Enjoyed it a lot. Looks and tastes like the unhealthy version without the sugar. Chocolate was the best.

I was really curious about this brand and ordered a sample box. It was…fine, I guess. The flavors were either okay or…not good. I liked the cinnamon but really did not like chocolate and frosty. 

So here’s the thing… If you’re pretty hard core low carb and miss cereal, this is perfect for you. Otherwise, if you’re looking for something to truly replace “regular” cereal, this probably isn’t it. 

I’m okay with occasionally eating cereal, so I’d rather just have a bowl of something I like a couple times a year. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Fun packaging and marketing! Fun flavors! Taste? not for me! 

It tastes like a protein bar/powder somehow made itself into a bowl of cereal and had some cocoa powder lightly dusted on top. The aftertaste is protein powder-y .... which maybe I should have expected given it's grain-free, high protein, AND sugar-free. If I enjoyed the taste more, maybe I'd be less mad about how much money I spent on it...

I do think the customer service could be improved and more responsive. Also, I think the texture is too dense for personal taste. 

I tried this sampler pack complimentary thanks to Magic Spoon and Stack Influence; however, this review is my opinion.

I've heard about Magic Spoon on Instagram, mainly from influencers. I've wanted to try it, but I'm a casual cereal eater, so it's not high on my wish list. I think the portions are a great size, and I love that these cereals don't have a crazy amount of sugar or carbs like traditional cereals. I think the price per cup could be better, but it's a good value as a treat. Some flavors are better than others; my favorite is Fruity and Cocoa. My least favorite is the Frosty and Peanut Butter ones. My GF is a fan of cereals, and he liked the Cocoa one the best. If you're someone who enjoys eating cereal but you want a healthier option, then yes, I would go for Magic Spoon. These could also be an excellent option if you're not a big chocolate/sweets person but want something different to snack on.

Price is a bud steep, but the ingredients are high quality so it makes up for it!! 

Yummy packed with protein and arrived so quickly!! I got the variety pack! 

I really like magic spoon! Many of their flavors are just like the nostalgic cereal. I like the fruity flavor the best which tastes just like trix to me! They do taste kind of like whey, which they are so it makes sense. And at ~$10/box they are very expensive. 

I wish they had a dairy-free cereal option. I also reached out to suggest that it might be beneficial for them to use a different, non-seed oil.

Their customer service is incredible, and speaking on behalf of my brother - he loves the taste!

Need better pricing to make it a more sustainable part of the diet.

As a cereal lover, I wanted to Love this- but all the flavors had a gross artificial aftertaste to me. Sweet in the bad way, I couldnt even get my kids on board, (and man, did I try!)
