My never-ending quest to find delicious protein cereal has led me to Incredi-Bowl Cereal.
With the flavor being “Frosted Flakes,” my expectations were naturally quite high for this protein cereal. I mean, Frosted Flakes is EASILY a top 5 all-time cereal.
Now obviously, this is a keto-friendly cereal, so expectations need to be tempered a bit. I would never expect a cereal with virtually no sugar to taste like a cereal that is literally coated in sugar.
But as I’ve learned in trying 20+ protein bowls of cereal, just because it’s keto-friendly, that doesn’t mean it ALWAYS has to be terrible.
Incredi-Bowl Cereal Review
Based on the photo on the box, this cereal definitely looked to be lacking any resemblance of a “frosted” coating.
Upon opening the box, my fears were confirmed: this cereal is not actually frosted.
Before diving into this bowl of cereal, I figured it was only fair to try it as dry cereal first.
The texture of this cereal really threw me for a loop. It is very light, almost feeling like flakes of paper.
The flavor is a cross between sugar substitute and vanilla, but that iconic Frosted Flakes flavor doesn’t really come through.
If this cereal were crunchy, maybe it would resemble Frosted Flakes more. Unfortunately, Incredi-Bowl cereal is so light and airy that it almost dissolved completely in your mouth without even needing to chew.
If I had to compare the texture to anything, it would be styrofoam. But if you want a real-life food comparison, it’s similar to those “Magic Pop” snacks, which are just puffed rice crackers without much flavor.
But how does this cereal taste in milk?
I was hopeful that I would enjoy Incredi-Bowl cereal more with milk, but my enjoyment went completely in the opposite direction once added to milk.
Considering how light and airy the cereal is, it got even softer in milk. It turns out that cereal is significantly less enjoyable when it doesn’t have a crunch to it!
Flavor-wise, most of it completely runs off in milk. This does lead to sweet milk that you can drink at the end, which is great, but it comes at the expense of flavorless flakes. Whatever small amount of sugar-coating is on these cereal flakes to begin with completely runs off in milk, leading to a pretty lackluster bowl of cereal.
Now, to be fair, Incredi-Bowl does have two other flavors that I did not try: Honey Nut Hoops and Chocolate Crunch, both of which sound like they would {hopefully} be crunchier and more satisfying than the Frosted Flakes flavor.
But based on this flavor alone, Incredi-Bowl is a pass from me.
