7. Cereal
You favorite cereals might contain bags of caffeine. And, yes, it makes sense that a chocolate-flavored cereal contributes caffeine to your day. Take Cocoa Puffs, for example. This “chocolate-y” cereal contains cocoa, a source of caffeine. A ¾-cup serving has almost 2 milligrams caffeine, per the USDA.
You’ll actually find cereal made with trendy matcha green tea powder, too, such as gr8nola Matcha Green Tea. While the brand doesn’t list the actual amount that you get per serving, we can: Matcha has 68 milligrams caffeine per teaspoon, according to GotMatcha.com.
“I suppose caffeinated cereal or protein bars would be desirable by some people to provide an energy boost if you don’t like coffee, don’t have easy access to it, or are looking for an edible source of caffeine,” says Harris-Pincus.
