Is Magic Cereal a real thing?
As a recently diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic, I decided one of the first things I needed to do was understand not just what foods I shouldn't eat, but WHY I shouldn't eat certain foods. The answer seems easy, but that's not always the case. The answer seems easy, but you would be surprised how many diabetics really don't know the basics. This isn't slam on people at all. More so, it's because there is a lot of fear among diabetics; fear that they can't live a normal life. There's a fear that they can never eat tasty foods again. There's a big fear that they can never eat dessert again. It's simply not true. The second thing I decided to do was to research and educate myself on food and dessert alternatives; things that are indeed diabetic friendly. Here's the bonus. Most all options that are good for diabetics are simply good for anybody. Here's the bigger bonus; we are getting better and tastier options all the time, and that's the reason for this post. Have you heard of Magic Spoon? Yes? Good. Then you know a little about it. No? Stay tuned. Magic Spoon is a line of cereals, with four flavors currently, that are KETO friendly, with only 3-4 net grams of carbohydrates. Yes, those pesky carbs that we're supposed to mainly stay away from. We're talking flavors like Cinnamon, Fruity, Frosty, and Cocoa. No, I won't mention the names that they mimic, but you're pretty smart. :) You can figure that out. So, back to 3g net carbs. 12g proteins. 6g Healthy Fats (Coconut Oil). That's awesome. That's going to be an almost zero impact on your glycemic index if you eat the recommended serving for a bowl and even if you're like me, 2 bowls is still a net of 6 grams of carbs; way less than any other cereal you're going to find. ** Yea, you have to add the carbs from the milk, but who says you can't eat this stuff straight from the box. I haven't had it yet. I am placing an order this week. I will review it here. I will also do a video review over on our Youtube channel and do a pre/post needle stick to compare a real world impact on glucose levels. But for now, check out Magic Spoon. It's not cheap, but to be able to have a bowl of tasty cereal for about $1.30 a bowl, I'd say that's a small price to pay. Stay tuned here. Watch our review and decide if it's something you want to add to your diet plan as well. And remember, you don't have to be diabetic to make this a great alternative to regular cereal.
Until next time....
