  • 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.

  • Magic Spoon is a really interesting take on cereal. It's made to be a healthier version of the cereals many of us loved as kids. What makes it different is that it's low in carbs and high in protein, which isn't something you usually find in breakfast cereal.

  • Love this cereal! I love the variety of flavors such as cinnamon, frosted, and peanut butter. The packaging design is also fun and stands out. It is a little pricey but worth it!

  • pretty good! it's a good alternative to traditional cereals but i wouldn't say i love it or that it's my favorite but i would still recommend anyone to try it out at least once. overall pretty good!!!!

  • The packaging on this is so cool! It also tastes very yummy! Peanut butter one is my favorite! :)

  • I like this cereal. As far as high-protein cereals go it tastes the best. Now is it kind of expensive. That's undeniable. I can't justify spending that much on a regular basis for cereal for sure. Is a lot of the packaging air? Absolutely.

  • I learnt about magic spoon through the cereal subscription box my family member had at one time. They have very fun and attractive packaging and I love how it’s low in sugar. I enjoyed their chocolate cereal and loved how it was not too sweet. They are very expensive though so I only get it for a treat.

  • This is definitely healthier cereal. I love that it has good ingredients and that it has good nutrition box. It doesn’t taste exactly like the kids cereal you would have growing up, but it still is a great dessert or a snack when you need it.

  • While Magic Spoon tastes really good, I do not think it is worth the expensive price tag. The texture is not exactly like those sugary cereals we loved as kids. But if you want to splurge and get something that is 70% of what you remember for less sugar and more protein, you will enjoy Magic Spoon.

  • Probably the worst cereal I’ve ever had in my life. Was influenced after getting a million ads, but this cereal tastes so bad it’s insane. Tastes like cardboard and not worth the money at all for just two bowls worth of cereal.

  • I always avoid cereal, packed with carbs, artificial colors, high sugar and chemicals you can’t pronounce. But I was excited to try this cereal, it’s a bit more health conscious. But flavor wise it isn’t my favorite.

  • I like the product claims on this cereal brand. They have a good variety of flavors. I also tend to go for anything with peanut butter so that is my favorite. I just wish they were more reasonably priced.

  • First of all, their box designs are so hip and eye catching. They stand out at the cereal aisle every time. The flavors are unique and fun too, if they were more affordable I'd buy them more often but right now it's an occasional treat.

  • They have a really good plant based cereal! High protein no added sugar and tastes great + nice crunch. It is in-store (Whole Foods only I think?). Personally, milk protein never did my stomach good so I use the plant-based one. Also, the packaging is awesome

  • I love that there are so many new options for gluten free snacks, but I these are not my favorite on their own. I have found they add a nice crunch in a yogurt bowl or with ice cream - which I have been using since I don't love them with just milk.

  • Magic Spoon was alright—tastes decent and has good ingredients, but honestly it feels like it is way too expensive for what you get. I get the hype, but I probably wouldn’t buy it again unless it was on sale.

  • I like that this is a healthier alternative to other sugary cereal. It is also pretty tasty.

  • This is a great product this cereal has a great taste and my kids loved it it's one of their favorites and they ask for it constantly

  • If you're a cereal lover who is looking for a healthy way to eat sugary kid cereal again, Magic Spoon is for you. For me, it was a nice nostalgic treat that reminded me of Fruit Loops, but not something I need in my daily life. I like the nutritional value, but the high price tag and artificial sweet taste made it a one time thing for me.

  • This Magic Spoon cereal is a healthy alternative to traditional cereals out there. The taste was lacking for me and there’s a lot going on in the fruity cereal flavor that didn’t go well together. Not a fan.
