Abstract
Breakfast cereal products coated with a cold-water-soluble coating made from milk solids or high protein, vitamins, and mineral supplement powders adhering to the surface of the cereal via an adhesive or conditions making the surface of the cereal adherent are described. The cereal itself may contain in its basic recipe milk solids, fibers, sugars, fats and carbohydrates, various proteins and minerals, thus classifying the basic cereal formula as a high energy and/or high protein and/or high fiber cereal product, which may be fortified with other essential minerals and vitamins used commonly as dietary supplements. This product is processed in a manner so that a coating is applied composed of such products which remain soluble in cold water at the time of consumption, even after drying and eliminates the need for liquid milk requiring only tap water to generate a similar taste, color, and texture, as well as mouth sensation, at the time of consumption of the cereal.
