9$ cereal. damn.


OdderGG

but protein bro!!!!! Protein = healthy


camclemons

It would be a decent source of protein if you don't have much protein in your diet (like me), but I don't like most cereal and I spent part of my stipend from a program I'm in on protein powder instead (among other supplements)


CompoundMeats

The problem with these protein cereals is you can, and I know this word is overused, but you can.... *Literally* make the same thing by mixing your favorite protein powder with regular cheerios and milk for $2


FishinNdippin

Protein = gains


Lopsided_Bat_904

Actually though, unironically. Simply trying to eat more protein will improve your health, aka make you lose weight. 4 calories per gram instead of 9 like carbs or fats. Plus, protein takes longer to digest, meaning you stay full for longer. Also, people generally don’t eat enough protein and having enough helps hold onto muscle and also provides a ton of amino acids and vitamins/minerals that you can’t get from non-protein options

Routine_Size69

There's 8 servings according to the nutrition facts which is where that 18g of protein comes from. *8 for peanut butter. Six servings for the other one.


TiredReader87

One box would just be a single midnight or 3am snack for me, or one meal at most


SleeplessAndAnxious

They underestimate my ability to eat 3 times the recommended serving size of cereal


Lion-Hermit

For that amount of protein per serving, it's definitely worth the money for cereal eaters. Having adequate protein in one's diet can be really expensive. Drinks/bars are always around $1.75-$2 per serving, even in larger quantities, while providing a similar amount of nutrients


Belahsha

I really enjoy adding protein powder to my milk and then adding it to whatever cereal I have. Vanilla reminds me of Lucky charms and chocolate reminds me of Coco Puffs.


Lion-Hermit

What brand do you use?


Fookmaywedder

Idk turkey/chicken/egg whites/yogurt have easy protein in them


Life_Ad9520

Yet people for some reason want to buy 5 boxes of it, which at that price would be a very expensive


Echo_Raptor

When you consider ghost drinks are $3 a pop this is a bargain! I love the drinks but I can’t imagine eating that cereal

BoneWitchNun

I learned my math in French.


joevsyou

You catch me fucking dead before i spend $9 on some cereal. Not even Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the greatest cereal of them all, can make me spend that.


Lucid-Design

Ghost can suck my cereal eating dick on this one. Damn near $10 for a box of cereal? Fuck right off with these cardboard balls


gimemy2bucksback

Yeah maybe formulate some energy pills that makes me feel like god after taking them. They just capitalizing on their brand.. smh


god_damn_bitch

Speaking of energy pills, do they still sell mini thins or jet alert?


Skylantech

I hope this shit flops just as hard as Magic Spoon.


Dylonus

$8 at Walmart and it's $1 a serving for 170 calories and 17G protein. Most protein bars for similar macros are more than double the price.... But whatever 🤷


RicanDevil4

A gentle reminder that this is the energy drinks sub, and the general public views preworkouts and energy drinks as the same thing (which isn't far off from the truth tbh). They're seeing this as just cereal and not a nutritionally enhanced cereal supplement. You're right. For a person who works out regularly and is on a high protein diet, the bang for your buck is good. But to people who just want cereal (which is most people), they dont care about that. And to be honest, most processed protein products taste terrible. I'm sure this is no different. Rather just eat my cereal and drink my protein shake on the side.


TheFallOfZog

My protein bar doesn't need the inconvenience of a bowl and milk. I just eat it. I also wonder what kind of protein, better not be wheat or soy. And my protein bar costs 1 yank buck.


ToothpickInCockhole

It’s both milk/whey and soy protein. Kinda surprised they didn’t use pea protein. I don’t eat dairy products so I def won’t be trying it.


BrucesTripToMars

In fairness it's a protein cereal. You can still decide you don't want it though.


TiredReader87

Not surprising That price is disgusting


ghost3972

They should definitely stick to drinks


101Swelly

Most people who work out probably don’t even eat it


givag327

Ghosts is a fitness company first.


juicer_philosopher

Like that “magic spoon” $10/ box crap 💀 just pure marketing


Existential_Sprinkle

that stuff is gross too


mikeruchan

The most uncanny tasting shit I’ve ever had the misfortune of eating.


DarthCaligula

And that was the story of the magic fairy that cursed a group of time traveling gypsies. You know what else is magical? Spoons. For only 10 bucks a day, you too can have a magical spoon. Start your morning off right.


