Reviews mention

  • 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.

  • This branding is so great and I love the direction they are headed. Unfortunately not crazy about the flavors and for the most part is taste like chewing on protein powder.

    Feedback

    Flavors to have less of a chemical taste.

  • Annoyingly delicious.

    Obviously these are pricey. Are they worth the price? It depends on you wallet and your diet.

  • The cereal treats are really tasty! They're on the pricier side but for the added protein I think it's worth it. I've tried all of the flavors and would recommend them all tbh.

  • 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.

  • 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.
