocolate alternative version of the classic cereal, except the whole grain corn cereal shapes are chocolate coated – the marshmallows remain the same.

Chocolate Lucky Charms feature a number of unhealthy ingredients, including colorings and additives such as red 40, blue 1, and yellows 5 & 6. Because of the inclusion of swine gelatin and D3, this product cannot be considered vegan, nor can it be considered keto.

 

Kellogg’s Krave Chocolate Cereal

A relative newcomer, Krave has only been available in America since 2012 but has made a big impact in that time. The real chocolate found in the center of these crispy shells (made of oats, rice, and wheat) is what makes consumers crave this product.

In terms of nutrition, this cereal provides 160 calories per 31g serving, 11 grams of sugar, and 24 grams of carbohydrates. Given that sugar is the product’s main ingredient, this cereal is far from being considered a healthy option. Another one of the product’s main ingredients is brown sugar syrup.

Its ingredient list also features milk, rendering it unsuitable for vegans, while its high carbohydrate count makes it a bad choice for followers of a keto diet.

 

Cocoa Krispies

Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies are much like their Rice Krispies counterpart, except with a layer of cocoa on the outside of these puffs. A classic breakfast product since the 1950s, this chocolate cereal is famous for turning the milk chocolatey and makes for a very appetizing way to start your day.

Being light and airy, these chocolate puffs are considerably low in fat and come with the bonus of featuring 11 different vitamins and minerals. This includes vitamin D!

Featuring 27g of carbohydrates, Cocoa Krispies also come with semisweet chocolate, hydrogenated vegetable oil, vitamin B6, and iron, amongst other ingredients, vitamins, and minerals. The inclusion of vitamin D3 makes them questionably non-vegan, and their high carb count definitely makes them unsuitable for followers of keto.

 

Cocoa Puffs

Perhaps better known for the whacky bird called Sonny that promotes this cereal, Cocoa Puffs are a General Mills product and have been a prominent chocolate cereal for decades now. They’re basically a chocolate version of General Mills’ Kix cereal, with added chocolate and sweetness.

Like a number of other cereals to make this list, Cocoa Puffs aren’t exactly healthy; however, they aren’t the worst chocolate cereal out there. They’re fortified with vitamins, including vitamin b2, b1, a, b12, d3, and many others. The downside of this is that a number of the vitamins listed are animal-derived, making this cereal unsuitable for vegans.

 

Cocoa Crunch

Great Value Cocoa Crunch Cereal, 20.9 oz

If you’re looking for an affordable cereal with chocolate flavoring, check out Cocoa Crunch from Great Value, available at Walmart! Great Value aims to live up to the company name by providing not only an affordable price but cereal that is packed with plenty of vitamins and minerals, too.

This corn cereal features 12 vitamins and minerals, including zinc, vitamin b12, and iron. It is also free of saturated fat, making it a good choice for weight watchers! It does feature a lot of carbs, tho, making it a bad choice for keto diet followers.

 

Chocolate Toast Crunch

Not only does General Mills use real chocolate for Chocolate Toast Crunch, but they also use real cinnamon, making this one of the most unique cereals with chocolate flavoring to make this list. To add to the irresistible flavor, the ingredient list also includes coconut oil, sunflower oil, and rice flour.

Sugar is one of the main ingredients in this whole-grain wheat cereal, with 12g of it found in every cup serving. This tasty cereal may not be good to have every morning, but it certainly makes for a good indulgence once in a while – unless you are vegan or dedicated to keto.

 

Chocolate Honeycomb

Post Chocolate Honeycomb Cereal

Post’s Chocolate Honeycomb is the chocolate flavored equivalent to the standard Honeycomb variety, coming in the same shape but covered in chocolate! Post sometimes removes Chocolate Honeycomb from the shelves, only to bring it back shortly after due to popular demand.

The ingredients for this cereal include whole grain corn flour, whole grain corn flour, and 10g of sugar per serving. True chocolate lovers may be disappointed by the processed cocoa that gets put into this cereal but still satisfied enough with its sweet taste.

The cereal contains just 2g of fat and 2g of fiber.

 

 

Cheerios are a relatively healthy breakfast cereal option, and Chocolate Cheerios are too, except with added flavor! If you’re looking to avoid saturated fats but don’t want to give up chocolate breakfast cereals, then Chocolate Cheerios could be a healthy option for you.

You’ll find no fats, saturated fats, gluten, or cholesterol in Chocolate Cheerios. What you will find, however, is 1og of sugar and 28g of carbohydrates.

Generally, though, with 3g of both protein and fiber, and lots of vitamins, Chocolate Cheerios are by far one of the most healthy chocolate cereals available.

