Reviews mention

  • 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 like the concept, but at the end of the day the product still has the protein-powder tang of many protein-supplemented foods - the aftertaste registers as “hmm this is not real food”. I tried four different kinds, but had the same experience with all of them. Also very expensive, relative to other protein product options.

  • I was excited to try this cereal but did not meet my expectations. Maybe that's on me though, maybe I hyped it up too much in my head? At first it tastes delicious just like our childhood favs; Fruity Pebbles, Trix...but the after taste is straight up not delicious protein. My first bowl, i took a few bites and poured the rest out. If you are into protein and like mad gains, give it a go! Otherwise, pass.

  • A nostalgic treat with a modern, high-protein twist. Some flavors taste artificial, but it’s a solid pick if you’re watching macros. Crunchy and satisfying, though a bit pricey for everyday use. Great for a guilt-free cereal fix, though. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  • The fruity flavor cereal from Magic Spoon is so delicious. I eat it as a snack rather than as a cereal and even put it in my kids' lunchboxes and they always ask for more!

  • I was pleasantly surprised by how closely they resemble traditional brands. Shocked actually! The texture is not exactly the same but heyy neither are the ingredients. A fantastic healthier cereal alternative, I would 11/10 recommend. And the protein?? 13g? yes please!

  • I really wanted to like this so I can have another easy breakfast option at home. But it turns out I just don’t like cereal. I’ve tried most of their flavors and it all taste very artificial

  • I tried this cereal because it had a lot of hype. While it’s not pumped up with sugar, I thought it was just OK. Not worth $9 a box to me. There are cheaper alternatives out there with the same makeup.

  • I'm surprised I haven't written a review about this yet - I purchased the variety pack of these a year ago for advent calendars and they were a big hit. Have not tried them myself yet, though!

  • I wish these were as good as they look. The fruit flavor tastes soapy but the cinnamon is good.

  • Not for me, still overly sweet and pricy. My toddler would not eat the over fruit loops

  • Healthy and nostalgic - as someone who loves to eat cereal any time of day, I really love Magic Spoon as a great option.

  • Tied all the flavors, they don't deliver flavors and texture. It's light and airy becomes gummy once you bite into it. I love their nutrition profile and cute branding but won't repurchase unless those 2 areas improve. I don't mind the price point. Extra point for an absolute best customer service and experience.

  • I'll give Magic Spoon points for cute branding, reach, and the crunch. Everything else is a no for me. I'm no stranger to low sugar, healthier cereals. This is one I just can't stomach. The taste is fake and also unpalatable to me. Just not for my taste buds!

  • I like a mug of cereal post-workout and I thought I'd try something that was a little more nutrient-dense than my usual. I tried the Maple Waffle flavor and I liked the taste quite a bit, it was sweet but not weirdly or overly sweet. The texture was fine while eating it but afterward there was cereal cemented between my molars. I had to floss and use a dental pick to get it all free. Which is gross, but I feel like you should know.

    Something about the texture turns it into a super hard paste between teeth. You will definitely need to brush after eating this.

  • While there are some funky aftertastes in some flavors (cinnamon roll in my experience), these are super innovative and great to squeeze in nutrients in the morning with out the grains or sugar.

    Feedback

    I do not recommend the bars though. Very dry and large aftertastes

  • I absolutely love cereal, and where this does not taste like your regular breakfast cereals, if you’re looking for something with greater nutritional value, I highly recommend.
