I’m amazed that special K is marketing such an awful cereal. Please bring back cinnamon pecan.

Yuck!!

I enjoy many of your cereals but this Protein version tastes awful! It had zero taste regardless of the “subtle cinnamon” that is in the description.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great option

I was highly surprised that this cereal actually tastes good. It doesn't have that chalky after taste you find with most protein products. Packaging is simple and your typical cereal box.

Definitely delicious!

I was so excited about this product because it is something I need in my diet plan. I currently am on my weight loss journey and protein is key. I love special K cereal and so happy that there is now special K with cinnamon. I absolutely enjoyed the taste of this cereal, the flavor was just so good and the texture is very good as well. I will be buying more and do recommend.

Yea Protein Bars!

2 months ago
I bought these after looking for a protein bar with low carbs. I'm semi new to low carbing, but after spending a half hour reading labels, I found the chocolate peanut butter protein bars which also have lots of fiber to ease the carb intake. You surprised me! Special K? Hmm... Well, they're pretty tasty and I hope other flavors are just as tasty. Plus, you get 6 bars instead of four. Pretty schnazzy! Thank you!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Give it a try!

Tasted quite good for protein cereal. A bit of a grainy texture; and a bit hard to get through each spoonful. All things considered though, this is a better option than other protein cereals I’ve had.

Really good cereal just has a strong protein taste

3 months ago
This cereal was pretty good and I love that it gives you a good amount of protein. It wasn’t too strong of a cinnamon flavor and it wasn’t too sweet. The only complaint that I had was that it tasted a little too much like protein. The protein taste was a little too strong but other than that the cereal was really tasty!

Cinnamon tastes artificial

The flavor is more of an artificial cinnamon flavor . I did like the scent of the cereal when opening the box up. Overall not a product that I would purchase.