 

Frosted Mini-Wheats Little Bites Chocolate Cereal

Kellogg's® Chocolate Frosted Mini-Wheats Little Bites®

Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats work exceptionally well at soaking up milk and turning regular milk into chocolate milk. The taste is irresistible, thanks to the real cocoa used. They are titled Frosted Mini-Wheat Bites as they are half the size of the original Frosted Wheat Bites.

They come in the form of whole-grain wheat biscuits and provide consumers with a good source of fiber – an average bowl contains 6g!

Unfortunately, they are not vegan as they contain gelatin, amongst other ingredients derived from animals. They are also not keto, as they’re quite high in carbohydrates.

 

Chocolatey Peanut Butter Crunch

Cap'n Crunch's Chocolatey Crunch Cereal, 20 oz

Impressively, this Cap’n Crunch offshoot product contains real cocoa and is also fortified with vitamins and minerals, including zinc and iron. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, this chocolate-peanut flavored cereal combines two great flavors into one cereal and manages to remain relatively healthy.

Although it does use a lot of natural flavors, it also has some unnatural additions, such as red 40 and blue 2. It also only contains 1g each of both dietary fiber and protein, which is really low for a breakfast cereal. Other additions include folic acid and BHT.

 

Hershey’s Kisses Cereal

Hershey’s Kisses Cereal, 19.8 oz

Another cereal inspired by the country’s leading chocolate brand, Hershey’s Kisses Cereal, guarantees to satisfy your chocolate cravings whenever they might hit. Featuring genuine Hershey’s cocoa, this crunchy whole-grain corn cereal delivers in terms of taste and is shaped to look like kiss candy, hence the name.

Of course, this delicious taste has got to come with a price. Hershey’s Kisses are quite high in a lot of negative areas. For example, the cereal provides you with 140 calories per serve, in addition to 12g of sugar, 31g of carbohydrates, and 1.5 grams of fat.

 

FAQs

Is chocolate cereal good for you?

It really depends on which type of cereal you buy. Things like Chocolate Cheerios balance out the sugar content by containing no saturated fats and a decent protein and fiber content. Cereals like Chocolate Toast Crunch, on the other hand, don’t have as many redeeming features.

Do Chocolate Cheerios taste good?

If you’re looking for a lighter-tasting chocolate-based cereal, Chocolate Cheerios is definitely weaker in taste than the likes of Chocolate Toast Crunch. If you’re looking for a stronger chocolate taste, you may not enjoy Chocolate Cheerios.

How many calories are in a bowl of Special K Chocolatey Delight cereal?

In a standard, one-cup serving (42g) of Special K Chocolatey Delight, you’ll find 170 calories.

How much fat is in Cocoa Puffs?

In a standard, one-cup serving (36 grams) of Cocoa Puffs, you’ll find 1.9 grams of total fat. This is much less than the likes of Chocolate Toast Crunch.

 

Final Thoughts

Cereal featuring chocolate, by default, isn’t exactly the healthiest cereal available. All of the cereals listed above included sugar, from Chocolate Toast Crunch to Chocolate Cheerios. Sugar is necessary to attain the chocolate flavor; however, some cereals compensate for this by being high in fiber and low in the likes of high fructose corn syrup, like Kashi GO Chocolate Crunch.

Overall, chocolate cereals are good now and again, but they should not be relied on to provide you with nutrition daily.

Bear Naked Granola

Bear Naked is one of the leading producers of delicious, nutritious, and healthy breakfast granola. The brand offers a wide variety of flavors and always uses high-quality ingredients. Most importantly, Bear Naked has a selection of high-protein cereals for an amazing morning boost.

Nutrition Facts

A single serving of Bear Naked Granola Protein Original Cinnamon (59g) contains the following:

  • Total Fat 12g
  • Saturated Fat 1g
  • Trans Fat 0g
  • Polyunsaturated Fat 4.5 g
  • Monounsaturated Fat 6g
  • Cholesterol 0mg
  • Sodium 100mg
  • Total Carbohydrate 31g
  • Dietary Fiber 5g
  • Total Sugars 12g
  • Incl. Added Sugars 10g
  • Protein 11g

Ingredients

Bear Naked mainly contains a mixture of whole grains and nuts, with some further ingredients thrown in to improve the taste and binding:

  • Whole grain oats
  • Honey
  • Roasted soybeans
  • Expeller pressed canola oil
  • Soy crisps (soy protein isolate, rice starch)
  • Dried cranberries (cranberries, cane sugar, vegetable glycerin)
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Soy protein isolate
  • Cinnamon
  • Ground flax seeds
  • Natural flavoring

Is Bear Naked Granola Healthy?

