Ghost Protein Cereal x Cinnamon Toast Crunch has been created in collaboration between the brands as a new breakfast and snack time product that's crafted with kids-at-heart in mind.
The cereal features the familiar taste, texture and composition of the classic Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, but sees it enhanced with whey protein concentrate to greatly elevate the protein content. The cereal thus has 17-grams of protein per serving with five-grams of sugar and 170-calories per serving to make it a satisfying alternative to conventional breakfast cereal.
Ghost Protein Cereal x Cinnamon Toast Crunch targets nostalgic Millennial consumers who want to increase their protein intake, but also satisfy their craving for foods from their childhood. The cereal is a limited time offering priced at $9.99 per box.
