An Honest Review of Magic Spoon Cereal

A Low Carb, High Protein Cereal

If you spend much time on YouTube, you may have heard “This video is sponsored by Magic Spoon”. Magic Spoon is low carb, high protein cereal which touts

• 12g-14g complete protein in every bowl
• 4g-5g net carbs per bowl
• Tastes just like you remember, only better

A cereal for boomers. At 33 years of age, I’m basically a boomer myself. I’ve been trying to watch my sugar and carb intake, so I ordered some.

The Good

The good is that Magic Spoon does exactly what it says it does. It’s a great tasting cereal, high in protein, and low in sugar/carbs. It’s also low in calories. Magic Spoon comes in a variety of flavors. The ones I ordered, are Peanut Butter (my favorite), Maple Waffle, Cinnamon, and Fruity. What’s not to love?

Nutrition Information

If you spend over $50, Magic Spoon will also send you free protein bars. They are more or less the same as the cereal, just in bar form.

I also bought this cool bowl and spoon combo. The bowl is made from some sort of bendy rubber like material.

The Bad

Although I really like the idea behind Magic Spoon, there is one small tiny issue (I’m probably nitpicking here). The cereal is primarily made from Milk Protein.

1. Anyone who has taken whey protein supplements can attest, this can lead to some unpleasant bowel movements. This fact is made worse for those with IBD or intolerance to milk products. I myself have occasional issues digesting food, and for me, eating Magic Spoon was like eating cement. But I understand this experience is subjective.
2. It is not vegan. If you are vegan, you may object to the product on moral grounds.

These are really the only issues I had with the product. My recommendations: maybe add some fiber to the cereal or possibly offer a vegan alternative.

Conclusion

Magic Spoon does exactly what it claims. You may benefit from adding Magic Spoon to your diet, especially if you are trying to cut out sugar or carbohydrates. But for people with digestive issues, maybe try a small amount first before eating the entire bowl.
