Great way to increase protein and fiber intake with ease
This is a great way to get extra protein and fiber in your diet. Nice and crunchy, holds up in milk and great even as just a crunchy snack. Like the variety of flavors, kids like it too especially peanut butter and chocolate.

Good… But not what you wish it was.
My hope for the purchase:I purchased this cereal hoping for a late night snack. Generally, I don’t need anything too sweet. I prefer to avoid processed sugar in most of my diet. Though, I’m not on any strict specific diet. I mention this to offer some insight into my palette. A little sweetness goes a long way with me (eg a flavorless latte is sweet enough for me in the morning). If you’re more used to vanilla syrup-style latte kind of sweet, scale back your expectations.For a snack like this, my priority hopes were:1. Crunchy (to satisfy the late night need)2. Sweet but not sugary (I don’t need a sugar high just before bed)3. Not “unhealthy” (I won’t say “healthy”, because processed cereals aren’t healthy no matter how much you scale back the sugar. But I wanted something healthier than Cinnamon Toast Crunch)How I got to FOUR stars:1. Flavor (up to 3 stars): 2/3 stars for flavor. You have to lower your expectations a bit when directly comparing to the sugar bomb general cereals. I don’t believe an avid Lucky Charms connoisseur would love this flavor. It certainly wouldn’t taste like anything if you took a bite/swig of something sweet just prior. Unfortunately, the subtle “sugar substitute-metallic-leafy aftertaste” is quite apparent after the pleasant initial flavor. I’m generally ok with this trade off. But it is more noticeable than some other “low sugar” products to do add small amounts of cane sugar to offset this aftertaste.2. Options (up to 1 star): 1/1 stars for options. Good flavor variety to choose from.3. Price (up to 2 stars): 1/2 stars for price. I realize the ingredients simply cost more than lucky charms (+1 star). But this price is excessive (-1 star). Perhaps it’s scalability and the manufacturer can lower price with added scale?To conclude, your review of this cereal will depend on your expectations (and sweetness palette) going in. Do not believe the hype that this “[tastes exactly like the big box sugary stuff].” It does not. But, if you just want a crunchy, relatively guilt-free snack and you’re willing to shell out the bucks, I think you might enjoy this.—-***update***I’m three bags in. Dropping this to three stars from four. It’s edible. But you really have to want it. To be willing to put up with the stevia aftertaste. I won’t be ordering again.

Great taste
This cereal tastes so good! So many of the cereals that are higher protein, higher fiber taste like cardboard, but not this one!

Satisfying - Keto Friendly
This cereal is very hard and crunchy. It reminds me of eating Fritos corn chips. I am using it to manage my diabetes numbers at breakfast, but I could also imagine it working for lunch. It's satisfying and filling when used with almond milk. I bought the four flavors to try them. I may switch to plain flavor. Although there's no added sugar, these four flavors are fairly sweet (munk fruit extract) tasting. About 1/4 cup works better than 1/2 cup for staying in range (for me)Also, a crunchy and filling snack when eaten with guacamole and tomato-based salsa (plain would be best, but with cinnamon was ok). Will be looking for other ideas to toss the plain version with: scrambled eggs, refried beans, melted cheese for a chip substitute. The plain flavor could add protein and crunch to soups and stews. Salads?

Texture
Expensive, quality, hard texture, taste is something to get used to.

Great, healthy cereal option
This is a great, healthy option for cereal lovers. It is full of protein and fiber. I prefer it with milk rather than taking a handful and eating it.

Half and half
Between the blueberry and honey nut, the blueberry is definitely superior. Texture is the normal for this cereal, for both, but the blueberry flavor is fab. While the honey nut actually does have the cardboard taste. Mixing them, it stands out. Alone, I've added some keto chocolate chips and a tad bit of vanilla to my half&half, and it's still not great. Considering getting some keto marshmallows and trying to make "rice krispie treats" with them. This was too expensive to just toss both bags!
