Our take

CleanPlate review

High-protein oats with real cocoa and brown sugar

Bagrry's High Protein Oats Dark Chocolate is rolled oats (46%), a protein blend (25%) of textured soy, soy isolate and whey, natural brown sugar, pumpkin seeds and raisins (9%), cocoa solids (4.6%), nature-identical flavouring, pink salt, lemon powder and tocopherol.

CleanPlate scores it BB3. The B for nutrition reflects 25.1 g protein and 8.5 g fibre per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by rolled oats, texturized soy protein and soy protein isolate), with additives that cost points: flavouring. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (14.5 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (1.3 g per 100 g).

Ingredients to watch

  • ProteinFine

Common misconceptions

Myth: "25 g protein means a protein shake in a bowl"

The figure is per 100 g; a 50 g serve gives 11 to 13 g, about a quarter of a day's need, before milk.

Myth: "Brown sugar is not refined sugar"

Brown sugar is cane sugar with a little molasses; it counts as added sugar.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsDaily, one 50 g serve
  • ChildrenA smaller serve
  • Diabetes or prediabetesMeasured serve; 7 g added sugar per serve

Smarter ways to eat it

Sweeten with fruit

Banana, berries or apple on top add sweetness and fibre without more sugar.

Mix with plain oats

Half this and half plain rolled oats keeps the taste and halves the sugar or salt per bowl.