Since Bear Naked contains a load of healthy ingredients such as oats, fruit, and seeds, you get plenty of nutrition with every single bowl. It’s also important to point out that much of the fat in Bear Naked comes directly from “healthy fats” in the nuts. Healthy fats can reduce cholesterol and boost heart health.

Naked Granola does contain quite a high amount of sugar, with 10g added to sweeten the cereal.

Is Bear Naked Granola Gluten-Free?

Bear Naked’s Protein granolas are not certified as gluten-free since there’s a chance of cross-contamination on the production line. However, the recipe itself does not contain any sources of gluten.

If you do want to try a certified gluten-free Bear Naked cereal, then you’re in luck! The company makes two flavors of grain and gluten-free granola: Maple Cinnamon and Dark Chocolate Almond.

Is Bear Naked Granola Vegan?

The Bear Naked high-protein cereals contain honey, so they are not suitable for vegans or those following a strictly plant-based diet.

Is Bear Naked Granola Keto?

Although Bear Naked is high in protein and fat, it is also high in carbohydrates. With 31g of carbs in every serving of Bear Naked, we can’t recommend the cereal for a Keto diet.

Is Bear Naked Granola High in Protein?

Bear Naked’s high-protein cereal products contain a whopping 11g of protein in every bowl. This might not be as high as some other protein-focussed cereals, but you’re certainly getting much more than you would from a standard breakfast cereal.

Is Bear Naked Granola High in Fiber?

You get 5g of fiber with each helping of Bear Naked Protein Granola. This equates to around a fifth of an adult’s recommended daily intake, which is pretty decent.

Bear Naked Granola Varieties

  • Banana Nut
  • Cacao & Cashew Butter
  • Fruit & Nut
  • Maple Pecan
  • Peanut Butter
  • V’Nilla Almond (low sugar)
  • Triple Berry (low sugar)
  • Maple Cinnamon Grain-Free
  • Dark Chocolate Almond Grain-Free
  • Protein Original Cinnamon (added protein)
  • Peanut Butter Crunch (added protein)
  • Protein Honey Almond (added protein)

Bear Naked Granola Store Brand Alternatives

There aren’t really any store-brand granolas that are packed with protein like Bear Naked’s offerings. However, if you’re just looking for good-quality, affordable granola, then we recommend Walmart’s Great Value Granola and Kroger’s Oat & Honey Granola.

Where You Can Buy Bear Naked Granola

Bear Naked Granola is widely available at places such as Walmart, Target, CVS, Kroger, and Amazon.

Famous Bear Naked Granola Commercials

Bear Naked’s most famous commercial is probably their Watching The Wildlife advert. The clip is very simple but manages to convey everything you need to know about the brand’s products.

 

Kellogg’s Special K Protein Cereal

Kellogg’s Special K range is known to contain the brand’s more health-focused cereal options. Special K Protein Cereal is a relatively new addition to this range and is quickly becoming a favorite amongst athletes and people looking for a boost of energy in the mornings.

Nutrition Facts

A single serving of Special K Protein Cereal (59g) contains:

  • Calories 210
  • Total Fat 1.5g
  • Saturated Fat 0g
  • Trans Fat 0g
  • Polyunsaturated Fat 0.5g
  • Monounsaturated Fat 0g
  • Cholesterol 0mg
  • Sodium 260mg
  • Total Carbohydrate 39g
  • Dietary Fiber 5g
  • Total Sugars 8g
  • Incl. 8g Added Sugars
  • Protein 15g

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat
  • Rice
  • Wheat gluten
  • Sugar
  • Soy protein isolate
  • Wheat bran
  • Cinnamon
  • Malt flavor
  • Salt
  • Natural flavors
  • BHT
  • Vitamins and minerals

Is Special K Protein Cereal Healthy?

Special K Protein is low in fat and contains healthy whole grains. It’s also fortified with a range of vitamins and minerals, which provide an extra health boost to each bowl of cereal. One thing to note, however, is that the sodium levels in Special K Protein are higher than most other breakfast cereals.

Is Special K Protein Cereal Gluten-Free?

The main ingredient in Special K Protein is whole wheat, meaning the cereal is definitely not gluten-free.

Is Special K Protein Cereal Vegan?

Special K Protein is fortified with vitamin D3. Unfortunately for those following a plant-based diet, D3 is sourced from sheep’s wool. As a result, Special K Protein is not suitable for vegans.

Is Special K Protein Cereal Keto?

Like the Bear Naked Cereal above, Special K Protein contains a high amount of carbohydrates in each bowl. This means that the cereal can’t be recommended for a Keto diet, despite its high protein content.

