In the name of public service, and perhaps a touch of morbid curiosity, I embarked on a perilous culinary journey. My mission? To determine if Wicked Cereal, the latest plant-based breakfast offering from Wicked Kitchen, truly lives up to its 'wicked good' moniker. Spoiler alert: you can thank me later.
Wicked Kitchen has carved out a niche for itself with its extensive line of plant-based products, aiming to make vegan food accessible and delicious.
So, when their new Wicked Cereal hit the shelves, promising a revolutionary breakfast experience, I was intrigued. Available in "Sweet Maple Syrup Flavor" and "Cinnamon Swirl," these cereals boast a commitment to natural ingredients and a plant-powered start to your day. But does ambition translate to appetite appeal?
My first foray into the Wicked Cereal universe began with the Sweet Maple Syrup flavor.
From the moment the first spoonful met my palate, a profound disappointment settled in. The flavor, rather than evoking the warm, inviting notes of maple, was an odd, almost savory and salty concoction that left me bewildered. It was less "sweet maple syrup" and more "maple adjacent," a distant cousin that barely shares a family resemblance.
And then there's the texture. Oh, the texture! Within moments of contact with milk, the supposedly crunchy O's dissolved into a bland, textureless mush. The experience was, to put it mildly, truly gross. It lacked any semblance of the satisfying crunch one expects from a breakfast cereal, quickly transforming into a gruel-like consistency that made each spoonful a regrettable endeavor.
Undeterred (or perhaps just gluttons for punishment), I moved on to the Cinnamon Swirl flavor.
My hopes, though dimmed, flickered slightly. Surely, cinnamon—a universally beloved spice—could redeem the Wicked Cereal brand? While it proved to be marginally less offensive than its maple counterpart, the Cinnamon Swirl still fell far short of expectations. The taste was oddly stale, lacking the vibrant, comforting punch of cinnamon.
Like its predecessor, it suffered from the same fatal flaw: an immediate and irreversible transformation into a disheartening mush upon meeting milk. There was no lingering crunch, no delightful chew; just a rapid descent into bland, softened oblivion.
Beyond the flavors and textures, there are other considerations.
The cereal comes in a rather utilitarian bag, eschewing the traditional box for a 'no frills' approach. And then there's the price point: $5.99 for a 12-ounce bag. For a product that delivered such a consistently disappointing experience, it felt steep. While I appreciate Wicked Kitchen's dedication to plant-based innovation, this particular venture seems to have missed the mark entirely.
In conclusion, Wicked Cereal is not, in fact, "wicked good." It's a bland, mushy, and ultimately regrettable breakfast experience that left me longing for a truly satisfying bowl of cereal.
So, if you're wondering whether to give it a try, rest assured: I've eaten it so you don't have to. You're welcome.