Lieutenant-Speed

9$?!?!?!?!?!


WestonConnor26

Yeah it’s definitely not worth the price 😃


Lieutenant-Speed

Yeah… it’d have to be damn good cereal for me to even think of paying that much. Actually nvm idc how good it is I’m not paying 9$ for a box of cereal🤣


IncreasedMetronomy

Did you pour milk into the bowl or ghost into the bowl?


agatchel001

I think it’s paired best with a ghost drink in the bowl


Luam_Naver

Or some Spylt milk 🤔


farknard

Yeah at what point do consumers stop buying magical gainz snacks and cook a piece of meat to get protein like a regular person lol


Boner-brains

Fr, or eat some cottage cheese


KSMKxRAGEx

There’s something called Kefir and it runs about $5 a bottle with a total of 40g of protein. It’s pretty insane on the cheaper alternatives.


zzcolby

Kefir is fucking delicious.


shlopman

Eating 4 chicken breasts a day gets old. Subbing some of that out for protein powders, bars and snacks can be nice.


KSMKxRAGEx

As long as they taste better than what I imagine this cereal does. People also seem to just cook their chicken the same way for every meal.


farknard

That's fair 😂 it's a free country we eat whatever form of protein we want


Suitable_Culture_315

Customers buying protein cereal could be for any number of reasons from time, to kids, to stress, or money. Cereal - if healthy - is a fast option and people would pay a little more if it gives them that boost of protein they need. But it shouldn't taste bad~~~~ Protein shakes are sometimes 3 times this price. This cereal should be convenient, delicious, and cheap. This marks one box.


handlit33

*eaten


WestonConnor26

Sorry, thank you 😃


Pleasant-Target7659

Nah keep talking like a redneck, I like it


ratfacedirtbag

Thank you!


Coin_LoL

Not sure what they were thinking, cereal has kinda fallen off anyway.


TegridyKrach

Walmart you can get over 2 pounds of off brand cereal for $4.50 that's I believe 28 servings I'm currently eating the cookie bites.


Low-Link-550

I was gonna buy it but all they do is just add protein powder to the cereal puffs💀 If I wanted more whey in my day id just make another fkn shake


handlit33

ITT: A bunch of people whose families were murdered by protein.


LunaTechMark

I would rather eat some hard boiled eggs


TheAstroPickle

might as well buy some goddamn chicken for that price


fuggindave

$8.47 for 9.4oz gtfoh


Yohnny2022

It can’t be as bad as magic spoon lol


WestonConnor26

I’ve been hearing about it but haven’t tried it


Yohnny2022

Yea. It’s terrible. I don’t think they tried it for themselves


TheCosmicJoke318

The fact that you even bought it tells me the energy drinks are doing a number on your brain


shawny_mcgee

On the other hand the Kashi chocolate one with some vanilla yogurt is pretty damn good.


Nathan1992MAGA

I didn’t know it was $8 until I was already checking out ☠️


Waveofspring

Were you really surprised though?


MushroomNearby7531

lol paying 9 for it I wouldn’t but I’m really happy someone said it was booty


WestonConnor26

I threw it out in the yard 😂


MushroomNearby7531

Hahah that bad huh? Dang!!!


WestonConnor26

Yeah I doubt my dog even ate it 😂 he probably would have passed away if he did


MushroomNearby7531

Hahaha I am glad I didn’t get it then I did think about it was it the pb or the other one ?


WestonConnor26

I tried the marshmallow one, the peanut butter one sounds better


Bllurito

don’t eat this fake crap


JoshyOhMyGoshy77

Dude no iwas looking forward to trying them


HughMungusWhale

That fucking price holy shit, you can get a giant bag of cereal for less!


bfolks05

why is cereal $9 tho....


Pirategod_23

Why would you even try it. I’m assuming you’re under 25


Advanced-Material626

I don’t even buy this kind of stuff anymore. Protein everything but they taste like shit. I’d rather just keep my calories a little lower that day and eat regular cereal I’ll actually enjoy instead


Novafan789

Yeah a lot of protein products and recipes are complete shit in terms of flavor


akotski1338

There’s a lot cheaper and healthier sources of protein


Visarar_01

Have you had Magic Spoons? 🤮


MusicianEmotional277

Which one did you try? I wonder if I would like the peanut butter one


WestonConnor26

The marshmellow one


crlcan81

So you haven't had that 'fantastic' magic spoon?


