Three Wishes Cereal earns mixed reviews: it satisfies many seeking gluten- and grain-free, high‑protein, low‑sugar cereal with clean, minimal ingredients and standout flavors like Cinnamon, Fruity, Chocolate, and Marshmallow, but others find artificial sweetener aftertaste, honey flavor that tastes synthetic, and a hard, sometimes stale or puffed texture that can get soggy or stick to teeth. Reviews affirm it works as a healthier alternative that keeps some eaters full and versatile over yogurt or as snacks, yet complaints about overly crunchy rings, cardboard-like mouthfeel, and muted or chemical-tasting flavors temper enthusiasm.

This cereal is pretty good! It does get stale and I have had better taste/texture protein products but it covers the "three wishes" that it promises on the package, so I am not complaining. And, the fruity flavor is bomb

I wish I could love it but the aftertaste is bad.

Great cereal! They have nice variety in flavors. The honey flavor is so delicious! The ingredients are simple and I enjoy the grain free aspect. The seasonal flavors are fun, too! Who can say no to Sugar Cookie cereal during the holidays?! The cereals aren't too sweet, but they're certainly not bland, I feel like they've struck a happy medium. The texture is wonderful. Not rock solid and they hold up well when milk is added - no mushy cereal here! My kids love it, I love it, I will continue to purchase! If you're "wishing" for some great cereal, try it! 😉
such good flavors !

This is my favorite cereal! I don’t love super sweet things and tried magic spoon recently. While the nutrition was impressive, it left a weird aftertaste in my mouth. I wanted a cereal with real sugar (albeit not a lot) and clean ingredients. I also wanted it to not be as expensive as magic spoon. I guess you could say those were my three wishes?? Anyway, this meets every requirement and is now always stocked in our house. I love it as a mid-morning post workout snack.
I love that this is a high-protein vegan cereal with overall good macros, the space has been missing options. Some flavors are better than others and I wouldn't eat too much because it could lead to an upset stomach, but that's true to a lot of food. I like it as a snack.

I'm a fan of these high protein, low sugar cereals. Definitely have a little bit of an interesting aftertaste (I think it's likely the monk fruit extract) but as a late night, low calorie snack, this is definitely a good option. My roommate's cupboard is always stocked full of Three Wishes, so whenever he's making a bowl I always steal a little.
Tastes extremely good with or without milk. I tried the honey flavor and loved it. Ingredients are great as well.
The Cinnamon is so so yummy! Love having this as a snack.
I love the concept of a more nutritious cereal + I love the minimal ingredients! I try to eat a low FODMAP diet due to gut issues, and the chickpea in this was surprisingly safe. Great vegan alt to Magic Spoon! Only docking 1 point bc of the weird aftertaste.

I've only tried the Honey variety, so maybe I just need to give some of the other flavors a shot. But honestly....it was just MEH. I felt like the flavor was okay, but they were super tough/crunchy. I've had a box in my pantry for a few weeks now and just keep reaching for other cereals because I don't love this one.
If your looking for a better alternative to cereal that taste good this isn’t it.

As someone always looking for ways to add protein into my diet more easily, so the cinnamon Three Wishes was an impulsive buy. It's great that they are doing a high protein and low sugar option, but the gluten free cereal definitely changes the texture in a way that feels less like cereal and a bit too healthy. For gluten free cereal, not bad, but the flavor and texture can't quite replace my sugary cereal preferences yet.

I was really excited about this Cereal as I am gluten-free but I was thoroughly disappointed and like that they are more natural and healthy than the big cereal alternatives. They tasted very stale and had a weird shape and feel in my mouth. Honestly, Cheerios are better.
Love the ingredients and that I feel good after eating this cereal, compared to other 'healthy cereals'
Feedback
The texture is very crunch (as other reviews have said), which I generally enjoy with cereals, but in this case, the circles are pretty large, making it difficult to chew. I think making the circles smaller would make it easier to chew the crunchiness of the cereal.
I tried the cinnamon flavor and seriously hated it. I totally feel for the 3g of sugar claim, thinking it was going to just be super subtly sweetened. Instead, they use a bit of sugar and a whole lot of monkfruit. I personally hate monkfruit and other sugar alcohols. They have this very distinct sweetener flavor that I cannot stand. I saw that they have an unsweetened version that I may give a try since I didn't mind the texture and liked the macros of the cinnamon version.
Feedback
They need to highlight that the cereal is sweetened with monkfruit. The 3g of sugar is so misleading as far as taste expectations go.

I like how the cereal doesn't look uniform and factory made, that's a plus to me. I love how it smells like maple syrup, downside it's hard? Sort of stale like, as well as it's not very cinnamon-ny. I've tasted better cinnamon cereals, I might try the other flavors but I don't think I'll waste my money again.

Add more cinnamon

I grabbed Three Wishes Cinnamon Cereal at Whole Foods and thought it was great! 10/10 would purchase again. I loved the brand story.

As a cereal lover, I really enjoy Three Wishes for breakfast (it makes me feel better that I'm not eating sugary childhood cereals every morning and still satisfies my craving while keeping me full).
Feedback
I've tried three flavors - Honey, Cinnamon, and Unsweetened. The Honey is my favorite, but it's still a little too sweet. The Cinnamon flavor tastes slightly superficial.

I really wanted to like this cereal, as I'm a sucker for sugary cereals but also don't eat them bc I know they are bad for me. However, I couldn't get over the artificial like taste.
Feedback
The aftertaste lingers and feels artificial and gives a funny feeling in my mouth.
