Protein cereal: what is it, how much protein does it contain, and when should you eat it?

Protein cereal: what is it, how much protein does it contain, and when should you eat it?

One of cereal’s best qualities is that it turns into breakfast in about three moves. Protein cereal adds one more thing to the equation: protein.

What is protein cereal?

A cereal product in which protein has a prominent role in the formulation and nutritional profile. In the EU, the “high protein” claim has a specific condition: at least 20% of the product’s energy value must come from protein.

How much protein is in Nano Supps Protein CEREAL?

Flavour Protein / 40 g Product-data attributes
Chocolate 14.4 g Vegan, gluten-free, no added sugar
Cinnamon 14 g Vegan, gluten-free, no added sugar
Peanut Butter 14.4 g Vegan, gluten-free, no added sugar

When can you eat it?

Breakfast is the obvious answer, but cereal does not have a curfew. Have it as an afternoon snack, use it as a yoghurt topping, or grab a smaller portion when you want something sweet and crunchy.

Protein cereal vs. regular cereal

Not all regular cereals are the same, and neither are all protein cereals. For a meaningful comparison, use the same serving size and compare protein, fibre, sugars, energy and the ingredient list.

Three flavours, three breakfast personalities

Chocolate: sweet tooth, even at breakfast. Cinnamon: cosy-morning energy. Peanut Butter: for people who believe there is no such thing as “too much peanut butter” and would happily put peanut butter on peanut butter. The best cereal is the one that does not require a motivational speech in the morning. It is the motivational speech.
