cinnamon toast protein cereal bark
do you remember those milk & cereal bars from the early 2000s? because THIS is delivering that nostalgic energy… just all grown up! protein-packed. lower sugar. gluten-free. made with ingredients you can actually feel good about.
it starts with a creamy, dreamy protein-milk situation (yes, cottage cheese is involved - obviously). then we bring that cinnamon toast crunch energy with a trio of my faves: catalina crunch + lovebird + BTR nation for that sweet, crunchy, functional food magic. and to finish? a glossy, further food's vanilla collagen boosted icing.
your inner 2003 self is screaming… and your grown-up self is thriving. 🥣🥛💪
