WK Kellogg Co. Unveils First 100% Plant-Based Cereal After Split From Kellogg’s

BRAVE Launches Sugar-Free Breakfast Cereal Made With Pulses

UK plant-based snack brand BRAVE has introduced a grain-free, sugar-free breakfast cereal made from peas and chickpeas. Called Super Hoops, the product is higher in protein and fibre and lower in carbohydrates than most conventional cereals.

Super Hoops will initially be available in Original and Cinnamon flavours.
