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.

  • Magic Spoon cereals are great! I have tried a few different flavors and really liked them. I find the price point too high though- hard to justify $10 for a box of cereal.

  • I loved the idea of it, but struggled with expecting it to taste just like the sugar filled cereal. Was not terrible tho!

  • I tried, and I mean really tried to like this. It’s like eating cardboard and artificial sugar with a whiff of cereal.

  • Cereal is pretty much one of my favorite foods so I'm always up to try a new kind. That being said, I wasn't super impressed by magic spoon. It wasn't terrible and I recommend it with milk instead of dry as a snack cereal that I see as a category of cereal on its own. It had a bit of an aftertaste and while not terrible, it definitely makes swallowing $7 for a box of cereal more difficult. And while it claims to be "keto friendly" based on low, net carbs, the total carbs are still much higher so if you're going to hear cereal and carbs - I suggest yet eating some of your favorite cereal you already know and love.

  • Pretty good cereal. I love the fact that it is low sugar/carbs and high protein. The price is kinda high so it’s definitely a luxury purchase that I don’t buy all the time. My favorite flavors so far are the fruity and maple waffle. Chocolate is okay and cinnamon roll is okay. The box size isn’t too bad, I can get probably 4 bowls or so out of each box.

  • These are a tasty alternative to cereal if you are being really careful about what you are eating. The taste does take some getting used to and is still quite sweet. This is something I would maybe have every now and then but couldn't eat everyday.

  • Really impressed with this product overall. The cereal is very good, and low carb. Packaging is super fun, but the price point is a bit high in my opinion.

  • Magic Spoon Grain Free Cinnamon Roll Cereal disappoints with a flavor reminiscent of cardboard, and its steep price further adds to the underwhelming experience.

  • I recently tried Magic Spoon cereal and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations. The flavors are delicious and the texture is just right - not too crunchy, not too soft. Plus, it's low in sugar and high in protein, which is a win-win for me. I also love that it's made with real ingredients and doesn't contain any artificial colors or flavors. It's the perfect guilt-free breakfast or snack option. Trust me, once you try Magic Spoon, you won't want to go back to regular cereal.

  • I really like the concept and ideas behind magic spoon. I really want to like their cereals more. They taste great and having a low calorie cereal option is very enticing. I just can't get over the gummy texture when you chew the cereal. Due to the whey protein, when you chew it, it just gets kind of hard and sticks to your teeth. Eating it with milk helps, but it's not for me. Friends and family love the product and even helps some of them stay within their calorie budgets or manage their blood sugar while still being and to enjoy cereal.

  • This cereal is so damn good. Great way to get in easy protein, and the cereals taste just as good as their sugar-filled alternatives, sometimes even better. They are on the expensive side for what you get, but if you need a fun boost of protein, these are great.

  • To me all the boxes taste the same, i love the fact that its keto friendly, sugar free and the fun packaging, i would buy it again if its available at retailers in canada

  • I think for a low sugar high protein cereal this brand is one of the few I tried that is really tasty and doesn't have too much of that awful after taste protein items can often have. I do think the price point is quite high for cereal, but understand this is a more specialty item.

  • I've only tried the chocolate cereal but I wasn't that impressed. I suppose it's good for a quick, "healthy" breakfast option, but there was definitely a weird taste about it that I didn't love. But I also don't mind eating regular cereal and if I want to go for a healthier breakfast option I'd rather have an egg or something.

  • The peanut butter flavor… F me up. I’ve tried ~ 6 or 7 different flavors and most are really good, but the PB is unmatched. Blueberry is reallly good as well. Protip: mix PB and chocolate for a Reese’s puffs-inspired experience.

  • This was a bit of a flop for me. The marketing is great and appetizing, but the cereal does not taste as good as the packaging looks unfortunately.
