Same calories. Completely different bowl of cereal.
Over 2x the protein. Less than half the sodium. A third less added sugar.
"Made with real cinnamon" on the box? True, but it's topped off with sugar, fructose, dextrose, and maltodextrin, the fake sugar crew, plus BHT, a preservative banned in some countries. Real cinnamon doesn't mean clean.
Honest notes: fiber's basically a wash (1g vs. 2g), and Cinnamon Toast Crunch's bowl is about 5g heavier since Lovebird's protein blend is more calorie-dense per gram. Doesn't change the bigger picture.
