It doesn\u2019t taste like the original, just with added protein. Some might see that as an improvement, but I don\u2019t. Even with a \u201ctouch of cinnamon,\u201d which is an accurate description because it\u2019s liiiiiiight, the flavor isn\u2019t an upgrade. I notice the spice, but I wish this had a gentle rubdown of cinnamon rather than the whisper it currently offers.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kelrsnbranprocer3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"It was easy to take this picture because I always have a box of Raisin Bran in my kitchen.\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-77681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kelrsnbranprocer3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kelrsnbranprocer3.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kelrsnbranprocer3.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kelrsnbranprocer3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It also doesn\u2019t feel like regular Raisin Bran. The flakes are closer in texture to those in Raisin Bran Crunch, which, again, some might see as an improvement because the thin flakes in the regular version go soggy quickly. They\u2019re thicker, probably due to the soy protein isolate, and that thickness makes them more crunchy than crispy. So I guess the protein can help bulk up bran flakes as well as muscles.<\/p>\n<p>What could use some bulking up is the flavor of the shriveled grapes, which are not as sweet as what\u2019s in the original. This makes their taste less noticeable than what\u2019s in regular Raisin Bran. Also, and maybe it\u2019s just my box, there appear to be fewer than two scoops of them. A stronger cinnamon punch might\u2019ve made up for the diminished raisins, but of course, that didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>Other than the protein, this cereal is a lesser version of Kellogg\u2019s original Raisin Bran. As a fan and regular eater of the classic, I thought this protein-enhanced version could eventually be my go-to when it comes to shriveled grapes and bran flakes. But its underwhelming cinnamon flavor and raisins delivered two scoops of disappointment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $5.69<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 17.3 oz box<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Target<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 1\/4 cup &#8211; 61 grams) 210 calories, 1 gram of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 260 milligrams of sodium, 46 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 15 grams of sugar (includes 7 grams of added sugar), and 9 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kellogg\u2019s Raisin Bran Protein Cereal has one gram less fiber and four grams more protein than Kellogg\u2019s original Raisin Bran, and I know that off the top of my head.
