Catalina Crunch, one of the most popular high-protein cereal brands, has been creating nutritious foods for health-conscious consumers since 2018. As a person with type 1 diabetes, the founder, Krishna Kaliannan, felt there was a gap in the market for delicious products that were low in sugar and high in protein and fiber. And with that, he developed Catalina Crunch. The first product on the market, Catalina Crunch dark chocolate cereal, was followed by its cult-favorite cinnamon toast cereal, which can now be found in large retailers like Costco, Target, Walmart and Whole Foods. Their cereal collection now features apple cider donut, pumpkin spice, blueberry muffin with blueberries, maple waffle, chocolate peanut butter, honey graham, and fruity.

Not only have its cereals become a big success, but its lineup of offerings has also expanded to include granola, snack mixes, cookie bars, and cookies. Its traditional flavor of snack mix features roasted cashews, chickpea pretzels, soy protein wheels, and its signature cereal, giving a savory, salty bite to high-protein snackers. It then expanded to offer cheddar, creamy ranch, honey mustard, and its latest addition—Spicy Kick Protein Snack Mix—which features the same breakdown of snacks inside the bag, but with a “zesty hot pepper flavor.” Each serving contains 10 grams of protein, five grams of fiber and zero grams of added sugar. The protein comes from a variety of sources, including pea protein, chickpea flour, and the natural protein found in cashews and cheddar cheese. This snack is gluten-free and contains no artificial sweeteners or flavors.
