Our take

CleanPlate review

More protein than regular Chocos, the same kind of sugar

Kellogg's Protein Chocos are atta (40%), oat flour (13.4%), corn meal and rice flour with sugar, wheat gluten, cocoa solids (5.4%), cereal extract, minerals, sunflower oil, salt, nature-identical flavours, vitamins and stevia.

CleanPlate scores it [F]BB3. The B for nutrition reflects 14.1 g protein and 6.5 g fibre per 100 g. The [F] marks that added calcium, iron, vitamin C and zinc lift the grade; without them it would be C. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by wheat flour, oats flour and corn meal), with additives that cost points: flavouring and steviol glycosides. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (23.7 g per 100 g) and sodium (145 mg per 100 g).

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Fortified with vitamins means it is a healthy breakfast"

The added vitamins are real, but they sit on top of the sugar rather than cancelling it.

Myth: "Protein cereal means a protein breakfast"

A 30 g bowl gives about 4 g protein; the milk gives more.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsA few times a week
  • ChildrenA 30 g bowl, not daily
  • Diabetes or prediabetesLimit; 24 g added sugar per 100 g

Smarter ways to eat it

Mix with plain oats

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

Sweeten with fruit

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