Let’s get real about cereal.
A nutritional comparison of Wonder Crunch and Coco Pops.
So, you think the only way to get a delicious, chocolate cereal is to choose a 2 star rated, high sugar bowl of pops? Think again!
Now don't get us wrong. We love the taste of cocoa in our cereal and slurping down the choc stained milk from the bowl but we thought there had to be a way to get the same tasty goodness from a cereal that's also good for the body. It's exactly why we created Wonder Crunch.
And guess what? We did it! You'll love our 5 star rated, high protein, low sugar and low calorie alternative to choc puffs and to help you compare we've done a bowl v bowl nutritional comparison.
What’s the best way to choose a well rounded, healthy breakfast cereal?
Check the Nutritional Information Panel (NIP). You see, the truth is that labels can’t lie.
You may be familiar with NIPs, they’re usually found on the packaging and must be a true and accurate measurement of the nutritional values found in the product. These numbers are laboratory tested, and a true representation of what you’re buying so you can see the full breakdown of ingredients. Did you know that ingredients must be listed in order of volume? It's a good hack to quickly see the main ingredients of your cereal.
We found that when it came to chocolate and other sweeter style breakfast cereal, that the sugar content was staggering. Would you start your morning with a glass of soft drink? It's scary to think that some of the more popular bowls of cereal aren't far off when it comes to the sugar content.
While sugar is worth keeping a close eye on, it's also smart to compare the other macronutrients when reviewing your breakfast cereals including the protein and the carbohydrates. It's also wise to look at the calories from each bowl. Let's show you an example.
Wonder Crunch vs Coco Pops.
From the table, you can see the difference in the protein content (not to mention the reduced sugar, carbohydrates and calories). It’s a significant difference!
✔ Wonder Crunch has almost 6 times more protein than Coco Pops✔ Wonder Crunch has just 5.81% of the sugar of Coco Pops
✔ Wonder Crunch has less than half the carbs of Coco Pops

* Based on 50g serving size
The other thing you should be wary of is the serving size. Most cereals will claim a 30-40g per serve, and in our experience this isn’t a typical bowl of breakfast cereal. Having measured Wonder Crunch over and over we found the natural pour to be 50g. Anything less and you would be left feeling hungry.
So when you’re next comparing two products, make sure you take this into account, and also look at the per 100g column of your food for a more complete and accurate comparison.
And there you have it. You’ll now see why we are happy to hand-on-heart claim that Wonder Crunch is a Super High Protein Cereal. With over 40% protein, low sugar and lower calories, we challenge you to find a better chocolate breakfast cereal than Wonder Crunch.
So here’s to happy, healthy, breakfast cereal eating!
