Start-up cereal brand BRAVE is developing 'no-cereal cereals' that are nutrient dense and use biodiverse, sustainable ingredients. Alexandra Foster, buyer at Whole Foods Market, described BRAVE’s Super Hoops as “one of the most exciting and innovative products I've seen this year”, adding: “The category is ripe for disruption and BRAVE is answering the increased demand for delicious, healthy and sustainable options. We’re confident we’ll see strong performance.”

Moreover, Super Hoops are high in fibre, containing 15g per 100g in the Original flavour – up to four times more than other leading cereal brands – as well as being lower carb, with just 23g of net carbs per 100g (up to 57g less than other leading brands). It took us 18 months and over 100 trials to get it right, and it was worth it. We’re so proud of Super Hoops and we can’t wait to disrupt the category.” Designed with a unique blend of macros, our new cereal has 3.5x more protein, 50% fewer carbs and 99% less sugar vs the leading cereal brand.

No Artificial Additives: We keep it natural with no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives in our Super Hoops. BRAVE is not the only brand to recently launch healthier breakfast cereal options. In May, European startup Crispy Fantasy introduced chocolate hoops made with soy and pea protein, containing 50% less sugar than leading cereal brands. The same month, protein bar brand Misfits also launched a higher-protein, lower-sugar cereal, available in chocolate and cinnamon flavours. While wheat, corn and rice were “highly destructive to the environment”, pulses were a regenerative crop that helped rejuvenate soil and used significantly less water, said Brave.

BRAVE’s new product contains no added sugar, and only 1.8g of naturally occurring sugars per 100g (10 times less than other leading brands). There’s been a few entrants into this space recently, but as a point of differentiation, we built our proposition and price point with retail in mind since day one. There’s a huge demand for a premium healthy, zero-sugar cereal, so we know Super Hoops will add tremendous value.” On a mission to revolutionise the cereal category, BRAVE founders Amber and Seb Fraser-Sokol set out to invent their no-cereal cereal, which delivers on taste, high nutrient density and uses biodiverse, sustainable ingredients (without any grains or soya).
