SURREAL Reviews

3.3

SURREAL earns mixed reviews: many say it tastes good, delivers serious crunch, and offers high‑protein, low‑carb cereals that flavor milk and work as a snack, yet others find it overwhelmingly sweet with an artificial‑sweetener aftertaste. Reviews also praise Cocoa, Cinnamon, and Peanut Butter flavors and playful branding, while calling out dense, hard hoops, small portions, possible digestive upset, and boxes that feel underfilled.

    Loved this cereal and the mission - was pleasantly surprised by the taste and the crunch, given it uses a completely different set of ingredients to normal cereals. I got so excited that I went around the house comparing the protein content of one serving to other meals: it’s the same as two eggs, 3/4 tin of beans, 375g of my favourite Greek yoghurt. Amazing!

    The price point is very high and feels justified based on the portion size written on the box, but when you open it and measure out 30g, it does feel small. On the product itself, the texture and crunch is great, both plain and with milk. There is an ever so slight after taste though.

    Cereal tastes decent for a 'health' cereal. And the top of the box is already perforated, so you don't need to do any ripping and inevitably break the closure. It's the small things.

    Size of bag is supposedly "7 servings." Maybe if you're a small child. Price is high. I know, better quality ingredients and all. But then I find oats and PB work just fine.

    I like the taste, texture is fine. I like the fact that they are high in protein and low carbs but the boxes are very small and at nearly £9 a box after the discounts finish, that is just too high for me.

    Surreal is one of the most well-marketed products on the market. I ordered 8 boxes in 5 different flavors because I was really excited to try them. For the first 5 seconds, it actually tasted pretty good, but then an explosion of over-the-top sweetness hit me, followed by a brutal aftertaste. I couldn't finish any of the packs and ended up labeling it "inedible". Curios to see if my experience was unique, I shared the cereal with 7 colleagues at work, and none of them were able to finish even a small portion, which confirmed that the issue wasn't just my personal taste. Honestly, I could only imagine eating this cereal in a war where you are desperate and any source of calories would work.
