Our take

CleanPlate review

Soy-boosted muesli with real cocoa and no additives

Pintola High Protein Muesli Dark Chocolate is five whole grains (34%: oats, ragi, jowar, quinoa and brown rice flakes), a soy protein blend (25%), raisins, cranberries, almonds, flax and pumpkin seeds (22%), organic jaggery, cocoa powder (6%), dates, rice bran oil and pink salt.

CleanPlate scores it BB2. The B for nutrition reflects 25 g protein and 10 g fibre per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by rolled oats, ragi flakes and jowar flakes), and almost no additives. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 158 mg, free sugar 8 g, saturated fat 1.7 g per 100 g).

Per 100 g: 390 kcal, 8 g fat of which 1.7 g saturated, 17 g sugar of which 8 g added, 10 g fibre, 25 g protein, 158 mg sodium and 176 mg magnesium.

Ingredients to watch

  • ProteinFine

    25 g per 100 g, mostly textured soy and soy isolate.

  • Clean listFine

    No additives, colours or flavourings.

  • Added sugarWorth watching

    8 g per 100 g, 4.0 g in a 50 g bowl; about 8% of the calories.

Common misconceptions

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

The 25 g is per 100 g; a 40 to 50 g serve gives 10 to 13 g, about a quarter of a day's need, before milk.

Myth: "Soy protein is low quality"

Soy is one of the better plant proteins. Textured soy is scored a notch below isolate and whey, but well above oats alone.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsDaily, one 50 g serve
  • ChildrenFine; a smaller serve
  • Diabetes or prediabetesSuitable in a measured serve; count the jaggery

Smarter ways to eat it

Sweeten with fruit

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

Overnight soak

Soak a serve in milk or curd overnight; the soy chunks soften and it is ready at breakfast.