Is Special K Protein Cereal High in Protein?

Yes, as the name suggests, this variety of Special K is packed with protein. Specifically, you get 15g of the stuff in every single serving. These are impressive protein levels that many other high-protein breakfast cereals can’t compete with.

Is Special K Protein Cereal High in Fiber?

Special K Protein contains 5 grams of fiber in a single serving. This equates to around 20% of an adult’s daily intake. 5g of fiber is above average for a breakfast cereal.

Where You Can Buy Special K Protein Cereal

Special K Protein is available at Walmart locations all over America. If you prefer to shop online, then you can also pick up a box from Amazon.

Famous Special K Protein Cereal Commercials

Special K Protein hasn’t had many dedicated TV commercials over the years. However, there have been a number of iconic ads for the regular Special K products. One of those is the classic Good For You, Linda! ad from 1975.

 

Magic Spoon

Magic Spoon is a brand that has taken off over recent years. Thanks to a focus on low-carb, high-protein breakfast cereal, Magic Spoon has become the darling of the Keto world.

You don’t have to be following a particular diet to enjoy Magic Spoon, though. Their cereals come in a wide range of flavors and are all truly delicious.

Nutrition Facts

A bowl of Magic Spoon Fruity contains the following:

  • Calories 150
  • Fat 8g
  • Saturated fat 1g
  • Polyunsaturated fat 0g
  • Monounsaturated fat 0g
  • Trans fat 0g
  • Sodium 160mg
  • Potassium 19mg
  • Cholesterol 10mg
  • Carbohydrates 4g
  • Dietary Fiber 1g
  • Sugar 0g
  • Protein 13g

Ingredients

  • Milk protein blend
  • Sweetener blend
  • Oil blend
  • Tapioca starch
  • Chicory root inulin
  • Natural flavors
  • Salt
  • Turmeric extract
  • Spirulina extract
  • Vegetable juice

Is Magic Spoon Cereal Healthy?

One of the first things you’ll notice when looking at a Magic Spoon nutrition chart is that their cereals all contain quite a high amount of fat. However, the majority of these values are made up of “healthy fats,” which work to lower cholesterol. Only 1g of the fat is saturated.

The cereal is low in carbs, so it won’t provide that instant burst of energy that many people expect from their breakfast. Of course, this isn’t the point of Magic Spoon. The cereal is targeted at people who are actually looking for low-carbohydrate breakfast options.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal Gluten-Free?

Since Magic Spoon is completely grain-free, it’s also totally free of gluten! Finding tasty cereals that don’t contain gluten can be tough, but Magic Spoon is definitely here to change things.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal Vegan?

Thanks to the use of a milk protein blend in the cereal’s production, Magic Spoon is not a vegan product. The brand has even announced that they have no plans to develop a vegan alternative in the near future.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal Keto?

Absolutely! Anyone who follows a Keto diet will know that options are limited when it comes to breakfast cereal. Magic Spoon’s high-protein, low-carb balance is perfect for anyone committed to the Keto lifestyle.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal High in Protein?

You get 13g of protein in every portion of Magic Spoon. This isn’t quite as high as Special K Protein, but it’s definitely sufficient.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal High in Fiber?

One drawback of Magic Spoon is its relatively low fiber content. You only get 1 gram of fiber per serving, which is quite a lot less than most breakfast cereals. The lack of fiber is due to the avoidance of carb-heavy grains during the production process.

Where You Can Buy Magic Spoon Cereal

For the most choice in flavors and the best multi-pack deals, shopping direct at the Magic Spoon store is probably your best bet. You can also pick this Keto cereal up at your local Walmart or via Amazon.

Famous Magic Spoon Cereal Commercials

Since Magic Spoon is a fairly new brand, you’re not going to find any classic vintage ads like you would with other cereals. However, this advert manages to capture all the best things about Magic Spoon in one short clip.

 

Premier Protein

No conversation about protein-rich breakfast items would be complete without discussing Premier Protein Cereal from Post Consumer Brands. If protein levels are your biggest concern, then you’re unlikely to find another cereal that packs this much of a punch.

Nutrition Facts

  • Calories 180
  • Total Fat 5g
  • Saturated Fat 1g
  • Trans Fat 0g
  • Polyunsaturated Fat 1.5g
  • Monounsaturated Fat 2.5g
  • Cholesterol 0mg
  • Sodium 250mg
  • Total Carbohydrate 14g
  • Dietary Fiber 2g
  • Total Sugars 5g
  • Incl. 4g Added Sugars
  • Protein 20g

Ingredients

  • Wheat gluten

  • Wheat protein isolate
  • Pea protein concentrate
  • Corn flour
  • Sugar
  • Dried strawberries
  • Dried Raspberries
  • Salt
  • Strawberry juice concentrate
  • Stevia leaf extract
  • Natural flavor
  • Caramel color

Is Premier Protein Healthy?

