  • High-protein 13g cereal
  • Nostalgic, playful packaging
  • Gluten-free, grain-free formulas

  • Gummy, teeth-sticking texture

  • Small, pricey box portions

Magic Spoon largely satisfies those seeking a healthier, high‑protein, low‑sugar riff on nostalgic cereals, according to reviews, but it is not universally loved. Reviewers praise its 13g protein per serving, gluten‑free/grain‑free formulas, fun flavors like Fruity, Cocoa, Cinnamon Roll, and Maple Waffle, and cheerful packaging; common complaints cite an artificial or stevia/monk‑fruit aftertaste, gummy texture that sticks to teeth, flavor inconsistency (especially some chocolate/peanut butter variants), limited satiety for some, and very small, pricey boxes.

  • The protein treats from Magic Spoon are sooo delicious!!! I enjoy the taste a lot and it healthy too. It contains only additives that is bad (glycerin) and high in saturated fat, but overall is good. I totally recommend it.

  • I really enjoyed the grain free granola from magic spoon. It has a delicious taste (not too sweet) and i really like that it has protein and is low in sugar. My only critique is the price! $10 for this very small bag in this economy?! As much as i love it i don't think i will repurchase as there are plenty of other great options.

  • First off I love the packaging, I purchased the cocoa and would need to really give all the flavors a taste before making my final decision. Another situation where it's not bad, but it's not amazing. If your craving cereal and want to hit some protein as well then this might satisfy that itch for you. The cocoa flavor is very faint but I do enjoy how crunchy it stays while I crush my bowl.

  • Fruity Cereal is 3 year old approved. He did not notice the switch and asked for it again after multiple days with other breakfasts on in-between days. Expensive, but great alternative for picky eaters. Imho the outside tastes just like fruit loops.

  • This is a fantastic option for a healthy cereal alternative. I love that it lets me eat what I would consider "kid flavors" without all the guilt. The protein and low carbs make this a great quick breakfast before going to the gym or anywhere.

  • I think the brand has a good purpose, but the taste just isn't there for me. The Cookies N Cream flavor from them was my favorite, but I'm not sure if it's still made. I do like that these are high-protein.

  • Was excited to find a good-for-you cereal but I don't find the texture pleasing. Weird mouthfeel and leaves my mouth dry after (even with milk/plant milk).

  • I've read about and seen Magic Spoon everywhere for years now. But I never pulled the trigger because it didn't fit into my purchasing behavior to order cereal online. I finally tried the fruity cereal and was very impressed! I like how it tasted and I liked the fact that it was serving up more protein.

    I was most surprised by the size of the box, it's small! I enjoyed the cereal and like the product but I don't think I'll get it again unless I found it really easily in a store.

  • I lime the fruity and cocoa flavors, keeps me full for hours.

    This is definitely not a type of cereal you want to let get soggy, doesn't taste as good. I was expecting the boxes to be a bit bigger given the price.

  • Any fellow athletes looking for tasty, healthy, high protein breakfast options? Look no further! I've heard of Magic Spoon before, but never went the extra mile and tried them out, until now. I am SO happy with how darn TASTY these granolas are! I got the three pack from Amazon, in peanut butter, honey almond, and dark chocolate almond, and WOW. These granola are not only super tasty for breakfast or as a snack, but have an impressive 13-14g of protein, plus fiber, in each serving. That's a TON for granola! I love granola on my yogurt in the morning, as well as a healthy snack, but also I prioritize getting at least 30g of protein per meal, and with traditional granola, this can just amount to way too much food. I love how Magic Spoon has created a protein rich option that's low in sugar, making it easy to hit my macros for the day without sacrificing taste. Now that I've tried them, I'm a convert! If you value your nutrition and protein intake like me, I urge you to give these a try. You won't be disappointed.

  • 10/10 would recommend the frosted flavor. Tastes exactly like a rice krispy treat and smells like cotton candy! I’ve also tried peanut butter and the fruity flavor but I like the frosted the best. I eat it plain for breakfast or crumbled up as a dessert topping on fruit with yogurt and even ice cream

    Feedback

    Can you make other tasty treats please?!

  • Upon opening the product I was amazed by the smell of it. I had the fruity flavor and boy did it smell like Froot Loops. Like spot on. Unfortunately after trying it I can't say it tasted much like it. I used oat milk, and after pouring the milk in the cereal's coating came off and it got really slimy. I did however feel full after eating it, I do like the protein content.

    The actual taste of the product needs some improvement. It's a common piece of feedback I hear about Magic Spoon

  • I haven’t tried their cereal in a really long time so I can’t remember how I felt about it, but, I have their new protein Rice Krispie bars and they’re really good! Surprisingly no weird protein or chalky aftertaste. Great pre workout snack *edit- I recently tried the chocolate peanut butter flavor of the marshmallow bars and am not a fan. It tastes more artificial and has a weird bitter aftertaste. But the original flavor is good, I’ll stick to those.

  • Two years ago, I made the switch to Magic Spoon cereal for my kids and myself. I stopped purchasing junk cereal and preferred this brand of cereal for my kids. It's healthier, nutritious, and has the fiber and vitamins I was looking for the whole family. My kids love the chocolate one(cocoa), peanut butter, fruity, and chocolate chip cookies, and one and many others. They are sweet enough for them, grain free and delicious. Not to mention, our family loves the magic spoons with the bowl. Even as an adult, I am a huge fan of the unique design. We love this brand so much that we are always eager to try their new products! Never fails to disappoint! Great value for the money spent.

  • I recently tried the limited edition Pumpkin Spice flavor of Magic Spoon cereal. This was my first time trying the Magic Spoon brand but I had heard about it, especially in keto spaces online. I didn't know what to expect going into it because I had read such mixed reviews. However, I found the texture to be cardboard-y and the taste to not be reminiscent of pumpkin spice at all. There was also an odd aftertaste. For such a high price, I definitely would not purchase this cereal brand again.

  • Good if you set expectations that they are not exactly like cereal but close enough. Definitely kinda weird sweetener flavor and also a strange texture that’s almost like cereal but not quite. The new formulation is a bit odd tasting, bitter afterraste

    Feedback

    Great packaging.

  • Just got the birthday cake flavor and it was absolutely delicious. I am pretty health conscious so I was not supper excited about the seed oils but they are definitely a tasty treat. I was never allowed to have sugary cereal as a kid so it definitely awakens the child within me. The cereal’s high protein and low carb benefits are worth the hype. My last complaint is the amount for the price. Wish there was a bit more in the box, but the box is cute.

  • I have tried the 4 packs bundle and my favorite is the Fruity one. I like them because it’s a good source of protein to have as a breakfast and the sugar content is not super high. The flavor is ok. I like that they contain some spirulina and turmeric extract. The color is from fruits.

    Feedback

    I would improve the flavors and shapes.

  • I was looking for a high protein, low carb cereal option and Magic Spoon fits the bill. They have a lot of flavors which makes eating healthy cereal fun. I especially loved their individual travel packs!

    Feedback

    Some of the ingredients, in an effort to reduce carbs and excess sugar, might be overwhelming to eat in large quantities which cause stomach aches.

  • If you're looking for a healthy cereal, I would recommend trying this brand. Of the flavors I've tried, I have to say the fruity flavor is my favorite, which tastes like a healthy version of Froot Loops.

    I wish you got a little more bang for your buck.
