HighKey Snacks Keto Breakfast Food Hot Cereal - Low Carb Instant Oatmeal Substitute - Gluten & Grain Free, Low Sugar Snack - Ketogenic Products, Paleo, High Protein Diet Foods - Cocoa Almond

I was seriously surprised and pleased by this! I bought it just on a whim to try something healthier (because I love hot cereals). When I read all the ingredients I worried because I had a pretty unpleasant experience with a supplement containing monkfruit, so I immediately thought this was going to be bad. I prepared it according to the instructions and to my great surprise and satisfaction...it was delicious. It tastes like a trail mix hot cereal. And the monkfruit provided a mild sweetness with no unpleasant aftertaste like my previous experiences - and my palate is very sensitive to all other forms of sweetener, both natural and artificial. The other thing that really surprised me was the serving size. I am a fairly small built woman, but eat like a huge grown man. The 1/3c serving in the bottom of the bowl made me think, "ARE YOU KIDDING? I'm going eat this and still be starving!" Quite the contrary!! After eating this I was completely satisfied, as in no longer hungry AND no longer craving anything else. Completely and utterly satisfied. And I didn't get hungry again until well after lunch time (which never happens!) I will be ordering more of this for myself and some for my husband to try (because I do to want to share mine, lol!)

I tried this on a whim because I needed one more subscribe and save item to get 15% off my dogs food (because that makes sense lol)Anyway, I have been doing Keto for 2ish years and was not expecting much from this hot cereal. For starters I was worried it would have a weird overly sweet taste some of these sugar-free, keto-friendly products can have. Additionally I was concerned because I never really cared for breakfast food let alone oatmeal type things.HOWEVER! I was so stoked when I tried this. It has a good consistency that I did not mind it was thick like an oatmeal but had a slightly jelly feel to it from the chia seeds but it wasn’t gross (to me anyway)The flavor was actually really good and well balanced and the overly sweet taste I was worried about was not a problem it was just slightly sweet which was awesome.I will buy this again and I am eager to try the other flavors!

First things first, this Cocoa Almond flavor is delicious! I tend to use a little less water than called for so it's a little thicker, and I really enjoy the bit of chew and crunch from the nuts - that gives such a different experience than drinking a shake for breakfast.The flavor itself is lightly chocolate, and does have a hint of coconut as well, which is a great combo with the almonds. Kind of like an Almond Joy? But not too sweet - and I don't get any weird non-sugar aftertaste. Flavor is A+.The portion size is decent - it isn't huge, but will make you feel like you ate something. Net carbs are low.The sole negative for me is the high price - I know we are trained to believe anything labeled keto or Paleo is going to cost a lot - but as much as I love this, I wouldn't eat it daily because it's 7 servings for (currently) thirteen bucks. I would for sure be interested in the option to buy a larger pack for lower cost per serving, though!Overall, I really love it but will only be buying it occasionally.

Claims 7.5 servings (which makes the cost a couple of dollars per small bowl) but that’s only 1/3 cup ... which is very little if you’re accustomed to normal-size bowl of hot cereal.If it at least tasted okay, you might want to justify the high price, but not this keto product.The real questions begin when you look at the nutritional numbers: 11 grams of carbs per small serving. That’s half your daily carb allowance if you’re on the keto diet !!! C’mon !This is almost fraud, since the NAME of the product is Keto .. Cereal.Read the labels, people.Various store-shelf cereals are quite similar in carbs and nutritional value ... and cost far less; and certainly taste better.So my advice: buyer-beware, and compare the numbers.

I can’t say that I loved it, but I didn’t hate it. I used 1/3 cup mix and 1/3 cup water, I think it’d been better with 1/4 water.The portion size LOOKS small, but it’s really filling and hits the spot when you want something like oatmeal. Don’t expect it to taste like oatmeal though. The texture is much different; you can taste the nuttiness of the cereal.As far as the taste goes, it’s almost like a healthy brownie. Little bit of dark chocolate, little coconut flavor, and the nuts/ seeds they added. It’s not bad, but I can’t say it’s the best thing I’ve had. I’ll eat it again, but I don’t know that i’d buy it again.If you go in expecting a hot cereal, and not like something you’d had before, you’ll be ok. If you expect it to taste like oatmeal or grits or something of the sort, your tastebuds will be very confused.Overall, not bad, but not good either. It’s edible and a hot cereal for us Keto folks.

Having been on a strict Keto diet now for two years, I truly began to miss the 'crunchy' texture in my meals. I have tried the keto 'puff' cereals, but they didn't satisfy me nutritionally and I always felt hungry afterwards as they were not a good balance of fats, protein and carbs.Now, this cereal, is AWESOME! I was surprised just how great it tasted given some mediocre reviews. I LOVE the texture, the taste, and it fills me up ... satisfies me until my next meal. I do add heavy cream to the cereal to increase the fat content and it does add a nice flavor. The cereal is not overly sweet, as are so many keto prepared foods and snacks.I've added this cereal to my 'subscribe and save' order list and will now delve into discovering what other great products this company has to offer.
