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 first tried the Peanut Butter flavor and was HOOKED. It was not-to-sweet (almost savory) and added the perfect crunch to my yogurt bowls every morning. I tried the chocolate flavor and it did not compare, blueberry was a close second. My only complaint is the price — it is steep for a cereal but at least you know you are getting high-quality ingredients. I'm willing to pay it for the peanut butter flavor every time!

  • Expensive and has a funny after taste. It may taste better with milk. I ate it plain. Worth trying if you are eating low sugar.

  • Could taste the sweetener - although healthier, tasted kind of yucky. Would rather just forego altogether

  • I first got into this product when I was newly diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic at first it felt like a godsend as someone who loves cereal and was sad to let it go at his not the best for people with insulin issues. The flavors are delicious and there is a variety for all different cereal lovers however, after eating it for a while there is a very sticky texture that I was not a fan of as it would get stuck to my teeth as I eat. There's also something that happens that I can only describe as slightly soapy or foamy when eating the cereal with milk it's very subtle but overall over time these things affected my perception of the product.

  • I love magic spoon I do wish it was more affordable but it really hits the spot without feeling guilty!

  • a nice treat for a snack or a great breakfast! add almond milk + fruit

  • Magic Spoonnis by far my favorite high protein cereal. The macros are great, and I have loved every single flavor I’ve tried. A little spendy but worth it if you like cereal.

  • Magic Spoon cereal is a weird one. Tastes close to the sugary cereals from the past but with way less carbs and a ton of protein. The texture's good—stays crunchy in milk longer than I expected. Flavors like Fruity and Frosted are spot on, but Cocoa tasted a bit off to me. It's crazy expensive compared to regular cereal, which sucks. The artificial sweeteners take some getting used to - there's a slight cooling sensations? Still, it's a solid option if you're watching carbs or want more protein in your breakfast. Not an everyday thing for me, but nice to have around when I'm craving something sweet without the sugar crash.

  • Got this on a whim online and was super surprised by how good it is

  • Bought the variety pack, not my thing. Had a strange aftertaste. Didn’t even finish a box

  • I love sugary cereal and for that reason I do NOT buy it BUT I have discovered Magic Spoon and it satisfies my want without having to give into the evils. I really enjoy the Fruity flavor and treat myself to a box when I can find a good deal.

  • I don't think there is abetter low carb cereal on the market. Great flavors and they are constantly releasing new ones.

  • Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Roll were ok if you can get over the texture. We were mistaken and thought they were vegan so we were a little disappointed when we found out they aren't. That was our mistake though.

  • These are pricey but totally tasty! I love that they have extra protein in them compared to regular cereal brands. Fun and nostalgic packaging too. I want to try all the flavors!

  • I bought this on a whim, not realizing until I got to the checkout that it was $9. NINE DOLLARS. Cereal was tasteless. Good concept, poor execution.
