Our take
CleanPlate reviewHigh-protein muesli: 25 g protein, 10 g fibre
Pintola High Protein Muesli Dark Chocolate & Cranberry is a 400 g pack of muesli made from five whole grains (34%), a soy protein blend (25%), dry fruits, nuts and seeds (22%), jaggery, cocoa powder (6%), dates, rice bran oil and salt. The panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it BB3. 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 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (16.2 g per 100 g) and calories (390 kcal per 100 g).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Whole grains (34%) (rolled oats, ragi flakes, jowar flakes, quinoa flakes, brown rice flakes), protein blend (25%) (texturized soy protein, soy protein isolate), dry fruits, nuts and seeds (22%) (black raisins, cranberries, almonds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds), organic jaggery, cocoa powder (6%), dates, rice bran oil and Himalayan pink salt.
Per 100 g: 390 kcal, 8 g fat of which 1.7 g saturated, 17 g sugar of which 11 g added, 10 g fibre, 25 g protein, 158 mg sodium. The pack prints added sugar 11 g and the listing 8 g; the pack is used, and jaggery and dates add to the free sugar (16.2 g). Cranberry is in the name but has no percentage of its own. Allergens are oats, nuts and soy, and the pack may contain dairy.