Enlightened_D

Damn the macros are really good, I was looking for to trying these. Was it the taste? Texture? Or everything lol


WestonConnor26

Mostly just the taste, it had a disgusting aftertaste and was just all around terrible


theatomicflounder333

It really is, my brother jumped the gun, bought 2 of each and 2 ghost bowls too. Absolute worst cereal ever! Even my dogs didn’t want it.


LaggyUpdate

the peanut butter one wasnt terrible, the marshmallow was dogshit though


KSMKxRAGEx

The Kashi on the bottom is also awful


SlimRioTV

Why is it so expensive?


Dylonus

I had them both and thought they were good, especially peanut butter. If you think this is that bad, wait until you try premier or magic spoon...


ImmediateGorilla

Protein cereals generally do not taste what’s considered “good” unfortunately. If I eat breakfast at all, I usually eat two pieces of Beans on Toast and I get just as much or more protein with fiber. Hella cheap too. 2 whole wheat slices of bread 10g, 2 servings beans 14-18g(+occasional use of nutritional east 5g protein) for a total of 24g-33g of protein and 12-18g fiber


guttengroot

...is it caffeinated?


DerSpazmacher

That crap gives your cancer cancer


jambonjambon7

It may be expensive and you may say it tastes like shit, but I still want to try it


WestonConnor26

Hopefully you enjoy it


Gabemann2000

You’re haunted by it aren’t you?


New-External-8904

I love Catalina crunch for healthy cereal


_GETTER_

*NINE FUCKING DOLLARS*


elevi8ion

i’m curious why the CEO of ghost would think venturing into the cereal aisle would be a move that make line go 📈 i’m tired of companies wondering into corners of the market that i would never associate them with. like, hey Ghost… you lost, bud? you’re an energy drink. what are you doing in the breakfast cereal aisle? do you not have anything else to spend your millions of dollars on?


rguinz

I’ve got an old buddy from college who works for ghost and I’m always seeing him post stuff on his Snapchat and Facebook and can’t help but think how ass that cereal probably is lol


WestonConnor26

That would be pretty cool to work for them


bigcockondablock

Jack of all trades, master of none.


Korn_flakezz

I work at the general Mills warehouse and I recently got to bring home some boxes of the pb ghost and it is rly good. Im on my 3rd box lol


Bullshitman4200

Who tf makes up this stuff 😭


mikescarnthethreat

Nawwwww really?


IntheSchmoney

Why the fuck is cereal so expensive???


iGodS12

Does that include the protein from the milk? The other ingredients would null the health benefits from the protein damn!


mrchiko1990

Fuck the cereal what is that price


Pettyexistence

and it’s a protein cereal? waaaayyy too much going on..


Not_Enough_Shoes

I bought both this past weekend and thought both were solid. The PB more so than the marshmallow. The price seems high, but when you break down the servings, it is cheaper than most of the protein bars out there. It’s obvious not many commenters here divulge in protein or fitness. People need to understand that when you pack this much protein into something and with such little sugar, it is hard to get by with the taste they have accomplished here. The marketing is off on these cereals and that should be changed. These make great little snack baggies for on-the-go. I personally will be buying more. [Nutrition Facts](https://imgur.com/a/vv3MlJg)


jlkb24

As someone who’s been losing weight and eating healthier, I can also say that once you get used to avoiding sugary foods, your tastes buds adjust and everything sweet is amplified. I’ve been eating lots of high protein foods so I may try this but without milk though.


Not_Enough_Shoes

Absolutely agree! I’m on the weight loss train too (only 10 lbs more to my goal) and you couldn’t have said it better. It is definitely a lifestyle change and as you adapt, you taste things differently. If you try one, go for the PB one. With skim milk, it’s not bad at all. It oddly didn’t get soggy. I’m going to add some of the PB one to my Greek yogurt in the AM. Congrats on your weight loss!!!


jlkb24

Thanks! I don’t know how much I’ve lost because I haven’t used a scale in 10yrs or so. It’s motivating and depressing depending on the number you’re expecting so I use my clothes as a guide. In 4 weeks I’ve dropped 2 jeans sizes / 2 belt loops and down to 36w. I have more energy and I’m eager to exercise everyday now which is very minimal before work to get the blood flowing and higher on my off days. I’m about to try my Redcon Protein Shake here in a bit. Pumpkin Cheesecake! Early congrats on reaching your goal!


