What You Should Know

You'd find this on the cereal aisle or the natural/health-food endcap—bright, kid-friendly packaging evoking classic fruity cereals but marketed as a lower-sugar, legume-and-protein alternative. The vibe is nostalgic and playful with a health-forward twist; the ingredient list and likely puffed/extruded texture suggest industrial reformulation rather than a simple whole-food product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Uses isolated proteins (pea protein), refined starches (tapioca), natural flavors, colorants and non-sugar sweeteners and is manufactured into a shelf-stable puffed cereal—features typical of ultra-processed foods. The product is an industrial formulation rather than a minimally processed whole-food.
