Three Wishes Cinnamon Grain-Free Cereal — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Three Wishes Cinnamon Grain-Free Cereal by Three Wishes ENGINEERED — score 35/90.

This is the cleanest of the better-for-you cereal crop: a real chickpea-and-pea-protein base, one teaspoon-ish of cane sugar, cinnamon and a whisper of monk fruit. It is still an extruded, NOVA 4 formulation with a two-sweetener sweetness system, so it lands as engineered, but the marketing is close to honest and the ingredient list is genuinely short. Among these products, it is the one to reach for.

Why this verdict

• Whole-food base of chickpea and pea protein is a real positive and unusual for the category
• NOVA 4 ultra-processed by Open Food Facts; extruded and formulated rather than simply cooked
• Two sweeteners stacked (organic cane sugar plus monk fruit) engineer sweetness while keeping added sugar to 3g
• Short list of eight recognizable ingredients with no gums, colors or flavor enhancers
• Marketing claims (grain-free, plant-based, 8g protein, 3g sugar) hold up against the label
