The UFIT high-protein cereal range is the brand's first-ever breakfast cereal lineup that's crafted with athletic nutrition in mind to hep catch the attention of consumers.
The product range consists of the UFIT Protein Cereal, UFIT Protein Granola and the UFIT Protein Porridge, which each come in at 15-grams of protein per serving. The products come in Chocolate, Toasted Oats & Honey and Caramelised Biscuit flavor options, depending on the variety, and are competitively priced at £1.50 per porridge pot and £3.99 per boxed cereal to prioritize value. This is expected to be a big selling point amongst shoppers who are on the hunt for more protein-packed foods, but want to avoid the higher costs they often entail.
Head of Marketing at Lacka Foods Angie Turner spoke on the UFIT high-protein cereal range saying, "Our consumers trust us for taste and protein delivery, and our high brand loyalty shows how much they value what we offer. Launching into cereals was the next natural step – giving everyone an easy, tasty way to enjoy more protein at breakfast.”
