“Cereal has been a big part of GHOST® since the very beginning,” said Dan Lourenco, Co-Founder and CEO of GHOST®. “What started as cereal inspired protein powder flavors evolved into a better for you protein cereal last year. Authentically collaborating with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms on the cereal is really a very cool and crowning moment for GHOST as we kick off our 10th year.”

This launch marks the latest innovation in General Mills’ rapidly expanding protein-enhanced product lineup across brands ranging from Cheerios and Progresso to Annie’s and Nature Valley. Building on the success of last year’s collaboration with GHOST®, it underscores General Mills' unwavering commitment to meeting the evolving needs of consumers who demand both delicious taste and powerful functional nutrition without compromise.
