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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I've only had the fruity cereal flavor, but I LOVE Magic Spoon. Reminds me of childhood, but way less sugar and healthier!
Bought multiple boxes and thew all of them away. The fake sugar taste was unbearable and the texture was awful. Almost like glue when you add milk.
In terms of the taste, this is a somewhat unsatisfying cereal, particularly given the price point. If you want a "healthy" cereal that mimics the taste and texture of Cocoa Puffs, etc., this will do the job and satisfy the cravings.
The flavor is pretty decent for this cereal considering it has 0 sugar. My only hangup with the cereal is how expensive it is.

Must try! Peanut butter is so tasty.

I love every single flavor. I wish my child liked them more but all she wants is the super sugary junk from the grocery store but she still eats it.
The nutrition on these cereals is great ... but that comes at a cost. I saw so many influencers promote this brand that I eventually tried it. And I could not believe how bad it tastes. I didn't even finish the first box. The price point is also ridiculous for the small boxes. Do not recommend.
Love the peanut butter flavor. Will definitely buy again.
Overall, I really like Magic Spoon. It is a good alternative when I want something sweet. Some of the flavors taste better than others, but overall I continue to buy.
I really love this stuff! I don’t know how they did it but it tastes delicious and its low in sugar, high in protein, grain free. Seriously tastes so good
Not a huge fan of the taste but great way to get your protien. It is quite expensive so please keep thay in mind when purchasing.
Magic spoon is a wonderful idea for those of us who try to follow a low carb diet some or all of the time. It’s a bit disappointing in practice. The flavors are reminiscent of childhood faves but the texture and taste do not quite compare.
i wanted to like these so bad! the packaging is so cute and i love the idea of using better ingredients for these nostalgic flavors. i appreciate the transparency so much. however, i didn’t love the texture and the aftertaste was a bit chalky. they’re so crunchy and hard to chew i though i would’ve chipped a tooth.
Not a huge cereal lover so am probably pickier than most. While I liked the variety of flavors, I just felt it was missing something.
Honestly it tastes meh, not worth the price at all

For a cereal that markets it as healthy, it tasted very artificial on my palate. It coated my tongue in a chalky, gritty kind of way, and lingered long after I swallowed a spoonful. Not crazy about the high price tag or the 7-8 grams of fat per serving either. Why does low carb/high protein stuff also have to be so high in fat?
I get the whole lemme eat better and such but the reality is here, that we are trying to package a kids cereal into something healthier for adults or kids bait and switch? Either way it didnt work : (

Confused on why they don't have GF options! Also it just reminded me of protein powder very chalky!
Love the creative design and marketing, as well as the fun flavors. It doesn't quite hit like your classic Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Froot Loops but they're still good - especially considering how much better they are for your diet! Just wish it wasn't $10 a box because my husband can easily finish it in 2 bowls-worth.
The taste and price are honestly a 3/5 but I like the mission and the cocoa one was not bad at all. I don't think I would eat this standalone (because of both taste and price) but it was good mixed in with other cereal/granola. My overall rating is a 3.5 but I am rounding up to a 4 since thingtesting doesn't allow for half stars.
