Misfits Vegan Protein Cereal, Chocolate Flavour, High Protein, Low Sugar, Vegan Cereal, 2 Pack

Product Information

Choc cinnamon does not smell or taste at all like chocolate. If you were to do a blind taste test, you’d never know that this was a chocolate flavor. However, the cinnamon tells a different story. In fact, the cinnamon flavor of this cereal is one of the most potent smelling and tasting cereals I’ve ever experienced.

However, trying this cereal dry was very disappointing. Yes, you taste some chocolate, but it’s closer to the flavor of chocolate protein powder than it is actual cocoa powder. When you open the box, it smells like you just stepped into a bakery where all they bake are chocolate donuts topped with chocolate frosting. When I measured out a serving, I did realize that 40g of cereal is rather small. While that’s a typical serving size for cereal, since this one is so dense and compact, that 40g equates to very little volume.

Misfits helped me to stay away from the regular chocolates full of sugar. I've been addicted to sugar since young age. Not anymore. If you love the combination of chocolate and cinnamon, you’re going to be horribly disappointed by this cereal. Misfits co-founder Henry Sether said the NPD and rebrand would “widen our brand appeal and allow us to branch out into more categories and territories, cementing ourselves as a leading innovator in the plant-based functional food space across the globe”. Misfits launched its Protein Cereal in two flavors, Chocolate and Chocolate Cinnamon, which we snapped up following their launch to see how they measure up against the many other high-protein cereals on the market. There is a growing mountain of functional products in the cereal format, and many of them are incredibly on point and enjoyable, so Misfits Protein Cereal has its work cut out for it. Review

For someone like me - diabetic so naturally low refined carb, higher protein and higher fat is the way to go The NPD – which would not only target breakfastbut also midday and evening occasions – replicated “the sugary and non-nutritious cereal brands in the market, without the actual junk”, said Misfits. Misfits cereal is very crunchy, has decent flavor overall, and has an impressive amount of protein per serving.These bars are unbelievable for meeting the above criteria, I can’t believe how good they taste and a whole bar has 6.8g carbs of which 0.9g is sugar (hazelnut ones) Traditional breakfast cereals tend to be loaded with sugar and are low in both fibre and protein, a combination that will send you on a blood sugar rollercoaster. Instead, look for a cereal that is high in protein, low in sugar and rich in fibre – these are the three macronutrients to be looking for. Bonus points if you can find a cereal that contains lots of nuts and seeds, which add additional protein and fats to create a more balanced meal.” – Clarissa Steer Clear Of Sweeteners

( Soya ) The chocolate Misfits cereal definitely improves in milk, but not substantially. That bitter aftertaste is almost completely eliminated when eaten with milk, which is awesome, but the overall chocolate flavor is still very much subpar. I suppose that’s why they don’t list the cup measurement alongside the weight measurement on this one. An overwhelming number of food products that claim to be healthy are made with artificial sweeteners – this means brands can make claims about a cereal being low-sugar whilst still tasting sweet. However, regular consumption of artificial sweeteners has been linked to changes in the gut microbiome and they are something I advise my clients to actively avoid. At the same time, look out for real sugar on an ingredients label, which can be disguised as cane juice, dextrose, isoglucose, jaggery, maltose and barley malt.” – Clarissa Watch Out For Wheat

Made with just nuts, seeds, natural flavouring like vanilla extract and either coconut oil or butter, these clean, low-carb and high-fat granolas get the nutritionists’ vote. “There is very little processing here, which is ideal,” says Sarah. “The ingredients are either left raw or gently baked, so the nutritional value isn’t interfered with. The cereals are also free from preservatives, which can be disruptive to the gut microbiome.” However, if you are on a low-fat diet, Clarissa says this granola is best avoided. “There’s 16g of fat per 30g bowl, which is a small portion. Consider using it as a sprinkle on yoghurt rather than eating a whole bowl if you’re watching your fat intake.” The smell of this cereal reminds me of a really strong evergreen air freshener, and the taste reminds me very much of Big Red gum because the cinnamon flavor is so strong. They are vegan, low in sugar and gluten-free. Each 40g serving provides 14g protein and weighs in at under 150 calories. Being 100% vegan, low sugar, and high protein, I have to admit that my expectations for the cereal going into this review were extremely low.

What can I say, misfits have really set the boundaries high for a vegan protein bar that provides 15g of protein and still taste epic like a ‘standard’ chocolate bar. Totally recommend even if you aren’t vegan! 🤩 Extremely disappointed by this company's recent service. I have been a long and loyal customer. As a vegan these bars are ideal for me to get a protein hit. Misfits’ new vegan cereal launch follows on from a rebrand earlier this month, suggesting a potential change of direction for the company. “As our brand and community have evolved, so too has our image — we hope you guys love our new look as much as we do! With the same great taste, of course,” the brand said on social media. Surreal’s high-protein versions are a good alternative to other traditional wheat-based hoops. “Traditional cereals are typically low in protein and high in refined carbs, so by making the swap, you’ll be setting your blood sugar up for the day,” says nutritionist Clarissa Lenherr. “The protein here comes from soya and pea protein – good-quality sources – and natural sweeteners such as stevia and erythritol are nutritionally sound, too.” Surreal’s cereals also contain inulin, which is naturally sweet and is a good source of fibre for your gut. “Just keep an eye on portion size,” says Clarissa. “Sugar alcohols such as erythritol can cause bloating and gas for those with IBS.” Sarah Henderson, nutritional therapist, also points out that the frosted version contains sucralose. “Sucralose is an artificial sweetener that’s best avoided,” she adds. It had been created to target “mainly millennials and gen Z” shoppers who loved cereal but were “concerned about their health and what they consume”, the brand added.With 150 calories per serving along with 14g of protein, it’s the highest protein plant-based cereal I’ve come across. The chocolate Misfits cereal is one of the best-smelling foods my nose has ever had the privilege of sniffing. Misfits is a very popular brand overseas, and they’re doing their best to break into the US market now as well. The fact that this is not touted as a keto-friendly cereal is also appealing to me because I tend to enjoy products more when they have carbs to them. Granted, there is very little sugar and it is overall low in carbs, but it’s a bit more appealing to me than a keto cereal.
