  • 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.

  • I needed to loose weight in early 2020. I started a no sugar diet. I came across Magic spoon. It was awesome and helped big time for the no sugar diet. Tasty, good in milk (all types of milk). Tastes similar to what flavor it is copying in the sugar loaded non Magic Spoon version. I tried a sample pack of various flavors. All were good to excellent. The only draw back to magic Spoon is the cost. It's kind of on the pricey side.

    Good no to little sugar cereal high in protein.

  • I received a sample of the cinnamon roll cereal and absolutely loved it. unfortunately these are not sold in stores near me, but i just placed an order to receive some new flavors. I cannot wait to try more!

  • Very tasty cereal with variety, especially convenient for a bariatric patient. Love that I still have the option to enjoy cereal that aren't full of sugar, and has protein but doesn't have that medicine taste to it.

  • love the macros on this cereal

    don't love the price for the amount of cereal you get and ingredients could be cleaner

  • I am a big fan of this cereal. I have only tried the fruity kind but I’m obsessed. The flavor is so good, not like other “healthier” cereal brands I have tried. Many of them have the taste & texture of cardboard. Magic spoon is exceptionally tasty.

    I’m not sure if the inner bag is recyclable or compostable, but if it’s not I would highly recommend this company look into it. For the price tag I expect sustainable packaging

  • I’ve never been a fan of sugar free foods, but these cereals are an absolute game changer. I was introduced after a family member received a diabetes diagnosis and thought I can’t believe how good this is. It’s absolutely worth the money.

    Expand flavors!

  • I was SO excited to try this cereal. I used to be a cereal fanatic, but once I discovered how much sugar was in most cereals, I stopped having it for breakfast, so I was thrilled when I discovered Magic Spoon. I love that it's not only low in sugar, but has the added benefit of tons of protein. Considering the healthy ingredients, they tasted good, but nothing close to regular cereals. They were a bit chalky (I think because of the protein powder), but I did end up finishing all 4 boxes I ordered.

  • I thought the taste was good - I like the multiple options that are available and the product is reminiscent of childhood cereals that I loved.

    Feedback

    Texture given the high protein ingredients is strange - the product stuck in my teeth and had a strange aftertaste.

  • I was really skeptical about this, but very quickly became a subscriber for monthly shipments. Flavors I've tried: * Peanut butter - Really good, has the best texture of all of them. Something about it is slightly different from the others. * Cookies & Cream - Fine. Not really cookies and cream vibes, just a mix of chocolate and vanilla cereals * Maple Waffle - My favorite. I loved french toast crunch growing up and the flavor is very similar. * Blueberry Muffin - Really good blueberry flavor, doesn't taste super artificial Don't expect the texture to be exactly like regular cereal, but for the protein content it's really delivious.

    The cereal bars are a different story - I was sent those for free along with my cereal order and I personally found them inedible. The primary flavor was bitterness from cocoa, and they didn't have enough sweetness to balance that out. Skip em.

  • These are just not bad. I've tried the peanut butter and fruity flavors and I can tell you I did not care for the peanut butter one at all. I couldn't even finish the whole bag and it was one expensive bag of cereal at almost $10. The fruity on the other hand was pretty good. I did finish it.

    Feedback

    The price is a too high for it to be a regular on my grocery list. I like the fact that it's a healthy option for when you want to eat cereal but the price is just not justifiable.

  • A great alternative from regular cereals. They taste great and have great macros

  • I found these tended to congeal when eaten with milk. I did like them dry as a snack.

    Feedback

    Maybe some sort of bar option the wouldn't require liquid.

  • I bought this at Sprouts and was super excited about the good ingredients! We got to cocoa and it was good but not my favorite - probably just bec it's healthier :)

    Feedback

    My picky toddler approved so that's a v good sign. I loved it alone as a snack, not with milk!

  • I think it's a cool product. My brother LOVES it and orders from them all the time. Definitely satisfies any hunger when I have it. It is on the expensive side for being a cereal, but it's a splurge my brother enjoys (and that I mooch off of).

  • This was so fun to inbox and live the retro imaging /colors. Felt like a kid again eating these

    Feedback

    Can’t wait to try more flavors

  • We just couldn't get past the flavor of these. It's a fun idea and I was hoping I would love them, but we can't eat them.

  • The cereal makes you feel like a kid again. It’s so good and taste just like the original cereals you had as a kid but they are way healthier. I highly recommend trying it out. Definitely worth the money.
