Is this bullshit. Sincere question, I can't tell

@mcc I mean it is better than eating the 99% sugar and newspaper cereal, but it's still ultra processed and doesn't contain vitamins that your body can easily break down and use so the nutrition labels are pretty dishonest.
The protein supplement in processed "high protein" foods can upset your stomach pretty easily and don't provide quite as much benefit as other protein sources.

It's like 9 dollars for a small box, so personally I'd stick to granola.

@Tristan "would this make sense as a substitute for the chalk-like power bar i wolf down every morning" i guess is the question i meant. i guess that's not answerable without knowing what power bar i eat.

@mcc yea, probably about the same as most protein bars.

Nutrition nerd cereal alternative:
Overnight oats (traditional rolled oats soaked in almond milk overnight) with a scoop of protein powder (from whey isolate) and a scoop of peanut butter powder will provide 10x as much nutrition and fill you with energy. I prefer the taste and texture as it's less sweet, but maple syrup can be added.You just have to remember to soak it the night before or else microwave hot oats and protein powder (bleh).
