The Best Keto Cereals to Buy & Make

Replacing a sugary, crunchy breakfast cereal with a ketofied version is no easy task, so we set out to find keto cereal options available for the low-carb world—both store-bought and homemade recipes.

Keto cereals to buy

1. Magic Spoon

Magic Spoon Cereal – $39 for a 4-box case (YES, it’s pricey but read on for why we like it!)

• (Frosted flavor) Serving: 3/4 cup | Calories: 110 | Total Fat: 6g | Total Carbs: 8g (2g fiber, 0g sugar, 3g sugar alcohols) | Protein: 12g

This cereal brand is also a favorite of Collin’s along with other members of our team, even those who don’t always eat keto! I was pretty blown away at this cereal as someone who just eats gluten-free (I have a hard time with alternative sugars, taste, and texture, as well). It was super crunchy both with milk and without!

“We tried all 4 flavors of the Magic Spoon cereal, and the frosted flavor was my favorite! It tastes like those yummy frosted animal cookies with the sprinkles, but not as sweet! I wasn’t able to fool my kids, though, and they wouldn’t eat it. My second favorite flavor was the cinnamon. My least favorite was the Fruity — yuck 😆” – Lina

“I am incredibly impressed with this cereal! They definitely nailed all four flavors! My favorites were the Cocoa and Cinnamon—they are SO GOOD, and the cereal holds up well in milk. The others are great, too, but the frosted was a bit sweet for me. My kids tried all of them as well and loved the Frosted and Fruity ones the best. The fruity flavor nearly tastes like Fruity Pebbles!” – Erica

2. The Cereal School

The Cereal School Cereal – $49.99 for 24 single bags

• (Cinnamon Bun flavor) Serving: 12g | Calories: 100 | Total Fat: 3.5g | Total Carbs: 1g (1g fiber, 0g sugar) | Protein: 16g

Here’s another brand that gives off the sugary cereal vibe, just without all the actual sugar! The Cereal School has crunchy bites available in Cinnamon Bun, Cocoa, and Fruity flavors which come in bowl-sized serving bags.

It’s a little pricier than Magic Spoon, but the individual packs make it easy to grab on your way out the door for a quick breakfast.

3. Low Karb

Keto Nut Granola – $12.99 for 11oz bag

• Serving: 1 bag (22g) | Calories: 190 | Total Fat: 18g | Total Carbs: 10g (4g fiber, 0g sugar, 4g sugar alcohols) | Protein: 5g

This sugar-free granola boasts almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pecans, and coconut chips for a healthy bowl of a keto-friendly cereal. In addition to their classic version, this granola comes in Cacao Nut and Blueberry varieties for a slightly sweeter (yet still keto) treat.
