Wheaties Protein Cereal Review: Honey Pecan and Maple Almond Flavors

Today, Kevin and I are reviewing the Wheaties Protein Cereal, available in two flavors: Honey Pecan and Maple Almond. These cereals, produced by General Mills, are priced at $7.97 each at Walmart. This cost is higher than regular cereal boxes, likely due to the added protein content and premium ingredients.

  - Box Weight: 1 lb 0.4 oz (464 g)

  - Nutritional Information: 5 g of fiber, 21 g of protein, 6 g of sugar, and 12 g of total fat per serving (1 cup/64 g)

The Honey Pecan flavor boasts a hearty mix of flakes, pecans, and pumpkin seeds sweetened with honey. Upon opening, the cereal appeared to have a good amount of nuts, though pictures on the packaging can sometimes be misleading.

- The flakes are hard and crunchy, unlike typical Frosted Flakes. The texture is quite tough to chew dry, resembling a granola-like consistency.

- The flavor is pleasant, with a noticeable honey sweetness, but the texture softens considerably once soaked in milk.

The Maple Almond flavor is sweetened with maple syrup and has a distinct almond taste, more pronounced than the pecan in the Honey Pecan variety. The overall flavor profile is sweeter and more appealing, with a satisfying maple sweetness that balances well with the crunchiness of the flakes.

Both flavors offer a substantial and filling breakfast option, ideal for those seeking high protein and fiber content. The Honey Pecan flavor is less sweet but still enjoyable, while the Maple Almond provides a sweeter and more satisfying taste.

For those who find typical protein cereals too fibrous and unpalatable, Weedies Protein Cereal offers a better alternative with its flake-based texture, avoiding the unpleasant chewiness of many protein cereals on the market. Adding raisins could enhance the flavor and provide additional sweetness.

Overall, these cereals are a great choice for anyone looking to incorporate more protein into their diet without relying on protein shakes. They are filling, nutritious, and can curb hunger effectively, making them a worthy addition to your breakfast routine.

Weedies Protein Cereal can be found in the new section of the cereal aisle at Walmart. We hope you enjoyed our review and found it helpful. Stay tuned for more food reviews!
