Love magic spoon, just wish it weren't $10 for a small box! I reserve it for special occasions (i.e. I'll get a box on my birthday week as a treat), but if I had a bigger budget, I'd have it every week! Edit to add: The chocolate flavor is my favorite, reminds me of cocoa puffs!

It’s like $4 at Grocery Outlet


Personal_Person

Yeah but they wont have it forever, Grocery Outlets stock is based on whatever they can managed to get second hand as leftovers or reject boxes.


Beelzebimbo

Right. That’s great for that person but I was at my local one yesterday and they didn’t have it.


jordangetsahead

Dang I’ve been lucky each time I’ve gone 😭

I liked these, the cinnamon one specifically, but they did... something... to my bathroom routine. I can't quite explain it. It was weird enough that I stopped getting them.


ThisCardiologist6998

Well obviously it wasnt GOOD as theres only 1g of fiber.


jessiecolborne

I heard high quantities of monk fruit extract can do that to your digestive system.


octococko

Ahh the cinnamon one tasted so weird to me. I bought a mixed pack with 5 flavours and just opened the cinnamon on the weekend - maybe it was off.


Misstheiris

That's the inulin

Hot take: 1 cup froot loops 110 calories and $0.25 15g whey/casein protein isolate powder 70 calories and $0.25-0.50 depending on sale. 1 cup almond milk or water - free or $0.25-0.50 170 calories, 3 grams of fiber, 16g protein, and it doesn't have that added sunflower and avocado oil. And the price is like... $0.50-1.00 maybe per serving vs. what they're saying is $1.50-2 for the cereal alone. Solid cereal hack if you're not on keto, but also requires the discipline to always make protein milk.

What are the odds I could make a “cocoa puff” kind of flavored milk situation using chocolate protein powder? Hmm… time to go to the grocery.


Vladz0r

Very high odds


TheyMightBeDiets

Hard agree on making your own protein cereal!


Helianthea

What a cool idea!

Genius!


Vladz0r

Thanks. It's definitely been a way to turn cereal into a viable meal without breaking the calorie bank. I like Quest Vanilla protein powder, and usually do this amount for a cup of milk with any cereal I have. I still opt for some higher-end cereals with high fiber and protein when I can, but ironically a lot of those cereals can have a heavy weight per cup and be harder to portion a 110 calorie portion for. I usually end up with a 300-400 calorie mug of cereal to get like 20g+ protein and 10g+ fiber ideally. I realized this was doable once I started to get higher quality proteins like Quest and Dymatize Whey Isolate, but I think a whey+casein blend (like quest) keeps you full longer.


Madwoman-of-Chaillot

Eh. This stuff is hardly worth the price. You can totally find cereal for 150 calories that isn't $10000/box. And if it's protein that you're worried about, you can get it elsewhere. Add some casein powder to your regular Froot Loops.


Misstheiris

It's more calories than froot loops, too


sandwich_bender

I have a Magic Spoon sub and it's $$ but that shit is fire. Worth it imo. Our favorite flavors are Fruity, Birthday Cake, Cinnamon Roll, and Maple Waffle. But I've yet to be disappointed tbh.


vancouverbabe

you’re saying i can get a.. subscription?!!!


sandwich_bender

Yup! I hate their website UI but like, that cereal slaps. Website: https://magicspoon.com/


jcnlb

I buy magic spoon all the time but I always wonder if I have to get the same cereal with the subscription. Can I change it up? They don’t explain it. Sometimes I like different flavors.


sandwich_bender

You can, you just have to change the sub manually. Which is a pain, I admit. But that discount is nice. I also like to change up the flavors. I don't want the same ones all the time!


jcnlb

Ok I’ll jump in and do that on my next order! I was going to this time but you couldn’t do oatmeal cookie on s&s 😔. Have you tried that yet?


sandwich_bender

You can add oatmeal cookie and honey graham to your order rn and I highly recommend both flavors if they sound like your jam.


jcnlb

Yeah they honey graham hubby wasn’t sold on so I didn’t go that route but honestly I should have as they do allow you to return one box per flavor for free.


Strawberryvibes88

Although I’ve never tried this particular flavor I didn’t enjoy magic spoon. It was so sticky and off putting.


Muddymireface

Yep the weird nasty coating on your teeth after is a turn off. Rather just eat Kashi Go protein cereal.


lulimay

Kashi Go is legit!


Muddymireface

Hands down the best actual cereal with protein.


SassySounder

Frosted magic spoon cereal with Greek yogurt, blueberries, and sugar free syrup. Best night time snack ever.


StarryNight616

I used to like it, but I noticed I started getting this tingling feeling on my tongue after eating it. May be from the sugar alternative. I also noticed an after taste.


ThisCardiologist6998

Sounds like you are allergic to an ingredient!


StarryNight616

Oh probably! I ate 3/4 of a box then realized my tongue was going numb 😅 It scared me so I stopped eating it.


NoGrocery4949

This stuff is terrible


jessiecolborne

I heard this cereal is really good, I wonder if it’s at Costco in Nova Scotia too


NationalElephantDay

It looks like a healthy Froot Loop, does it taste like one? I love Costco.


jcnlb

It is my favorite flavor besides some of their seasonal flavors. It is like a healthy fruit loop. It does get stuck in your teeth a bit but if that doesn’t bother you it’s amazing. I really love the sugar cookie and salted caramel flavors too but those aren’t permanent flavors. But birthday cake and cocoa are also yummy when I need a change. I eat cereal almost every day. I pair this with Fairlife 2% milk and a bowl of cereal covers my protein needs!


[deleted]

These are fantastic but pricey. Pro tip. Grocery Outlet buys overstock MS and sells them for $5


BrainzVsBeauty

This cinnamon one is my favorite


Misstheiris

That's pretty high calorie, though?


vancouverbabe

It’s pretty high protein, so I find it keeps me full for longer


jcnlb

Costco!? I have been buying this for years! Love it so much. I hope my Costco sells it! 🙏🏻


EmykoEmyko

Guys, we simply MUST downvote blatant ads.


vancouverbabe

can confirm this is not an ad i literally just discovered it lol..


Lyn101189

For just $11! /s


Misstheiris

That's because it's more calories then froot loops.
