One of the newest cocoa cereals on the market is the ultra-simple cocoa flavor from Three [Wishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-cereal), which boasts an impressive free-from formula that has eight key ingredients. While the product has nourishing staples of a Three Wishes cereal like chickpeas, pea protein and tapioca, it is made without wheat, corn, rice, dairy, oats, peanuts, soy and animal products.

The [cocoa breakfast cereal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelloggs-cocoa-loops) shares eight grams of protein and just three grams of sugar from natural sweeteners like monk fruit and organic cane sugar. As CEO and co-founder Margaret Wishingrad says, "We want you to cheat on your chocolate, ice cream and candy, and reach for Three Wishes cocoa to satisfy any sweet tooth you may have."
