Cookies & Crème Protein Cereal

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Cheerios Cookies & Crème Protein Cereal scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 2g fiber, 8g protein and 11g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Cheerios Cookies & Crème Protein Cereal lists 27 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Oats, Sugar, Pea Protein, Corn Starch and Corn Syrup. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

150 kcal per serving, or 405 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Cheerios Cookies & Crème Protein Cereal on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Cheerios Cookies & Crème Protein Cereal scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Kavanagh's Organic Jumbo Porridge Oats at 100/100.
