If you鈥檙e like us, you鈥檝e probably 颅out颅-grown sugary yogurts and breakfast cereals. But recently, young brands have reimagined old-school morning options into nutrient-packed power meals. The market is eating it up. Last year, , a direct-to-consumer 颅cereal brand, received $5.5 million in seed funding. And cottage-cheese maker raised $8 million.

Beyond serving up nostalgia (if it鈥檚 颅possible to feel nostalgic about the chalky cottage cheese of yore), the new offerings fast-track fueling on harried mornings. 鈥淭hey give people an easy way to fit in a satisfying breakfast,鈥� says , a registered dietitian nutritionist in Atlanta. 鈥淭op with a drizzle of nut butter and some fruit, and you鈥檙e all set.鈥� Here are some of our favorites.

The Cereal School聽($30 for 12 servings)

These individually packaged servings are aimed at the keto crowd. Each provides 16 grams of protein and just a single gram of net carbs. The flavors recall the cereals we grew up eating, but texturally they鈥檙e a bit homogeneous鈥攏o loops or flakes here. Each holds its own, but cocoa and fruity are standouts.

Off the Grid聽Waffles聽($6 for eight servings)

Available in a variety of flavors, including cinnamon brown sugar and wild blueberry, these frozen waffles have 12 grams of protein per serving. Made with whole grains and cage-free eggs, they鈥檙e a quick and comforting meal. The mouth feel might be a bit on the gritty side, especially if you鈥檝e had limited exposure to protein powder, but they鈥檙e a big improvement over the nutritionally questionable offerings of the past.

Good Culture 颅Cottage Cheese聽($2 and up)

Gone are the days of watery, sugar-spiked cottage cheese. Good Culture鈥檚 take on it boasts silken, supple curds and 19 grams of protein in every 5.3-ounce package. The newly expanded roster of flavors features bright, fruit-laden iterations like blueberry acai chia and strawberry chia.

Dannon Oikos Pro Fuel Yogurt听($2)

Slurpable yogurt won鈥檛 be new to Yakult fans. But Dannon鈥檚 version, with 25 grams of protein and 100 milligrams of caffeine per bottle, can help you avoid that midmorning slump. Of the brand鈥檚 four flavors, mixed berry鈥檚 ripe, mellow sweetness was the crowd-pleaser.

Sweet Nothings Smoothies聽($48 for 12 servings)

Sweet Nothings鈥� 鈥渟poonable smoothies鈥� come in five flavors, including coffee, peanut butter, and flax- and chia-laden blueberry beet (our favorite), with recognizable ingredients like dates and cashews and no artificial stabilizers or food dyes. Another perk: the 3.5-ounce cup comes blended, so spills are unlikely.
