Catalina Crunch earns polarized reviews: fans praise its high-protein, high-fiber formulas, intense crunch, and flavors like Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cinnamon Toast, and Honey Oat with Almonds, while detractors cite a strong stevia/sugar alcohol aftertaste, cardboardy or chalky flavor, and overly hard texture. Reviews also note standout cookies and snack mixes, but report inconsistent flavor quality and, for some, off-putting chemical notes; those who enjoy low-sugar cereals or use it as a yogurt or snack topper tend to be happiest.

obsessed with the snack mix and the cinnamon toast crunch cereal - healthy and super filling without needing to eat to much of it. the sweetener is barely noticeable. always stock up when available at costco.

I tried these cereals while on a vacation, looking for a quick, healthy-ish breakfast option. I did not enjoy the artificially sweet flavor from the sweetener they used, but I liked the texture of the cereal and felt good about the ratio of macros. If they could find a better way to sweeten it, I think it would be much better. I tried the Cinnamon Toast, the Honey, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter - I think the honey flavor was the best because it had the least artificial aftertaste.
Catalina Crunch is a healthy option for cereal as a snack or a meal. I like the low-carb and zero-sugar options, along with the fact that they have flavors similar to the traditional cereal options, such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My only complaints would be the lack of flavor compared with other protein or traditional cereals. Also, the price is quite high.

The cereal's dense, crunchy texture is a hit with some, especially when paired with milk and yogurt and fruit,it has a little aftertaste but is still a good cereal that I enjoy very much. It is Keto friendly and delicious.

I like This cereal, but I am not in love with it. I love the idea of the added protein and a healthier option with less sugar, but I think this tastes a little chalky for my tastes. The big bag at Costco is a great value though

I tried one flavor of cereal from this brand. I ate it without any milk because that's typically how I consume cereal on the rare occasions that I do eat it. It tasted good, but I couldn't see myself getting it again due to the higher cost and the fact that I'm not a cereal person.

I love eating this cereal as a snack, without milk. My favorite is the Maple Vanilla flavor. It is a bit hard and crunchy, but overall it has a really great taste and I like that it's high in protein.

Do not buy this product. I got the honey graham and tried it for the first time an hour ago. The extreme aspartame aftertaste has not remotely dissipated in that time and I’m worried I will never be able to taste anything but this ever again. It’s one of the worst things I’ve ever tasted.

I loved the Chocolate Peanut Butter Catalina Crunch. Love that it is low-carb with plant based protein and no added sugar. Great flavor - definitely worth the money.
I actually love their cinnamon toast cereal so much I end up finishing the bag in one sitting. I think a lot of people are put off by the fake sugar sweetness flavor you taste as you chew it and the accompanying aftertaste, but it's like so odd and bland in a way that I enjoy it so much. Thus, I would only recommend if you're into very particular tastes like that. The downside is that their smaller bags are too expensive, therefore only worth purchasing occasionally or looking for big bag from Costco. Also, although I believe it has good macros, I'm not really a fan of the ingredients compared to other cereal alternatives I've tried.
I have tried their protein snack mix and they were good! Good amount of saltiness and the crunch mix is good for light snacking and will be a healthier choice instead of snacking on potato chips. I also tried their berry crunch but this one was a little too sour for me for a everyday cereal to eat.
I tried the chocolate version, and it was just so so sweet. I may just be sensitive to the sweetener in it because I know other people who love it!
Some flavors are nice for a snack, many have that kind of synthetic-y sugar aftertaste that makes me feel like I am eating something that's not so great for me, no matter how keto-y is may be. All in all, a great road trip snack or grocery store impulse buy! I won't be a daily Catalina Crunch eater but I am also not keto, so my heart is open to other snacks and cereals.
Delicious. My friend in the fitness industry gave me Catalina Crunch snacks as an opportunity to snack and get more protein in. I high lit recommend plus the snacks are versatile, both savory and sweet.
The cereal is terrible but the cookies are great. Go for the cookies.
I eat a LOT of catalina crunch, even though I don't think its delicious. It's the best keto cereal, comparatively, so far, but don't expect Cinnamon Toast Crunch levels of pleasure. The chocolate flavor is especially heinous.
I tried the cinnamon cereal and it tasted like cardboard :( but its vegan with great macros at least
I tried the Honey Graham cereal, oddly sweet, somewhat unpleasant taste. Will not buy again
I used to online order this cereal to my home. I really enjoye the graham cracker, and chocolate cereal. I filled up fairly fast and loved these for my snacks during the day with some nuts in it. I never ate with milk, so I’m not sure how the cereal holds up in milk. I still have a pack of chocolate cereal which I’ll probably eat very soon.

I can only eat a handful of cereal at a time. After awhile I do kinda get a cardboardy taste.
I have been buying Catalina Crunch cereal for the last few years. There are certainly flavors that are not my favorite (Maple and Cinnamon), but they are worth it to find the best flavor for you. I love the Dark Chocolate, it is by far the best flavor. I have also really enjoyed their limited edition flavors that my local Sprouts sometimes carries. The Apple limited edition flavor in the fall was amazing. I did not have high expectations for the pumpkin spice flavor, but it was also very yummy. For their regular flavors, the Dark Chocolate and Chocolate Peanut butter are my favorite flavors! I use this product as a topping for yogurts, ice cream, etc.
