  • 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.

  • I want more of this cereal at all times. Every flavor is nostalgic and it's fun. Please for the love of god make a Reeces puffs flavor... speaking on behalf of all peanut butter/chocolate lovers.

  • I saw that they are now sold in Target and decided to give it a try. The cereal is very tasty. My only complaint is the small amount of servings for the price. Otherwise, I highly recommend.

  • I found Magic Spoons in Walmart and I’m glad I gave them a try. It taste good and has a good texture. The chocolate cereal does have a bit of a protein powder taste but it’s not too overwhelming.

  • I’m a fan of healthier cereal, but it the price needs to be more accessible

  • Magic Spoon Fruity Cereal attempts to recreate the nostalgic experience of sugary, fruity cereals from childhood but ultimately falls short. While it does offer a low-carb, high-protein alternative, the taste and texture leave much to be desired. The fruity flavor is artificial and doesn't capture the essence of real fruit, making it less enjoyable than anticipated. Additionally, the price point for Magic Spoon cereals is considerably higher than traditional cereals, making it a less economical choice. The texture of the cereal is also a bit too crunchy and can be hard on the teeth. Overall, while the concept of a healthier, low-carb cereal is appealing, Magic Spoon's execution, particularly in the fruity flavor, leaves room for improvement.

  • I was really hopeful when I bought my first box of Magic Spoon. They have a a really cool, funky aesthetic and I was eager to find something replace my Captain Crunch daily cereal. This doesn't quite fit the bill for me. There's not a ton of sweetness or flavor which I get to keep it healthy but the meh taste combined with the higher price tag don't make this product worth it for me.

  • I love the concept of it being a guilt free cereal. Sometimes it sticks to the roof of your mouth while you’re eating it, only negative. I’ll still pick up a box every so often to not feel like I’m having something super sugary. The fruity one really does taste like a more mainstream brand that has soooo much sugar and artificial stuff in it.

  • I have only ever tried the chocolate flavor. I wanted to love it, but the taste was just a bit too weird.

  • Bought it on clearance at target. Mainly cause I never think any cereal is worth the price. This is waaaaay to pricey for our family of 6 living on a budget. Flavor was good.

  • I’ve been eating magic spoon for 2 years now and am obsessed. It’s such a great thing to have around the house when you’re in a pinch and need a high protein snack

  • Love the fruity Magic Spoon flavor! It's a bit of a splurge at $9 per box, which is the only reason I don't keep it stocked in the house regularly.

  • Love the idea of this - some of the flavors are better than others, I prefer the peanut butter and chocolate (also the special birthday cake). However the serving size is quite small, that would be the only complaint.

  • I've been trying to find light breakfast options with protein, and this is a very good-tasting option. It has kind of a malty flavor like the inside of a Whopper, but I kind of like that. And I love the feeling of digging into a bowl of cereal in the morning.

  • This cereal is ADDICTING!! Love the flavor profiles and customized graphic designs for each box. Made me feel like a kid again :) Best flavor is the peanut butter, no question, but the rest are incredibly delicious as well ++ easiest protein intake ever

  • I got the zombie one…cause I like zombies 😅. The taste is different I forgot what fruit it came from. But it was to mimic vanilla. I didn’t finish the cereal. I wouldn’t buy it again, maybe not that flavor.

  • As someone who has been looking for grain-free cereal, look no futher than magic spoon. The cocoa flavor is amazing, and I am sensitive to gluten, so this has really been amazing to have!

  • Certainly some of the most fun packaging to have graced my cupboards. They little people and animals with slightly vacant eyes, as if they exist in a permanent low-grade sugar coma....but we know they don't, because this cereal is low sugar. Came with a gorgeous spoon.

  • I have tried a few of their cereals. They come in a variety of colors and flavors. They also have fun and colorful packaging. While I like how healthy they are, I have to sacrifice the taste. They can be a little pricey too. They are available in national chain stores as well as online.
