For someone who enjoys sweet cereals as a treat or just wants to feel like a kid again, a healthier version sounds appealing. First, it does not contain artificial sweeteners, flavorings, colors, or dyes and is high in protein. In addition, it may be for someone looking for a healthier cereal but who eats a balanced diet otherwise. The flavor isn’t everything, though. I know the big selling point of this brand is supposed to be how healthy it is on top of its tastes. So what do the health benefits of this flavor look like? I am sensitive to dairy, however, so this may not be the case for someone who is not dairy or lactose-sensitive. If you are, Magic Spoon may not be the best cereal for you.

All of the cereals are kosher and free of peanuts, oat, wheat, and other allergens.

There is still more research to be done, however, on the long-term effects of consuming allulose and if consuming above a certain amount may affect blood sugar levels. To better explain how to determine net carbs, you subtract the grams of allulose and grams of fiber from the total grams of carbs to find the net carbs.

Because Magic Spoon doesn’t include grain or wheat in their cereals, they are also gluten free due to the choice to use naturally gluten free tapioca starch from the cassava root. It is promoted as a cereal brand for adults who want the taste they had as a kid without “all the sugar, carbs, and guilt.” All in all, I would suggest making cereal a once-in-a-while treat rather than a daily breakfast option, no matter the brand, as there are many other economic and more nutritious alternatives.

It contains more mono and polyunsaturated fats and minimal unhealthy saturated fats. They even have seasonal flavors which are good or amazing. I had a maple syrup waffle flavor one that made me super happy. I wish it was available all the time =( but they have new flavors pop up here and there which is always exciting. Cocoa: Had a decent chocolate taste but was a little too potent. It was definitely palatable but had a sort of chemical-type taste, where you could notice a difference compared to the traditional Cocoa Puffs.

The taste is good, better than I would have expected. As someone who has never been the biggest fan of fruitier cereals, I have to say it’s far from the worst I’ve ever had.