Premier Protein is a fairly healthy cereal across the board. The fat and sodium levels are slightly above average, but the cereal contains a low amount of sugar and additive. The inclusion of nuts and dried fruits gives Premier Protein an additional health boost.

Is Premier Protein Gluten-Free?

As you may have noticed in the ingredients list, Premier Protein contains wheat gluten. If you do want to try a gluten-free product from the brand, then Premier Protein shakes are the perfect option.

Is Premier Protein Vegan?

Yes, the latest version of Premier Protein cereal is fully plant-based and suitable for those following a vegan diet.

Is Premier Protein Keto?

Premier Protein doesn’t contain as many carbohydrates as some other cereals on this list, but you’re still getting 14g of carbs in every bowl. For that reason, the cereal probably isn’t best for a vegan diet.

Is Premier Protein High in Protein?

This cereal is very high in protein. You get 20g of it in a single portion, which accounts for a massive 21% of an adult’s recommended daily intake. Getting a fifth of your day’s protein in your breakfast cereal is certainly a recipe for success.

Is Premier Protein High in Fiber?

Premier Protein only contains 2g of fiber per serving, which is below average for a breakfast cereal. This is because the cereal is made from wheat gluten rather than whole grains.

Premier Protein Varieties

Premier Protein is currently available in two flavors:

  • Mixed Berry Almond
  • Chocolate Almond

Where You Can Buy Premier Protein Cereal

You can buy Premier Protein directly from the Post Consumer Brands store or from Amazon. For in-store shoppers, Walmart and Kroger both carried the cereal in their locations.

Famous Premier Protein Commercials

Premier Protein isn’t known for producing memorable TV commercials. However, they do have a YouTube channel that contains a ton of content regarding the brand’s different products.

 

Kashi GO

Kashi GO Crunch (previously known as GO Lean Crunch Cereal) offers a breakfast bowl that balances healthy whole grains with a nice helping of protein power. The cereal comes in a couple of flavors, with the Cinnamon variety offering the highest amount of protein.

Nutrition Facts

The Cinnamon flavor of Kashi GO Crunch has the following nutritional values:

  • Calories 210
  • Total Fat 5g
  • Saturated Fat 0.5g
  • Trans Fat 0g
  • Polyunsaturated Fat 1.5g
  • Monounsaturated Fat 2.0g
  • Cholesterol 0mg
  • Sodium 200mg
  • Total Carbohydrate 37g
  • Dietary Fiber 11g
  • Total Sugars 11g
  • Incl. 9g Added Sugars
  • Protein 13g

Ingredients

  • Soy flakes
  • Whole grain oats
  • Cane sugar
  • Soy protein concentrate
  • Whole wheat flour
  • Seven Whole Grain
  • Sesame flour
  • Brown rice syrup
  • Degerminated yellow cornflour
  • Chicory root fiber
  • Canola oil
  • Oat fiber
  • Cinnamon
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Natural flavors
  • Mixed tocopherols (vitamin E)

Is Kashi GO Cereal Healthy?

Kashi GO Crunch contains plenty of nutritional value, especially in the fiber and carbohydrate categories. The cereal also features some “healthy fats,” which are great for reducing cholesterol levels.

On the sweetener front, GO Crunch has 9g of added sugar in every bowl. This is quite high but is still lower than many “mainstream” products you’ll find on the cereal aisle.

Is Kashi GO Cereal Gluten-Free?

Since GO Crunch contains a range of whole grains, it isn’t a gluten-free cereal.

Is Kashi GO Cereal Vegan?

Most of the Kashi GO Crunch flavors don’t contain any animal-derived products, making them suitable for anyone following a plant-based diet. These varieties are certified vegan, meaning there’s no risk of cross-contamination with dairy products in the production line.

However, be aware that some of the flavors (such as Honey Almond Flax) aren’t suitable for vegans.

Is Kashi GO Cereal Keto?

With 37g of carbohydrates in a single bowl of Kashi GO Crunch, it’s fair to say the cereal isn’t Keto-friendly.

Is Kashi GO Cereal High in Protein?

The Cinnamon version of GO Crunch contains 13g of protein, which is a pretty good amount for a protein cereal. When you consider the other health benefits the cereal provides, it certainly seems like a good deal.

