Have you tried Catalina Crunch? Let me know in the comments! Curious to know what you think and your flavors of choice.Catalina Crunch Keto Cereal contains a non-GMO blend of seven plant proteins and fibres designed to keep you full longer and support gut health. Personally, I like their Cinnamon Toast flavor cereal, which tastes pretty close to the real thing, but it’s still not a staple in my pantry. Please be sure you’re not eating Catalina Crunch at the expense of eating whole, real foods.Ĭatalina Crunch, nevertheless, can be an awesome way to fulfill a craving without derailing your health goals or progress. Perhaps it better fits in “less problematic options”…we’ll make that a category now. Fundamentally, we want to remember it’s still a processed food so I wouldn’t put this in the “healthy” category. Maybe that’s why I felt like there was a strange film in my mouth after eating the cereal. I’m on the fence as to whether the fat is quality fat. And when we double the portion to provide a filling amount, you’re then eating a disproportionate amount of fiber which means you could end up with some gastrointestinal discomfort, if you’re not used to so much fiber at one time. But if you’re looking for a cereal bowl, this is not going to do it. One serving of their cereal is half a cup, which might be enough… if you’re using it to top some yogurt or a smoothie bowl. And the crunch factor is definitely a pro, working well when you’re craving something like this and hitting the spot.įor cons, they have small portion sizes. They give you a relatively significant amount of protein and fiber compared to other options out there. For an “alternative food choice,” they aren’t terrible, all things considered. In real life, some flavors taste better than others…the chocolate required me to think hard about chocolate while I ate it to taste that flavor.
Catalina crunch nutrition pro#
A definite pro is their nutrition facts are better than the traditional cookies and cereals of childhood the flavors try to mimic. That all sounds great and again, we want to look at those ingredients.Īll in all, their products sound good on paper. Catalina Crunch cookies boast 1 gram of sugar and 5 grams of net carbs. I’m not the biggest fan of the high oleic sunflower oil, especially depending on their cooking process which we don’t know (at high temps it can release toxins and some varieties are high in Omega 6 which exacerbate the very common imbalance of the Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio).Īs with all brands, we want to look at each flavor and each type of food before purchasing to assess. For the most part, I’m OK with the sweeteners they use, and I like that the sweeteners are last on the list (it means there’s less of them in the food than the other ingredients). The rest of the ingredient list reads: Tapioca Flour, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Baking Powder, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Stevia Extract, Monk Fruit Extract. They make their cereal with a “Catalina flour,” which is made of pea protein, potato fiber, non-GMO corn fiber, and chicory root fiber.

Marketing claims of free from grains and gluten always prompts me to see what it is made of. These stats check out! On to the next step of reviewing the ingredients. Reviewing the label of their Cinnamon Toast Cereal, it offers 11 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of net carbs. Sounds great, right?!Īs a health coach and podcaster, I wanted to see for myself.