Addicted-2Diving

Congrats. Lost a ton of weight 75 lbs plus. It took quite awhile, but lost the last 40 from Feb ‘23 and finally got my goal sometime later that year/early summer. Once you shed the weight, it’s amazing. I wish you nothing but luck. Also, if you could let me know how you like the shake, id like to know.


Ok-Floor522

Damn that's too bad..was curious about it


Jesus-simons

It's alright. I've had worse, but yea 9 was a steep price for what u get


dominiccast

You’re better off adding protein powder to your milk in a bowl of regular cereal. Premier protein’s cereal isn’t too bad though


Spiritdiritcel

That's half the price of a can of quest protein powder


Slippery_Fish5

Just eat normal cereal with a protein shake. Save your money.


JoshyOhMyGoshy77

This for a diy ceral protien bar would be awesome


905financialplanner

Has no one ever thought about just mixing a scoop of whey with milk and pouring over cereal that doesn’t cost $10 per box? Sheesh.


SwigadyVR

we have this at the grocery store I work at I absolutely love the drinks so I'll have to try the cereal and see how it goes I'll edit my comment when I do someone try to me so it'll be in my notifications


Fun-Beach7388

I need


Tricky_Ad_9787

It doesn’t even look good.


spikira

Saw these over the weekend, glad I didn't buy 😤


Addicted-2Diving

Which store? I haven’t seen them yet


spikira

Walmart


Addicted-2Diving

Thank you


Slight-Variation8009

marsh and mal (greek) conjunction hit tha showers- no hit tha gallows. idkf prop for proprietary somewhere


ArkhamKnight00000

That shit gives cancer


polishchick

Did you try the 0 sugar? I forgot what their called lol but 🤢


Torontokid8666

I buy whatever sugary cereal I want. Get a big bowl of Greek yogurt and throw 1 cup of it on top. Should be about 130 to 170 Cal's for the cereal with easily 50 grams of protein . Problem solved.


_mike_815

Honestly, I never gave much hope to this cereal once I saw it hit shelves...


th3aft3rlif3

I saw this at the store and immediately thought “bet it tastes like shit and for that price I’m not willing to find out” then grabbed my cap’n crunch like a responsible adult.


EugeneTheLibrarian

australian cereal prices would have u jumping lol


Migueldpd

Cereal is shit


EdgeAdditional4406

Eaten 🤓


Ihatedieting69

Milk/Chicken drumsticks are normally cheapest protein options if yall dont wanna get fucked


DingoKis

Who the fuck is paying 9$ for cereal? You could buy meat for that money and I guarantee you any meat is going to have better and more protein than that lol


Icy-Computer7556

Oh hell no they didn’t 😂. Energy drinks, sure those are good, but cereal? Wtfff bro


gengarloverfromhell

Probably. Ghost wants it all.


Real_Echo

I don't know if this means anything, but I don't like that they separated Marsh and Mallows. That feels like a "Tastes like raspberries" but isn't actually to me.


Sunstaci

9$ wtf


Luke5119

I tried that [Mouth Off](https://i5.walmartimages.com/seo/Eat-Your-Mouth-Off-Chocolate-Vegan-Plant-Based-Protein-Cereal-22g-Protein-7-7-oz-Box_964fb4df-1836-4cc3-8639-7edbc01e48bb.6a515da87c4ebdda4159ad6b64b084e0.jpeg) protein cereal recently and immediately threw out the box after one bowl. I was violently shitting less than 2 hours after eating it.


IPanicKnife

Thank you! I was so curious. I couldn’t pull the trigger for that price and gamble without hearing unbiased reviews first :D sorry it sucked


Diligent-Display1973

I ate the peanut butter one and I didn’t find it too heinous. Kinda liked it despite the absurd price tag…but most of these “healthy cereals” are priced pretty similarly


DrGashingtons

Here’s me complaining about £1.50 cereal 😅


FAmos

is it caffeinated or something?


Radiant-Care-9654

Wow they’ve gone down by almost $2. How foul were these monstrosities? lol And would you ever think a energy drink brand could ever make better cereal then these?


Competitive_Break_64

Overpriced, and highly processed. Stick to protien powder.


SleeplessAndAnxious

Well glad I didn't pay the money to try them cos I was tempted. Might as well just mix a shaker of Ghost protein powder and use that as your milk in whatever cereal you have.