For some reason, the other varieties of Kashi GO don’t have the same level of protein content, but they all contain 9 to 11 grams of protein per serving.

Is Kashi GO Cereal High in Fiber?

One of the best things about Kashi GO Cereal is that it’s extremely high in fiber. This is thanks to the use of whole grains in the cereal’s recipe. You can expect around 11g of fiber in a bowl of Kashi GO.

Kashi GO Varieties

There are six varieties of Kashi GO currently available on the brand’s website:

  • Peanut Butter Crunch
  • Cinnamon Crisp
  • Honey Almond Flax Crunch
  • Original
  • Crunch
  • Coconut Almond Crunch

Where You Can Buy Kashi GO Cereal

Kashi GO cereal is widely stocked at Walmart and Target stores across the US. You can also buy it online from retailers such as Amazon.

Famous Kashi GO Cereal Commercials

Kashi GO’s Marathon commercial from 2011 is probably the brand’s most well-known. The advert shows the cereal being handed out in egg-shaped boxes at a race. The point of the commercial is to highlight that a bowl of Kashi GO has the same protein content as an egg.

You might be surprised (and excited!) to hear that Original Lucky Charms is totally gluten-free. Thanks to the company’s advanced filtering system, you can rest easy knowing that there’s no chance of cross-contamination with gluten sources in the production process.

Is Lucky Charms Cereal Healthy?

Lucky Charms isn’t a cereal that is well-known for being healthy. The main culprit behind this reputation is the sugar content. Every bowl of Lucky Charms contains 12g of added sugar, which is about as high as it gets in the cereal world.

Lucky Charms also don’t offer much in the way of nutrition. The oats are fortified with some vitamins, but the fiber content is limited.

Is Lucky Charms Cereal Gluten-Free?

Lucky Charms are completely gluten-free. The company uses gluten-free oats that are carefully filtered to remove any contaminants from the farming stage.

Is Lucky Charms Cereal Vegan?

The marshmallows in Lucky Charms contain gelatin, which is a product sourced from animal fat. Because of this, Lucky Charms isn’t suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Is Lucky Charms Cereal Keto?

A Keto diet is built around the idea of low-carb, high-fat eating. Since Lucky Charms contains 30g of carbohydrates per serving, this cereal doesn’t fit the Keto requirements.

Is Lucky Charms Cereal High in Protein?

A bowl of Lucky Charms contains 3g of protein, which isn’t really very much. However, this is a standard amount for cereals that aren’t advertised as being “protein-rich.”

Is Lucky Charms Cereal High in Fiber?

With only 2g of dietary fiber per serving, Lucky Charms definitely isn’t at the top of this category. The limited amount of fiber can be explained by the use of oats rather than wheat in the recipe.

Where You Can Buy Lucky Charms Cereal

Lucky Charms is an extremely popular breakfast cereal, and as such, you can find it at practically any grocery store in the country. If you prefer to shop online, then you can source your Lucky Charms from Amazon.

Famous Lucky Charms Cereal Commercials

There have been countless memorable Lucky Charms commercials over the years, but none are more classic than the original 1964 advert. This clip first introduced American audiences to the cereal’s cheeky mascot: Lucky the Leprechaun.

 

Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats

First introduced back in 1941, Cheerios continue to be a dominant force in the cereal world. General Mills has barely changed the original whole-grain recipe since the early days, which has always been naturally gluten-free.

Cheerios Whole-Grain Oats is a simple yet delicious cereal that is perfect for kids and adults alike.

Nutrition Facts

Each serving of Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats contains the following:

  • Total Fat 2.5g

Ingredients

As the name suggests, this Cheerios product is mostly made up of oats. The rest of the ingredients are thrown in to add flavor and bind the mixture together:

  • Whole Grain Oats
  • Whole grain corn starch
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Tripotassium Phosphate
  • Vitamin E

Is Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal Healthy?

General Mills manufacturers a range of different Cheerios products, and Whole-Grains Oats is the healthiest of the bunch. Thanks to its low sugar content and lack of saturated fat, Cheerios is a cereal that you can enjoy guilt-free.

Is Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal Gluten-Free?

Oats are completely gluten-free, and there are no other ingredients in the recipe that contain gluten. General Mills does say there’s a chance other grains could contaminate the oats during farming and transportation. However, the brand takes steps to ensure the chances of this are very slim.

Is Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal Vegan?

Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats doesn’t contain any products derived from animals. The cereal is therefore suitable for vegans and those following a plant-based diet.

Is Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal Keto?

Cheerios Oats contains 29g of carbohydrate in every serving. Since a Keto diet focuses on low-carb, high-fat eating, Cheerios do not fit the requirements.

