Reviews mention

  • High-protein 13g cereal
  • Nostalgic, playful packaging

  • 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.

  • Magic Spoon is everything I’ve ever wanted in a cereal—delicious, nostalgic flavors but with none of the guilt! The low-carb, high-protein formula fits perfectly into my lifestyle, and it’s such a treat to have a breakfast (or snack!) option that tastes indulgent without all the sugar. The flavors are spot on—[insert favorite flavors like Frosted, Fruity, or Cocoa]! They’re crunchy, satisfying, and genuinely fun to eat. Plus, it’s gluten-free and keto-friendly, which makes it a win for anyone with dietary restrictions. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to childhood favorites, Magic Spoon is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

  • These cereals are yummy but also made with clean ingredients which allowed me to feel great about it being a little late night snack. I was surprised with how tasty the flavors were!

  • Overpriced cereal with subpar taste. I have tried a few of the different magic spoon flavors and they have all been disappointing. I wanted to like this product especially given the nutritional information however unfortunately the flavor did not live up to the hype.

  • Love the mission! LOVE the proteins! LOVE the packaging! BUT I think I got the WRONG flavor - I got the fruity box and it was just okay. Def wouldn't buy that flavor again but I'm open to trying other ones.

  • I tried the fruity cereal which I liked. It tasted like a more lemony version of fruit loops. To me the flavor was good but subtle. I did think the cereal got mushy really fast after adding milk so I was not the biggest fan of that. Definitely wish it was not as expensive!

  • I actually loved this cereal but it is so expensive. I dont think I would buy again

  • In terms of the taste, this is a somewhat unsatisfying cereal, particularly given the price point. If you want a "healthy" cereal that mimics the taste and texture of Cocoa Puffs, etc., this will do the job and satisfy the cravings.

  • The kids tried the colorful version, and enjoyed it. We will try more flavors

  • I tried the cereal bars which are essentially healthy rice krispy treats with protein and they are delicious! Such a good healthy snack. Minus 1 point for me due to the high price point, wish they were more affordable.

  • Cereal has a good texture. It tastes ok, not too sweet. It satisfies my carb craving and high protein needs. The taste doesn't stand out compared to other cereals. The quality ingredients sound amazing, but I can't really "taste" it. The price is relatively high, so I'd think twice for getting it again.

  • not sure I will buy again. Tho I gave it a go few months ago after reading thingtesting review.

  • It's alright. My mom loved it because it's low sugar, but I don't think I'd go for this over my standard cereals if I were to shop for cereal again

  • The taste was not very sweet… it honestly lacked flavor. I wonder if it would taste better if mixed with some additional ingredients because on its own it’s very bland.

  • I love cereal but being low carb makes that difficult, in comes magic spoon for the win!!!

  • HUGE fan of magic spoon. The flavors are delicious (both the evergreen and seasonal ones), the cereal is actually filling, and it makes me feel like a kid again (emotionally) without all the sugar and crap of traditional cereals. I've tried tons of different "healthy" cereals and this one definitely takes the cake. Pricey, but worth every cent for me.

  • Good cereal if you’re looking for something with protein. Overall though texture and taste is not good has kind of a chalky feel.

  • I jumped on this ship early, and despite occasional wavering, continue to buy their cereal. There's just something fun about eating cereal that reminds me of childhood favs without totally destroying me. And their merch is EXTREMELY fun!

    *sigh* the biggest improvement is that, while fun, there is a slight artificial flavor that can linger. Not always, but sometimes. And the flavors have been major hit or complete miss for me - fruity, pb, and frosted have been pleasant. the others...not so much. I also wish I didn't have to commit to such large orders.

  • I bought one box and never again. It was, first of all, quite expensive for the thin box of cereal, but the texture was really sandy and hard-crunchy. The artificial sugar also left the typical aftertaste in my mouth. Not sure if ordering from Amazon left it more stale than usual, but didn't really enjoy the texture or taste.

    Maybe hide the protein-y hard texture?

  • I'm surprised at their mediocre rating to date. They're not bad! The flavors are fine, texture is good, can't complain.

    Feedback

    They do stick to your teeth though.

  • I like the idea of Magic Spoon, and I enjoyed the fruity flavor in particular, but overall I find it to taste kind of gross and sawdust-y. It's also expensive for what it is, and the boxes are small.
