Birthday Cake Protein Oats — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Birthday Cake Protein Oats by Freaking Protein Oats OKAY — score 58/90.

A genuinely clean protein-oat base, but the birthday-cake flavoring leans on maple sugar and dates, so it's sweeter than a plain bowl of oats.

Why this verdict

• Whole grain oats and a clean plant protein blend make a strong base
• Chia and flax add fiber and omega-3s
• Sweetened mostly with monk fruit, but maple sugar and dates still add free sugars
