  • 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.

  • Magic Spoon is a fantastic alternative to high-sugar cereals when you crave that classic cereal experience. While the fruity flavor leans a bit artificial, the cinnamon and frosted options are reminiscent of frosted flakes. A health-conscious choice overall, making it an excellent recommendation for those seeking a guilt-free cereal fix!

  • This is a splendid concept; although it tastes too much like a chemical-flavored cereal, and the aftertaste from the sugar substitute is too much to bear. I did, however, love the crunch, and it did not just disappear into the soggy mess that some cereals seem to do.

  • Tried these to eat healthier cereal. They were okay. Flavor wise they are a 5. So depends if you care more about the health part or the flavor part.

  • Absolutely unreal. I have developed an addiction. I tried the 4 pack bundle and to start off I think it was decently priced for such macros (keeping in mind protein bars are expensive !!). I bought the birthday cake, chocolate chip, fruity, maple waffle and all were divine. Fruity did have a slightly weird mosquito repellent aftertaste but the maple waffle and chocolate chip made up for it with a fantastic flavor and texture !! Definitely recommend trying !! PS - WOuld really really really appreciate international shipping <333

  • Wanted to like it but disappointed and tossed most of it!

  • Magic Spoon is truly magical. I have so many digestive issues, I can’t have gluten or harsh grains. I also eat a high protein and low sugar diet, just to be health conscious. Magic Spoon is not only gluten free, but grain free, and high protein! Abracadabra! The cereals are always so good. Cinnamon is my go-to flavor. And their new Cereal Treats are SO GOOD.

  • I am not crazy about many brands but this is one that I tell everyone about. I haven’t tried a flavor I am not obsessed with and I always have at least one box in stock. I love the high protein and cleaning ingredients and feel so much better giving my 4 year old this cereal compared to others. I am so obsessed that I have saved every box I have ever bought and plan to create something with them. Magic Spoon gives me choose for the future of processed food and just the colorful happy packaging brings me so much joy. Also I can totally justify paying for a box when you break down how much the cost is per bowl. I even enjoy eating dry and on the go at times. Also just want to shout out the protein content again! 13g!

  • I had high hopes for this and bought multiple boxes. I did not like the taste or texture and ended up giving them away. They were pricey for the size of the box.

  • Was not a fan of the cereal. It was a great idea because of all it had to offer but it was bland and didn't taste much like the flavor on the box.

  • These cereals taste amazing and i love how it turns the unhealthy concept of cereal into a more good for you concept

  • I tried the Fruity flavor. I was intrigued by the promise of a lower sugar, high protein cereal option. While the initial flavor is acceptable, there is a bit of an off putting aftertaste. The most unpleasant aspect of this cereal though, was the texture. It was chewy and it sticks to your teeth. I appreciate that they are trying to make a broader range of flavors available for those with dietary restrictions, but at almost $10 a box, I wouldn't personally choose this option again.

  • As a sugar-filled cereal lover, I was so happy to see a low-carb version of my favorite cereals. Magic Spoon is great for when you are trying to make healthy choices, but you are craving the nostalgia of cereal with Saturday morning cartoons. If regular cereal is a 10, these are definitely an 8. The only drawback is that the price of each box is about the same price as two or three boxes of regular cereal. Ordering in bulk or using coupon codes doesn't reduce the price significantly. Because of this, my family uses Magic Spoon as a rare treat instead of a regular choice for breakfast. There isn't a competitor to this product yet.

  • Felt like eating cardboard box.

  • We eat Magic Spoon every day. My husband has it with milk but I throw mine in my lunch bag and it's my protein snack during the day. Flavors are full and remind me of the sugar cereal from when I was a kid!!!

  • I wanted to like this healthy alternative to my favorite cereals. I tried the chocolate, the peanut butter, and the cinnamon flavors. I am very sensitive to the flavor nuances of sugars and sugar alternatives, so I normally have an aversion to any food containing anything but real sugar. This was not an exception. The cereal itself was too hard, when in milk it had a slightly slimy texture, it wasn't sweet enough, and the sweetness it had was artificial tasting. I did not find that this cereal replaced regular cereal for me at all. Is it inedible? No. And I'm giving it stars for trying and succeeding to create a healthier cereal - it just wasn't for me.

  • Great flavors, love having late at night! good sweet healthy treat, with my TRUBARS. Those and magic sppon are are my JAM!!

  • Very healthy alternative to most other cereals but extremely pricey Does taste good

  • Man, this stuff is addictive! I ate some as a snack over a week at work, as a special treat. It is an excellent dessert and I appreciate that it's grain free and no sugar. It's still quite sweet (sweetened with stevia, I believe?) and full of chocolately goodness. Dang, now I want more!

  • Okay, so if it wasn't for the high price they, they would get 5 stars. I splurged on a box of the cocoa flavor purely because I love their packaging so much and it's actually really, really good. Like I straight up just munched on it out of the box and it's a great snack. The texture is my favorite thing because it's somehow both crunchy AND smooth?! Lovely. I'll be trying the other flavors for sure and will keep an eye out for when (or if) it goes on sale.

  • Over all they were good. Not very crunchy.
