# Gluten-Free Chocolate Cereals Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Cocoa Crunch Cereal Tastes Like Dessert By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-03-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-cocoa-crunch-cereal References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/gluten-free-cocoa-crunch-cereal) [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-chocolate-chip-cookies) is looking to make breakfast a little more interesting for those who can't eat gluten with its new Gluten Free Cocoa Crunch Cereal. Full of flavor, but completely free of gluten, this cereal is a tasty new breakfast, snack, or dessert option for anyone who adheres to a gluten-free diet. Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Cocoa Crunch Cereal is a fun new breakfast product that turns dessert into a delicious morning meal. The cereal consists of light cereal pieces with an airy texture and a "hit of rice flour nuttiness." The cereal is also made with Dutch cocoa powder, which gives it a rich chocolate taste. However, Trader Joe's claims that the best part is at the end of the meal when the cereal "turns the whole bowl of milk (or non-dairy alternative) rich and chocolatey."
