Kellogg’s Special K High Protein – Cocoa Hazelnut Review

While shopping for my weekly groceries, my high-protein radar spotted a new find: Kellogg’s Special K High Protein in Cocoa Hazelnut flavor.

Taste & Texture

I don’t eat cereal regularly, so I’m not sure how common cocoa & hazelnut-flavored cereals are.

That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. The cocoa-hazelnut combo is delicious, and the texture is great—crispy and stays crunchy in milk without getting too soggy.

Nutritional Values

Here is the nutritional value for 100g:

  • 381 kcal
  • 64g carbs
  • 3.1g fat
  • 21g protein

Yay or Nay?

I love the flavor and texture, but let’s break down the nutritional difference.

For a 25g portion, the calories are nearly identical, with slightly more protein in the High Protein version. However, it also has slightly fewer carbs and a bit more fat.

The difference is quite subtle, so despite the bold claims on the box, I don’t find this product all that groundbreaking. It can be a convenient way to add some extra protein, but it’s not a game-changer.

I enjoy cereal every now and then, but this High Protein version doesn’t feel all that “worth it” for me—aside from the hazelnut flavor, which I did enjoy.

So, will I buy it again? Well, I still need to finish this box, and something tells me it’ll take a while. Maybe.
