Magic Spoon Inc., doing business as Magic Spoon, is an American food company that sells breakfast cereals, as well as protein bars, granola, and toaster pastries. Most of its products are high in protein, low in sugar, and gluten-free. It claims to recreate the taste of other well-known cereal brands. The nutritional value of Magic Spoon products has been compared to competitors such as Froot Loops, which are high in sugar.

The company was founded in 2019 by Greg Sewitz and Gabi Lewis.[1]

History

[edit]

Greg Sewitz and Gabi Lewis created Magic Spoon in 2019 as a direct-to-consumer brand that could only be bought online.[2] Prior to that, they founded Exo Inc., a brand of protein bars made using house crickets, which they sold in 2018.[3]

In June 2022, Magic Spoon had a Series B funding worth US$85 million[4] and started selling its products in 1,300 physical Target stores, followed by 300 Sprouts Farmers Market stores in September, and has also been sold in Walmart, Kroger, and Albertsons stores. As of February 2023, it was available in 6,800 brick and mortar stores in the United States.[2]

Products

[edit]

Breakfast cereal

[edit]

As of January 2025, Magic Spoon offers its breakfast cereal in six classic flavors: Fruity, Frosted, Cocoa, Peanut Butter, Blueberry Muffin, and Cinnamon Toast.[5] Their main ingredient, referred to as "Milk Protein Blend", is a blend of casein and whey protein concentrate, which provides of most of their protein content. It is sweetened with monk fruit and allulose,[6] and formerly with stevia.[7]

Magic Spoon advertises the amount of "net carbs" per serving of cereal by subtracting the amount of dietary fiber and allulose from the amount of carbobydrates. However, the term is not defined by the Food and Drug Administration and the American Diabetes Association, and doesn't have a standardized measurement method.[6]

In January 2026, Magic Spoon released cereals with marshmallows.[8]

Protein Pastries

[edit]

Protein Pastries are toaster pastries that were introduced in January 2026, and are available in three flavors: Frosted Strawberry, Cinnamon Brown Sugar, and S'Mores.[8]
