  • High-protein 13g cereal
  • Nostalgic, playful packaging
  • Gluten-free, grain-free formulas
  • Fun, diverse flavors lineup
  • Artificial-tasting sweetener aftertaste
  • Gummy, teeth-sticking texture
  • Inconsistent chocolate flavor execution
  • 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.

  • I will start by saying there are some great flavors, especially for being a more healthy cereal. However, I was very tempted to only give them 3 stars. This cereal is expensive. I know healthy products usually aren't cheap, but I would not buy these a second time. It's hard to find it anywhere other than online, and you only get an average sized box. For the price, it's hard to find a reason to continue buying these. They do have some good flavors though.

    Find a way to make it more affordable.

  • I give this a 3 because there a some flavors I really just don't like. I love gingerbread but their version was not for me. That being said, I don really like their peanut butter and frosted flavors. There is a slight aftertaste that you have to get used to.

    Feedback

    There is an aftertaste that could use some improvement and some of the flavors fall short for me.

  • Love the brand and the mission here, but the aftertaste doesn't work for me.

    Feedback

    Perhaps an impossible task, but would love less of an aftertaste, and less stickiness in my teeth.

  • It’s an ok healthy alternative but it tastes like just that1-an alternative and not like a satisfying cereal.

    Feedback

    The after taste is too noticeable

  • This brand of cereal was very sticky in the mouth. I tend to eat cereal with my fingers and without milk. My fingers smelled like the flavors I just consumed. I could not wash away.

    Feedback

    Lower the price.

  • I love the potential of this product (and protein content) but didn't fall in love

    Feedback

    The taste is a little too sweet and it is very expensive for a very small box.

  • Love this cereal wish it was around when I was a kid. I do not eat cereal anymore like I did as a kid but they are really good all of them.

  • I love magic spoon! Their bars are great before or after the gym as a way to get some extra protein in and also a healthy option for a quick grab and go breakfast. I also love their protein cereal it starts my day off right and is very filling!

  • I like that this cereal isn't too sweet, and also has a lot of protein! As a gym girlie, trying to get as much protein in during the day can be difficult, but this is a good way to get those grams in the morning. Good flavors, and don't feel terrible after eating.

  • My kids love magic spoon! This brand has been a tooth saver around here. The flavors are tasty to my kiddos but without all the sugar that most of the other cereals have. Check the boxed on those other brands you’ll be blown away at how much sugar they put into Trix or Fruity Pebbles.

  • One of the better protein cereals out there! I love the fruit flavor, more disappointed in the peanut butter

  • Really impressed with Magic Spoon cereal. Tastes better than full sugar, processed cereal and has added health benefits. I can’t wait to try the other flavors.

  • Very expensive cereal for little added benefit. No cereal should be $9 a box. It’s so expensive. I can’t justify the nutritional benefit when the price is so expensive per box.

  • I appreciate the better-for-you ingredients and high protein but the cereal was a bit too sweet for my taste. I’m sure kids who are accustomed to sugary cereal would love it though!

  • Super cute boxes and the nutritional content is good. Did not love the taste of the cereal though, unfortunately. Nostalgic packaging is a bit of a stretch as a descriptor.

  • So this cereal is prob the best on the market as far as healthy goes, but i just can’t get past its taste, it taste like pure protein power, its gross. My kids spit it out.

  • I have tried a few flavors of magic spoon. They all have been delicious. I like having a low carb option and high protein cereal. These are very good products, only downside is the cost. Much more expensive than traditional cereal.

  • Tasty but expensive! A pretty close and healthy alternate to the cereals we all know and love. I probably will only buy for special occasions.

  • Cute packing. Interesting flavor. Although I can barely pinpoint the flavor itself but def. a product that is cool to try
