As a former cereal eater, I was excited to taste test the low-carb marketed cocoa flavored cereal by Magic Spoon. Although, I haven’t personally missed having cereal in my keto lifestyle, I’m always interested in seeing the innovative ways entrepreneurs can adapt products to the low-carb lifestyle. Plus, Scott over at Expert of Equipment (a low-carb fan) asked me to chime in and review this product. Make sure to check out Scott’s blog post for more reviews on a variety of low-carb cereals.
Best Low Carb Cereal? 7 Keto-friendly Experts try Magic Spoon, HighKey, Catalina Crunch & More
Let’s dig into my bowl of Cocoa flavored O-shaped cereal by Magic Spoon.
Like: satisfies chocolate cravings, crunchy, did not get soggy in the coconut milk, shape and size of the Os, delicious taste, no after-taste
Dislike: some of the ingredients would not be suitable for someone following a strict and clean keto or low-carb lifestyle, small serving size
Personally, I need to remain strict keto for my metabolic health and so I stick with total carbs (not net). At 10 grams per serving of total carbs that would use up half my daily carb count in this one serving. I also avoid any manufactured food with the word starch in the label and/or with questionable sugar content (this label says “trace amounts” of sugar in the cocoa powder). THUMBS DOWN.
However, my husband follows a very loose low-carb lifestyle (100-150 grams daily). He really enjoyed this option to bring cereal back into his life. Since I buy all the groceries in the home, I’ll make sure to stock up on this for him. THUMBS UP.

So, what’s your final verdict? Thumbs up or thumbs down?
Hi Sheri,
Thanks for commenting! I guess I didn’t answer that, did I? LOL
For ME? Thumbs down because of the ingredients and the high carb count for such a small serving.
For my husband? Thumbs UP because he misses cereal and he’s not strict keto like me.
Does that make sense?
Christine
Sure does, and I was thinking you would say thumbs down, because of the ingredients. Thank you for responding!
My pleasure! Thanks for reading 🙂