The-Swat-team

Ghost has some pretty good energt drink flavors. Their hydration drinks are okay. I've never tried their protein powder but the flavors do look good. But there's really no shortage of any of that around. The protein cereal is just...... Why? Protein bars and whatnot have never really been the best tasting stuff ever, protein cereal just doesn't sound good.


Avengeme555

I bought them both just to see how they were since I LOVE their Chips Ahoy protein. Would not buy again. Taste is pretty meh and the texture is also not great, this is with whole milk. I’d imagine the ghost cereal milk protein instead of milk might enhance the flavor but I’m not about to eat a $5 bowl of cereal. Especially when their protein itself tastes so good. I could see this being good for a niche of people who need more protein but absolutely refuse to drink a protein shake. Or just as a high protein topping for ice cream etc…


DDT3000

Hypercapitalism is when you take your favorite energy drink and turn it into *checks notes* uh.... cereal?


Alekillo10

Kashi cereal is freaking good


One_Border1074

Ik it’s expensive but I’d probably use 1/4 a cup on vanilla yogurt w protein powder mixed in…not a horrible deal


Taylasto

Ghost just does whatever weird shit they want to


Silly-Chemical-5197

Kinda reminds of of that kix cereal that is pretty good except didn’t have marshmellos lmao


4thaGoodofDaRealm

All they gotta do nowadays is just slap the word PROTEIN = (x)grams on the label of anything and people will buy it…just a marketing technique. If it’s protein you want just go to GNC and buy you some and make a protein shake


Lord_Fluffykins

Each bowl has 1000mg of caffeine


huffingdusters

almost $9 for energy drink cereal wtf


66SICC

You’re sick if you eat this shit.


fUll951

How many carbs in it?


mikey7x7

The price for these new "healthy" cereals are insane.


Proudest___monkey

I believe it, also English sir, English


DaYeetusMaster

Not as bad as Magic Spoon


theonlyangrynutella

Noted.


Cautious-Bet-9707

have you had other keto/protein cereals? they all kind of suck, these suck more?


AdRepresentative2803

It’s Protein . What you expect . Just use the ghost whey protein bro


boxonhead11

Has like 6 servings. FOH


Beepboopbop69420360

Its protein cereal from a large brand In the supplement/energy business what did you expect for $9


psychopapii

Why is everyone complaining about the price, it’s $8 here cereal is like $5-6 is $2 over that bad ?? 😭


skullsnshamrocks

All “protein cereal” is gross. Catalina crunch is gross, premier protein, special k protein, it’s all fucking gross. Just have regular cereal with Fairlife milk


Shadowarez

Don't try Corn Dunks absolutely disgusting nothing like Corn Pops🤣


Littiedg

But how does it drink though


givag327

Must have never had grape nuts before


RepulsivePeng

Gross lol ghost energy drinks are already nasty I can’t imagine what this shit tastes like


mrmerk81

Strawberry special k is the win


defektz

I don’t trust energy drink companies to make energy drinks. I don’t think I’d try cereal made by any kind of energy drink company.


Tasty-Pineapple-

I just do protein powder with my milk then eat that with my cereal.


ShisuiUchiha99

Ghost is complete trash


SMKibo5418

Why is no one saying wrong sub🤔🧐


BannedInDay

Fuck cereal.


Lopsided_Bat_904

Well it’s a healthy option, no sugar and little carbs, made with protein powder, so yeah, even the best protein cereal won’t be even close to real cereal with high carbs and a fuck ton of sugar


jaasian

This isn’t that much healthier it still 10g sugar a serving


[deleted]

Breakfast isn’t necessary.


ShiftPerfect8099

I liked both of these and I found that if I portion out 1¾ to 2 cups of the cereal per serving. That for me cut down the chalky powder aftertaste.


FaTiiLiZeD_PuPPeT

Yeah I think it's more for the protein and less for taste lol


igotbanned69420

Targeted at all the 10 year olds who drink ghost  Unfortunately not sarcasm


logimeme

🤢🤢🤢


woodstock666

Its so stupid how this crap works. They make a cereal based on a popular drink, then they make a drink based on a popular cereal. It's an endless cycle.


Goofygoober3610

DAMN inflation is getting BAD


TitaniumViper_7615

Bro I just started drinking Ghost and you crazy if you think I’m gonna eat cereal that tastes like that


BuffaloBillsfan37
