The low-carb, high-protein diet has come for breakfast cereal. "What’s up with the vaporwave cereal? " my friend asks, spotting the box of "Fruity"-flavored Magic Spoon on my counter. The packaging is Pepto pink, with a purple gradient down the side and, on the front, a bespectacled girl astride a cereal-munching bird. There’s no overflowing bowl, no splash of milk, and, conspicuously, no Kellogg’s or General Mills logo in the corner. Instead, there are the nutritional facts: 12 grams of protein and 3 grams of net carbs - numbers you definitely won’t see on your childhood box of Froot Loops or Cocoa Puffs. Cold cereal has remained America’s favorite breakfast food for [Supraketo Fat Burner](https://git.minaev.su/anyaj009340365) decades not because of its health benefits, but rather because of its price (cheap), taste (sweet), and appeal among a very picky group of consumers (kids). It doesn’t hurt that it’s also extremely easy to prepare, requiring only a bowl, spoon, and milk - and even those are mostly optional.

For the past several years, though, sales in the category have been on the decline, which many experts have attributed to the public’s growing awareness around the harmful effects of excess sugar, which can include increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, as well as the shift in consumers’ appetites toward more protein-rich foods, such as yogurt and energy bars. Low-carb diets have also seen a recent renaissance, although in place of the Atkins and Dukan diets of the early aughts, it’s now [Supraketo Keto](http://git.alien.pm:3000/rockykraft5777), Paleo, and Whole30 that reign supreme. For followers of any of these regimens, traditional packaged cereals are strictly out of bounds - not only sugary childhood favorites like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms, but also "healthy" varieties such as Cheerios and Raisin Bran, which are made from grains (a no-no) and heavy on carbs (17 grams and 38 grams per serving, respectively, while ketogenic diets generally limit total carbs to 20 to 50 grams per day).

Magic Spoon is part of a small cadre of startups that have emerged in the past year with plans to bring cereal back to a market that has abandoned it due to dietary restrictions, as well as convert some breakfast-aisle loyalists who might be looking for less sugary options for themselves or their kids. Magic Spoon co-founders Greg Sewitz and Gabi Lewis, who launched their cereal in April, wanted to tap into the familiarity that almost every American has with the category. "As we were thinking through the world of food products, there really aren’t many that people who have a true emotional connection to and history with in the way that they do with cereal," says Sewitz. Even with the recent sales slump - which, in addition to health concerns, has been blamed on millennials being too lazy to clean up after themselves - cereal is still a giant industry. Americans spent $9 billion on it in 2018, according to Euromonitor, down from $13.9 billion in 2000, and almost 90 percent of the country eats it for breakfast at least sometimes.

"Ten years ago, cereal was the most popular breakfast in this country," says Lewis. "That’s going to be true 10 years from now, it’s going to be true 20 years from now. Magic Spoon’s debut flavors hit on all the classics - frosted, cinnamon, fruity, and cocoa - and are sweetened (in some cases, bracingly so) with allulose, a sugar substitute found naturally in jackfruits and figs. Because allulose has been found to produce "negligible effects on blood glucose and insulin," the Food and Drug Administration ruled this spring (in a first for the agency) that food manufacturers don’t need to count it toward a product’s total sugars, though because the sweetener is so new to the market, its long-term effects on humans haven’t yet been studied. Catalina Crunch, a year-old startup, uses monk fruit - a natural sweetener derived from luo han guo, a small melon native to parts of Southern China and Thailand - for a more subtle sugar-free taste.
