CheeriosProtein Cereal, Cookies and Crème, 8g Protein, Family Size, 15 oz

Very yummy

This is a review for Cheerios Protein Cereal, Cookies and Crème, 8g Protein, Family Size, 15 ozI've not tried this brand of protein cereal before but I have eaten other brands and I haven't found one I like. They're usually too dry and heavy tasting, like you're chewing on straw and a lot of them have an odd aftertaste. I do like Cheerios though so I decided to give these a shot.This is the large, 15oz, family size box. I had a best by date a little under a year out, May 2026. The flavor is cookies and cream.The main feature of this cereal is higher protein. This cereal has 8 grams per cup compared to the original style Cheerios which has 3.5 grams, so more than double. The calorie count here is 150 dry, fat is 2.5 grams, total sugar is 11 grams, 2 grams of fiber. First 3 ingredients are whole Grain Oats, Sugar, Pea Protein.When you open these you smell chocolate, like a Cocoa powder smell. The cereal has that typical shiny glaze and dry, they're crunchy and sweet. I don't like a lot of milk in my cereal so I add about a half cup to a cup of dry and mix it up. After I was eating for a few minutes the milk had turned a tan color and all the Cheerios were the same blonde color, so the chocolate ones just have a darker glaze on them that rinses off. The cereal stayed pretty crunchy while I ate which is a big one for me, I hate soggy cereal. I didn't have any of that weird aftertaste that you can get with the higher protein style either. And while the cereal was a little tougher, more chewy than the original style Cheerios it wasn't too bad compared to other protein cereals I've tried.As far as flavor, I wouldn't say they tasted like cookies and cream. They just had a mild chocolate flavor. They were plenty sweet in my opinion, but otherwise a little bit bland.The serving size of one cup was pretty filling. I ate my bowl for a 6am breakfast and I felt good till later in the morning, around 10, when I usually have a yogurt or some fruit.Overall I'd recommend them if you're looking to add some easy protein to your diet, would be a good "hidden" protein boost for kids too. Good quality and as far as price it's pretty inline with most family size boxes so I'd order again.

Cheerios Cookies & Crème Protein Cereal is a standout whether enjoyed dry, with milk, or mixed into a snack blend. While it works well as a traditional breakfast option, I personally love incorporating it into trail mix—it adds an extra boost of protein alongside nuts and dried fruit, while also delivering that satisfying cookies and cream flavor.With 8g of protein per serving and a crunchy, dessert-like taste, this cereal offers a delicious and functional twist that goes beyond the bowl. Whether fueling up for the day or grabbing a handful on the go, it’s a solid pick for both nutrition and flavor

I liked this Cheerios protein cereal and did not taste any weird flavors or aftertaste that I sometimes get when eating protein-fortified foods. That said, I didn't taste any "cookies and crème" flavor, either; just the classic Cheerios flavor.I was surprised that there is so much sugar in each serving, 11 grams. The cereal wasn't very sweet, especially with having sugar listed as the 2nd ingredient. The leftover milk in the bowl was sweeter than the cereal was, so I guess most of the sugar just gets dissolved in the milk.If you are looking for a cereal that is sweet and tastes like cookies and crème, look elsewhere; if you're looking for yummy high-protein Cheerios, then you will probably like this. At the current price of $4.93 for the family size 15oz box, this is an okay value.

I’ve been enjoying Cheerios Protein Cookies & Crème as a sweet, nostalgic breakfast. Each cup delivers a satisfying 8 g of protein and about 11 g of added sugar—plenty of flavor without feeling overly indulgent. The crunchy oat-and-pea crisps remind me more of classic Cheerios than protein cereals with weird, artificial textures, and the cookies-and-cream essence comes through subtly in every bite.

This cereal is tasty, quite flavorful and we love this brand. Crunchy pieces, don't get soggy as soon as they hit the milk, and they are slightly healthier than most cereal. No weird after tastes or anything like that. Good quality, good value and great brand. What's not to love? Would absolutely order again.

My kids really enjoyed this flavor of cheerios cereal. I like that the cookies and cream flavor is there, they are slightly sweetened but not totally sugary. I think this cereal flavor is a good balance of sweet and whole grain.

These are pretty good. You get the Cheerio flavor but you also get that Oreo flavor as well. Don't taste any protein aftertaste which is nice. This are great to snack on as is or to add milk too but ways taste delicious.
