If you’re a food brand in 2025 and you haven’t released a version with added protein, are you even a real brand? We’ve seen cereal brands like Magic Spoon make the leap from online sales to grocery store aisles. There’s even going to be [a jacked protein-infused Edible Mascot](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/meet-the-2025-pop-tarts-bowl-edible-elite-pop-tarts-unwraps-rosters-for-team-sprinkles-and-team-swirls-featuring-an-all-new-buff-protein-edible-mascot-302629795.html?ref=theomnicosm.com) leading one of the Pop-Tarts Bowl crews. 

And now a staple of breakfast cereals is getting in on the protein action, with Post rolling out **Honey Bunches of Oats Protein** beginning today. The cereal company notes that the new offshoot of the classic cereal, available in Cinnamon and Honey & Almond, is “designed for today’s health-conscious consumer” and “is ideal for anyone who wants a more balanced, protein forward cereal.”

### The cost

I didn’t see a price for Honey Bunches of Oats Protein while putting this **Quick Bites** together, but with the new cereal going live today, that info should be available soon for 15 oz. boxes.

### The thoughts

I’m not normally a Honey Bunches of Oats eater, but I definitely came into this taste test with an open mind. On the rare occasion when my wife picks out a box of cereal at the grocery store, she usually goes for Honey Bunches of Oats — and I trust her taste. (Except when it comes to olives. Yeesh.)

I love the cinnamon taste that you immediately get when you take your first bite of Honey Bunches of Oats Protein Cinnamon. There’s a great mix of flavors and textures in this cereal, and the Oat + Protein Granola Bunches are the star of the cereal. I should probably buy some regular Honey Bunches of Oats to see if there’s a taste difference between them and this version with added protein. (I also love that the front of the box drives home the fact that Honey Bunches of Oats Protein is a “good source of protein!”