Just like Lucky Charms, Cheerios cannot be considered to be Keto friendly. A single serving of the cereal contains 29g of carbs.

Is Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal High in Protein?

Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats offers 5g of protein per serving, which equates to 10% of an adult’s recommended intake. Compared to other standard breakfast cereals, Cheerios Whole-Grains provide an above-average level of protein.

Is Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal High in Fiber?

With 4 grams of fiber in a bowl of Cheerios, you get 18% of your daily requirement. This isn’t as high as some other cereals on the market, but it’s still a respectable amount.

Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal Store Brand Alternatives

If you can’t find Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats in your area, or you’d like to find a more affordable alternative, then we highly recommend Walmart’s Toasted O’s. This cereal has similar nutritional values to Cheerios.

Where You Can Buy Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal

Many of the major grocery store chains, such as Walmart and Costco, stock Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats. You can also find gluten-free Cheerios at Amazon and other online retailers.

Famous Cheerios Whole-Grains Oats Cereal Commercials

When it comes to iconic Cheerios adverts, none are more iconic than the Jingle Ad first shown in 1979. With the Cheerios jingle ringing in the background, an active family shows off their skiing prowess.

 

Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes

Ancient Harvest takes a unique approach to the idea of a gluten-free cereal by using quinoa in place of whole grains. The brand’s Quinoa Flakes product is advertised as a “hot cereal” and is more comparable to oatmeal than corn flakes.

However Ancient Harvest chooses to describe the cereal, we can tell you that it tastes great, especially when it’s mixed with fresh fruit and nuts. It’s also super healthy too, which is certainly a bonus.

Nutrition Facts

  • Calories 150
  • Total Fat 2g
  • Saturated Fat 0g
  • Trans Fat 0g
  • Cholesterol 0mg
  • Sodium 0mg
  • Total Carbohydrate 26g
  • Dietary Fiber 3g
  • Total Sugars 5g
  • Incl. 0g Added Sugars
  • Protein 6g

Ingredients

You’ll struggle to find a more simple ingredient list than this:

  • Organic white quinoa flakes

Is Ancient Harvest Cereal Healthy?

Ancient Harvest is undoubtedly one of the healthiest gluten-free cereals on the market today. The cereal is low in fat, contains no added sugar, and contains a reasonable amount of fiber.

Since Ancient Harvest doesn’t contain any other ingredients aside from quinoa, it isn’t the most nutritious straight out of the box. We highly recommend mixing the cereal with other items such as fruit and seeds to get the most out of the quinoa flakes.

Is Ancient Harvest Cereal Gluten-Free?

Since whole grains are substituted for quinoa, the cereal is grain-free and certified gluten-free.

Is Ancient Harvest Cereal Vegan?

As well as being a gluten-free cereal, Ancient Harvest is completely plant-based and vegan. Practically anyone can enjoy this unique breakfast cereal.

Is Ancient Harvest Cereal Keto?

Every bowl of Ancient Harvest contains 26g of carbohydrates. Even though this is significantly less than other grain-based cereals, the cereal still cannot be considered Keto.

Is Ancient Harvest Cereal High in Protein?

Ancient Harvest contains 6g of protein in every serving, which is pretty high for a cereal that is designed to be protein-heavy. This is thanks to the use of quinoa, which is naturally rich in protein. In fact, quinoa is a “complete protein,” which means it contains all nine essential amino acids.

Is Ancient Harvest Cereal High in Fiber?

The cereal contains 3 grams of fiber per serving, which is a fairly average amount. The fact that Ancient Harvest has managed to get this much fiber into their cereal without using whole grains is actually quite impressive.

Where You Can Buy Ancient Harvest Cereal

Ancient Harvest isn’t stocked at many mainstream grocery stores, but you can find it at health food stores such as Whole Foods Market. Alternatively, the cereal is available online at various places, including Amazon.

 

Magic Spoon

If you’re in the market for low-carb, high protein breakfast cereal, then you’ve probably stumbled across Magic Spoon before. This innovative brand has redefined the meaning of cereal and offers something completely different from many others on the market.

Nutrition Facts

A bowl of Magic Spoon’s Fruity variety contains the following:

  • Calories 150
  • Fat 8g
  • Saturated fat 1g
  • Polyunsaturated fat 0g
  • Monounsaturated fat 0g
  • Trans fat 0g
  • Sodium 160mg
  • Potassium 19mg
  • Cholesterol 10mg
  • Carbohydrates 4g
  • Dietary Fiber 1g
  • Sugar 0g
  • Protein 13g

Ingredients

  • Milk protein blend
  • Sweetener blend
  • Oil blend
  • Tapioca starch
  • Chicory root inulin
  • Natural flavors
  • Salt
  • Turmeric extract
  • Spirulina extract
  • Vegetable juice

Is Magic Spoon Cereal Healthy?

