For people who feel better when they avoid oats, wheat, corn, and rice.
ChiChi is a warm chickpea-based cereal for people who miss the comfort of oatmeal, but don’t want a grain-based bowl sitting heavy in their morning.
A fantastic alternative to oatmeal for people with celiac disease. Many people with celiac also have issues with oats. I’ve tried using them sweet and savory and really liked them both ways.
This is the only product that has satisfied my craving for oats since I stopped eating them. I’ve only tried the apple cinnamon and brown sugar flavors so far. Both are great. I add hemp seeds, flax seeds, and chopped apples to increase protein and crunch. The easiest way to prepare has been to mix everything up at night and microwave in the morning. These will definitely be in my meal rotation long term.
I enjoyed it. I like that it has the same texture as a bowl of oatmeal while knowing it contains higher protein and the benefits of eating legumes.
I decided to subscribe and it’s a great decision! I’m having ChiChi for breakfast and lunch and I stay full surprisingly long. I’ve lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks! So easy and so tasty!
This is the best substitute for oatmeal. Love the taste and the consistency. Delicious.
Hearty hot breakfast cereal, perfect for those looking for a gluten free option. I liked them enough to send a four pack to both of my adult children’s families for early holiday gifts. Highly recommend!

Most people don’t go grain-free because it sounds trendy.
They do it because something about grains does not feel right in their body. Maybe oatmeal leaves them bloated. Maybe wheat makes them feel foggy. Maybe the "healthy" breakfast they were told to eat every morning just stopped working for them.
So they cut the grains. And at first, that feels like a relief.
Then breakfast gets weird.
Going grain-free is not just about removing something. You still need a breakfast that feels like breakfast.
A smoothie can work for a while, but it doesn’t always satisfy. Eggs are great, until you are completely tired of eggs. A fruit bowl may be technically grain-free, but for a lot of people it does not have the staying power they need for a real morning.
That is why so many people end up missing oatmeal. Not necessarily the oats themselves. They miss the warm bowl, the comfort, the toppings, the feeling of eating something steady before the day starts.
ChiChi keeps the part people love about oatmeal: a warm, creamy bowl you can make in minutes and top however you like.
But instead of oats, ChiChi starts with chickpeas. That means you get a grain-free base with plant protein and fiber built in, without needing to mix in protein powder or turn breakfast into a complicated recipe.
Plain, versatile, 11g protein and 6g fiber per serving. Sweet or savory toppings both work.
Chickpeas are not trying to be a fake grain. They are their own thing: naturally hearty, mild, and filling. When cooked into a hot cereal, they give ChiChi the spoonable texture people want in the morning.
That matters because grain-free replacements can go too far in one direction. Some are crunchy but not satisfying. Some are low-carb but joyless. Some are packed with sweeteners and still leave you hungry by 10:00 AM.
ChiChi is built to be more normal than that: scoop, add water or milk, heat, top, eat.
The best grain-free swap is the one you can keep eating. ChiChi tastes creamy and a little nutty, so it works with the toppings you already like: banana, berries, cinnamon, maple, almond butter, walnuts, hemp seeds, or a splash of milk.
If you want something neutral, start with Original. If you want the childhood oatmeal feeling, Maple Brown Sugar or Apple Cinnamon is the move. If breakfast needs to feel more like a treat, go Dark Chocolate or Peanut Butter Choco Chip.
A grain-free base for people who feel better skipping the usual oat, wheat, corn, or rice breakfast.
10–12g protein per serving, depending on flavor, plus fiber from chickpeas.
No blender. No overnight prep. No "wellness bowl" project at 7:30 AM.
Use it exactly like a hot cereal. Keep it simple the first time.
You do not need to overhaul your whole routine. Just replace your old grain-based breakfast with ChiChi for a few mornings and notice what changes.
Do you stay full longer? Do you miss oats less? Does breakfast feel easier again?
If you are grain-free because your body told you to be, breakfast should support that decision, not make you feel like you gave up comfort forever.
Yes. ChiChi is made from chickpeas instead of oats, wheat, corn, or rice.
ChiChi is made with naturally gluten-free ingredients. The brand notes it is not certified gluten-free, so people with celiac disease should review the product details carefully.
Each serving has 10–12g of plant protein, depending on the flavor.
Yes. Add milk or water and heat it in the microwave or on the stove. It becomes a warm, creamy hot cereal.
Start with Original if you like to control the toppings. Choose Maple Brown Sugar or Apple Cinnamon if you want the most familiar oatmeal-style flavor.
