Protein Cocoa Balls

We use pea protein because it’s a high-quality plant protein that helps us boost the protein content naturally, while keeping our cereals delicious, light and crunchy.

Pea protein is technically classified as a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a great way to boost protein at breakfast.

However, it’s naturally lower in methionine, so it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. That’s easy with our high-protein cereal, because most people eat it with milk, yogurt, or a protein-rich dairy alternative like soy milk, which helps complement the amino acid profile.

In short: pea protein is a high-quality plant-based protein that can help support your daily protein intake. Turtle's organic high-protein cereals are an easy, tasty way to add more protein to your breakfast routine.

Yes — Turtle Protein cereal is gluten free, making it suitable for people with coeliac disease and for anyone avoiding gluten.

Some bigger brands boost protein by adding wheat gluten, but we prefer using higher-quality protein sources like pea protein instead. Gluten is not considered a high-quality standalone protein because it’s incomplete (naturally lower in certain essential amino acids), and it may cause digestive discomfort for people who are sensitive or intolerant.

At Turtle, we focus on making better-for-you, organic high-protein cereals that deliver strong nutrition. Not surprisingly, this is better digested by more people.
