  • I've been eating low carb for half a year now and was surprised how much this actually felt like cereal. It's a fun treat to have every now and then, but this won't be a staple in my life because it's so expensive. I'm giving it five stars for the taste but I was pretty disappointed how the bag is almost half full especially when they're $10 a box. There should be better bulk prices for people who want to eat this regularly. At this price point I will probably only enjoy these once or twice a year. The texture is great, it's very sweet and yummy. But there can be a slight strange aftertaste. This didn't bother me, and I didn't notice it was some flavors. But thought I should mention that for anyone who would be disappointed by that. All said it's amazing that you can have an authentic "cereal experience" for just a couple of carbs. Low carb can feel prettier restraining at some points, so it's nice to have treats like these every once in awhile that don't set you back.

  • Low sugar, healthy and tastes great!

  • I thought this would be a little better. I found the taste wasn’t very flavorful but it wasn’t bad. It is definitely a good alternative healthy cereal. But I think I want to try other healthier cereal brands after tasting this

  • I recently tried the sample pack of Magic Spoon Cereal and, unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. While the concept and nutritional profile are impressive, I just couldn’t get past the aftertaste. Each flavor had a noticeable lingering taste that I found off-putting. Despite the initial appeal, I struggled to finish the servings. It might work for others, but for me, the aftertaste was a deal-breaker.

  • This cereal is amazing! The box is amazing looking and tastes even better! It pairs nicely with an oat milk for breakfast! Love this!

  • Icky! Not a fan. Tastes like nothing. Do yourself a favor and eat some regular cereal on occasion and just eat something other than cereal on the other days.

  • Overpriced cereal with subpar taste. I have tried a few of the different magic spoon flavors and they have all been disappointing. I wanted to like this product especially given the nutritional information however unfortunately the flavor did not live up to the hype.

  • Me and my partner I *love* the fruity flavor, it's like a healthier version of fruit loops! And the packaging is just so cute. It is very expensive, so I only buy it at Costco. I've tasted the peanut butter one dry and it's good, but as a general rule, I prefer peanut butter mixed in with other flavors. I've also tried the chocolate one and was underwhelmed, it just wasn't rich enough for me.

  • Unfortunately I was disappointed in the somewhat gummy texture of the cereal, which I hoped to be crunchy and crisp. In addition, I was not too impressed by the nutrition breakdown compared to some alternatives.

  • Honestly have been struggling with all these “healthy” and “protein forward” cereals. There are SO many on the market lately and while magic spoon is actually a great brand and the packaging is awesome, it just doesn’t taste good to me. It taste artificially flavored, and sweetened with too of a sugar replacement. I’m a big fan of any product sweetened by monk fruit (I prefer it way more than Splenda) and I appreciative the effort of creating a better quality nostalgic food, but this cereal overdid it. It doesn’t need THAT much to make it tasty. Don’t let the packaging fool you, folks.

  • Love the mission! LOVE the proteins! LOVE the packaging! BUT I think I got the WRONG flavor - I got the fruity box and it was just okay. Def wouldn't buy that flavor again but I'm open to trying other ones.

  • I tried the fruity cereal which I liked. It tasted like a more lemony version of fruit loops. To me the flavor was good but subtle. I did think the cereal got mushy really fast after adding milk so I was not the biggest fan of that. Definitely wish it was not as expensive!

  • i found this to be disgusting

    Received a free product from Magic Spoon
  • I love this cereal because of the high protein and the taste. It’s a healthier alternative to traditional breakfast cereal that still tastes great. Fruity is the best flavor imo but all of the flavors are good. Only con is the high price.

  • I was pleasantly surprised by how closely they resemble traditional brands. Shocked actually! The texture is not exactly the same but heyy neither are the ingredients. A fantastic healthier cereal alternative, I would 11/10 recommend. And the protein?? 13g? yes please!

  • Favorite cereal brand!! The s'mores flavor is so tasty. Amazing ingredients, low calorie, zero sugar, and high protein! 10/10

  • I recently handed over a small fortune to try Magic Spoon Cereal, and let's just say my wallet and taste buds have been on a roller coaster ever since. First off, Magic Spoon must have real magicians setting their prices because they pulled a disappearing act on my bank account! Seriously, I half-expected the cereal box to come with a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's factory for what I paid. Now, about that taste. The first bite had me cautiously optimistic—crunchy with a hint of nostalgic flavor from my Saturday morning cartoons. But then the aftertaste hit me like an unexpected plot twist in a bad movie. It's like they sprinkled in a dash of "What the heck is that?" just to keep things interesting. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it lingered in my mouth like an unwelcome guest. Magic Spoon Cereal is for those who enjoy a pricey gamble and have a tolerance for quirky aftertastes. I’ll be saving my money for something a bit more down-to-earth—and less magical. Abracadabra, overpriced cereal, be gone!

  • I love the idea, I love that there is a "healthier" cereal option out there. Overall though, I think they need to continue on with refining the product itself. I was an early adopter as someone who chooses a keto diet to drop weight. The earliest products were far worse in terms of taste and texture, so they are absolutely on the right path. The peanut butter flavor so far is their best yet, with chocolate being the one that needs the most work IMO. There is a lot of that "fake" flavoring aftertaste, which soaks itself into the cereal's milk, almost making it taste like sickeningly sweet chemicals. Again, this has gotten better over the years of continued improvement. If something can be done between the flavoring/sweetener blend, I will update this review!
