Chocolate for Breakfast, Part 3
May

2016
My earlier post had been about some new chocolate (or chocolatey) cereals. We found another chocolate cereal that has joined the breakfast game: Love Crunch
Since it needs a longer name to make a good acronym, I’ll go with its full title of Love Crunch Dark Chocolate and Red Berries : LCDCaRB
It has a good taste but that comes at a price of nutrition. Or serving size. Take your pick. If you look at the nutrition information, it doesn’t look that bad compared to other cereals. It has more fat but less sodium. And since it’s granola, it should be the good kind of fat.
But…
the nutrition information is for a serving size of 1/4 cup. Go ahead and measure the amount of cereal you normally pour for yourself. Chances are good that it’s nowhere near 1/4 cup. A quarter cup is 4 tablespoons.
Anyway, this cereal is made with normal ingredients, so it tastes good. Especially the dark chocolate chunks.
Here is the nutrition information, normalized to the 3/4 serving size that other cereals use:
- 18g of fat
- 3g sat. fat
- 165 mg sodium
- 6g of fiber
- 18g of sugar
- 420 calories
I used to rank the cereals, with good taste and good nutrition at the top and bad taste and bad nutrition at the bottom. I couldn’t fit LCDCaRB anywhere in that list, so I gave up. Just enjoy the taste and ignore the calories.
Oh, and buy it on sale.
