Cereal can be cereal-ously (…get it) confusing when it comes to understanding its nutritious value. Whilst most cereals are widely thought to be a healthy breakfast option for adults and children, there are actually many which are very high in sugar and will not keep you full for very long. It can be a bit of a minefield finding high-in-fibre and low-in-sugar cereal when there are now so many types and brands to choose from. And let’s be honest, there are many of us who would enjoy that bowl of sugary coco pops over a bowl of nutty squirrel food any day.
Surreal
Introducing Surreal – the gamechanger. With a mission to make breakfast cereal both healthy and delicious, Surreal have developed their cereal to be full of good things to fuel your body, without compromising on taste. Using plant-based ingredients and natural flavours and sweeteners, Surreal is full of flavour and has a perfect, crunchy texture. Surreal is high in protein and fibre, has got zero sugar, is low carb and Keto friendly, and if that wasn’t enough it is also gluten free and vegan.
Surreal’s key ingredient is Tapioca Starch, the root of a cassava plant which is naturally high in fibre and promotes a healthy digestive system while boosting energy levels. As it is vegan, Surreal gets it protein from Soy Protein Isolate, a complete protein that contains all essential amino acids the body needs for growth and repair. It is cereal without the cereal and is completely nutritionally relevant.
Surreal is committed to ‘Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, and a Healthy Planet’. Healthy bodies are created with their deliciously nutritional ingredients. Healthy minds are encouraged with their playfully punny marketing. Healthy planet is the tricky one, but Surreal are committed to achieving their B-Corp certificate, and removing all plastic from their packaging.

What’s my verdict?
Seriously impressed. It’s hard to believe that Surreal has zero sugar when it tastes as good as it does. A personal favourite of mine was the Cinnamon, although I did mix some melted dark chocolate into a mixture of the Cocoa and the Peanut Butter Surreal to create crispy cakes and I would highly advise you don’t do this if you want to avoid eating it all in one go…. I was obsessed. No regrets.
Moreover, after my first bowl I was full all morning (and admittedly probably wasn’t even ready for lunch) which I never normally am after cereal. My boyfriend, who isn’t vegan, loved it and especially liked that it has a very satisfying crunch, even after being sat in milk. It has been reviewed as the “tastiest cereal on the market” and I would say it has made me a cereal lover once more.