Magic Spoon is a healthy cereal. Although the cereal does have a relatively high-fat content, most of this comes from healthy, unsaturated fats. Only 1g of the total fat is actually from saturated sources.

Since Magic Spoon is a low-carb cereal, you’re probably not going to feel an immediate burst of energy like you would with a bowl of standard breakfast cereal. Instead, the slow burn protein content is more likely to keep you going throughout the day.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal Gluten-Free?

Magic Spoon doesn’t contain any grains, and therefore the cereal is gluten-free. The cereal is actually certified gluten-free, too, meaning there’s no risk of cross-contamination in any farming or production processes.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal Vegan?

Magic Spoon contains milk protein blend, meaning the cereal isn’t vegan. It’s unlikely that Magic Spoon will move into the vegan market anytime soon unless they can find a suitable replacement as their protein source.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal Keto?

Yes, the cereal is directly marketed as a Keto-friendly cereal. Magic Spoon is low in carbs while being high in fat and protein. These are the exact requirements for a Keto diet.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal High in Protein?

For a breakfast cereal, Magic Spoon is very high in protein. You get 13 grams of protein in a single bowl, which is a pretty impressive amount. The fact that Magic Spoon has managed to balance their protein content with wider nutrition and a great taste is a big win in our book.

Is Magic Spoon Cereal High in Fiber?

Magic Spoon does not contain much fiber, thanks to the lack of carb-heavy grains in the recipe. Although this is necessary to keep the cereal’s Keto credentials, it’s slightly disappointing not to have more than 1 gram of fiber in a bowl of Magic Spoon.

Magic Spoon Cereal Varieties

There are currently nine different Magic Spoon flavors available for purchase:

  • Fruity
  • Peanut Butter
  • Cocoa
  • Cinnamon Roll
  • Frosted
  • Honey Nut
  • Blueberry Muffin
  • Maple Waffle
  • Cookies & Cream

Where You Can Buy Magic Spoon Cereal

Shopping direct at the Magic Spoon store is your best bet if you want access to the most flavors and multi-pack options. Walmart also stocks most Magic Spoon varieties, or you can order online from Amazon.

Famous Magic Spoon Cereal Commercials

Magic Spoon is a relative newcomer to the cereal scene, so there aren’t any classic vintage commercials to share here. With that said, this advert lets you know what Magic Spoon is all about in one smart, concise clip.

A bowl of Cocoa Pebbles has the following nutritional value:

  • Calories 140
  • Fat 1.5g

  • Cocoa
  • Salt
  • Caramel color
  • Natural and artificial flavors

Is Cocoa Pebbles Cereal Healthy?

Unfortunately, you can’t really describe Cocoa Pebbles as a healthy cereal. The biggest culprit here is the added sugar content, which amounts to a whopping 12g per bowl. In addition, the cereal offers little to no fiber.

However, this gluten-free cereal is low in fat and cholesterol, which is definitely a positive on the health front.

Is Cocoa Pebbles Cereal Gluten-Free?

The “pebbles” in Cocoa Pebbles are made from rice, and there are no other ingredients introducing gluten to the recipe. The cereal is gluten-free.

In fact, Cocoa Pebbles recently got gluten-free certification. Being certified gluten-free means that your farming and production practices are very unlikely to result in any cross-contamination. Cocoa Pebbles can also be labeled gluten-free thanks to this accreditation.

If you have celiac disease, then Cocoa Pebbles offer a safe way to enjoy a delicious breakfast cereal in the mornings.

Is Cocoa Pebbles Cereal Vegan?

It is a little unclear whether Cocoa Pebbles are vegan or not. The cereal is fortified with vitamin D3, which can be sourced from sheep’s wool. However, the manufacturer doesn’t let us know where their vitamins come from.

If you follow a strict plant-based diet, then we’d recommend avoiding Cocoa Pebbles until more information is released by the brand.

Is Cocoa Pebbles Cereal Keto?

Thanks to the high carbohydrate content (31g per serving), Cocoa Pebbles isn’t a Ket0-friendly cereal.

Is Cocoa Pebbles Cereal High in Protein?

Cocoa Pebbles contains 2g of protein, which is fairly standard for this kind of breakfast cereal.

Is Cocoa Pebbles Cereal High in Fiber?

One of the most disappointing things about Cocoa Pebbles is that it contains less than 1 gram of dietary fiber in each bowl. However, this is most likely a necessary trade-off to keep the cereal gluten-free.
