  • High-protein 13g cereal
  • Nostalgic, playful packaging

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.

  • Love the concept of this cereal, but it's not my favorite. It tastes very, very sweet with a little bit of an odd aftertaste.

  • SO good I didn’t believe the hype until I tried it at target. The texture is perfect and the chocolate flavor is addictive.

  • Great macros and taste but very expensive compared to other brands.

  • Love this cereal. Only thing is that it sticks in your teeth. But if you're looking for a high-protein and low-sugar option, go for it! My whole family has had a blast with it.

  • Protein in the morning is important for me so I like the focus of the product. They are tasty but I just have never purchased the flavors more than once each. Perhaps if I had been a big fan of the sugar kid cereals, I'd feel differently. My kids are not that into them either. I think it's a texture thing.

  • If you are a cereal lover, these cereals are great for you because they are made with natural ingredients and low in carbs. I like the taste and variety of these and recommend them.

  • I fell for their online marketing and ordered it because of their packaging and because I was looking for a "healthier" alternative to kids cereal (my go to night time snack). When you open the box and smell the cereal you get excited, because it smells sugary and incredible. Wish the smell translated to the taste, because after trying the birthday cake, fruity, cocoa and frosted cereals - they all taste a little bland and leave me wishing I had just bought the original kids cereal at Publix. I also wish that the cereals themselves held up a little better in milk, not sure about others but for me it was a race to eat the cereal before it got soggy. Also have a hard time justifying the cost for something that is just "meh". The branding and unboxing experience was so fun, but the actual taste and quality of the cereal was just okay.

  • I tried the fruity cereal and it was just okay; it left a weird aftertaste and has the same consistency you expect from chalky-high protein foods.

  • I have only tried the fruity, and the peanut butter flavors. I've really liked both of those, but the fruity is my favorite. I love that it's 13 grams of protein (more if you add milk), and it's a super easy snack before/after a workout. I knocked it down one point because it is pretty expensive, and I usually only get 3-4 small-medium bowls in a box.

  • My husband really enjoyed the blueberry flavor. After I bought them I realized they weren't vegan, they contain whey, and so I was not able to eat them. Overall, I do think they're spendy for what it is...cereal..

  • I hate overly sugary things and thus avoid most cereal. I was super impressed by the nutrition label and had to give Magic Spoon a try! The good: not sweet and full of flavor (I had the cinnamon roll) The bad: it leaves a really weird slick oily aftertaste, $10 for a box of cereal Conclusion: after a few bites, I was ready to order a variety pack! But, an hour after eating, I couldn’t get the weird aftertaste out of my mouth. I might try another flavor if I see it at my grocery at some point but I am certainly not a super fan.

  • Look I love podcasts so big shout out to everyone magic spoon is holding down. The branding is a little too like try hard for me and the vibe is a little dry. Cereal is okay but it is kinda expensive and I love overpaying for things legitimately, so idk, its fine, but like I don't know. If you are trying to ween yourself off of the night time cereal snack and kashi aint hittin like it used to this is a solid alt.

  • Not actually as healthy as they seem, nor are they tasty. They are full of seed oils among other ingredients that don't fit in well with a clean diet.

  • Absolutely love Magic Spoon!! Makes a great breakfast or late night snack. Big fan of the peanut butter flavor. Definitely a little expensive but worth it to get a nice high-protein treat.

  • I have been on the hunt for a healthier type of cereal and this one was great! I enjoyed trying this brand out and love how it's low carb and high in protein. The cocoa flavor was my personal favorite and I highly recommend Magic Spoon!

  • OH MAN was I disappointed with this cereal I'm a big cereal lover and had heard good things about Magic Spoon through sponsored ads. Now I know why the only time I heard about them was through ads. I tried the cinnamon one and it was inedible. Something about the taste and texture was an instant turn off. I felt terrible tossing the entire box, especially given the high price point, but it was inedible.

  • I love the mission of this product and that its great for people who can't have sugar. My father-in-law loves it. My T1D nephew loves it. It's just not for me, unfortunately. The smell and taste are too weird.

  • This was surprisingly good. I purchased the coco puff one! Will buy again.

    Good product it is a bit pricy though! About $10 a box which is a lot in today’s economy I think.

  • The first bites were great, but then you get hit by a weird aftertaste. Chunks would get stuck in my teeth, and the overall texture felt quite waxy.

    Feedback

    If there was a way to get rid of the aftertaste, this would be a great alternative to your typical grocery store cereal.
