What You Should Know

You'd spot this box in the cereal aisle or the natural/alternative breakfast section — the kind of product grabbed for quick weekday breakfasts, lunchbox swaps, or a nostalgic cereal fix. It feels like a frosted childhood cereal reimagined with a health-forward twist: grain-free and legume-based, marketed as a cleaner alternative. The ingredient list (isolated pea protein, tapioca starch, added cane sugar, and 'natural flavors') and the likely extrusion/industrial steps tell you it's formulated for a crunchy, uniform texture and aligns with ultraprocessed manufacturing.
