SOYJOY - Soy Snack Bars with Dried Fruit Review Summary

SoyJoy is a great concept - a healthy snack bar. Most folks like to snack. Most folks try to eat healthy. This snack bar is soy based so gluten free. That's a plus for many. The snack bar by SoyJoy also has fruits. It's hard to argue with fruits. Unfortunately, many reviewers were turned off by the taste of SoyJoy. One snacker compared the SoyJoy bar to stale fruit cake. Others noted that it was dry and crumbly. The size of the SoyJoy bar was also an issue. SoyJoy bars are about the size of a clothes pen with a high calorie count for a few nibbles. For those who can't eat gluten, this bar may be the best option. It is hard to find snacks sans gluten. Otherwise, there are better snack and energy bars on the market. All in all, consumers were not too thrilled with SoyJoy bars.

I have tried three flavors of Soy Joy and was moderately impressed. If you enjoy snacks containing soy protein, you might like this product. If not, you may not like the taste so much. These were my pros and cons: — Pros: — Healthy, quick snack on the go — Good… read full review »

I Had a SoyJoy, But I Didn't Jump With Joy!

OCT

2007

I'm a busy person and I seldom sit down for a full breakfast during the week before work. That leaves me with something from the vending machine or a snack/cereal bar that I bring from home. When I saw the new SoyJoy bars in the supermarket, I decided to try this for a breakfast option. How did… read full review »

Gosh. I could have had a Snickers, but I got a SOYJOY. Sigh.

try new products, junk food junkie, like fruit bars

SOYJOY sounded like a good idea. They are snack bars made of soy and dried fruit. I like most snack bars, and I'm fine with soy. I thought I'd probably like SOYJOY bars. — If you want to know what SOYJOY bars taste like, step on a Fig Newton. These taste like compressed Fig Newtons. It's more the bread taste, because the fruit is really skimpy. There's some fruit in there (4 flavors - berry, mango/coconut, raisin/almond, apple). The fruit taste gets lost in the thick soy batter. — You will not suffer long. These SOYJOY bars are a little bigger than a clothes pin. I took… read full review »

Soyjoy is one free sample that even I won't touch!

I work at a natural health food store, we carry a lot of gluten free snacks. We put out samples of snacks, both gluten free and gluten full. I have nothing against gluten free foods, in fact I really like most of them. When SoyJoy bars first came out my neighbors came into the store to request them and we soon were carrying them. They were flying out the door which made me think that they must be good so I didn't try them for a long time. A couple of months ago the grocery manager gave me some to put out for samples and so I had to try them. I love samples… read full review »

I'm all for trendy healthy snacks... However out of shape I am, I still enjoy enjoy the delusion that cute healthy snacks will kill my sweet, fattening chocolate cravings. So when I saw SoyJoy on the shelf, I thought to myself - "This could be it!" .... Unfortunately, I was horrendously mistaken. My mouth was screaming "Oh my god, what have I done to deserve this!" All kidding aside though, I would NOT reccomend SoyJoy bars to anyone... Not even as payback. They aren't really too low on fat or calories. You're better off eating a piece of fruit with a glass of soymilk. If you enjoy the idea… read full review »

SOYJOY is a quick, naturally flavored snack.

SOYJOY bars are an all natural snackbar imported from Japan. The ingredient list is simple. The raisin almond flavor contains such ingredients as whole soybean powder, butter, almonds, sugar, cheese, frozen eggs, maltodextrin and dried fruits. No hydrogenated oils are used. — I do like that the ingredients are simple and do not take up an enormous amount of space. For those individuals who should not have products made with gluten, they are gluten free. — On the not so great side... SOYJOY bars are dry and quite small. —… read full review »

I like healthy bars. I also like trying new foods out. When I saw and add on soy joy website to try a free bar I signed up. My soy joy bar soon came in the mail. After trying it I am so glad it was free. It was very dry with a sour bite to it. I could not finish the whole bar.… read full review »

Well - these are not going to hit the spot like a Baby Ruth but if that's what you're looking for go to the candy isle. I think they are perfect. While trying to lose weight but avoid that hunger feeling these are great. So many diet/health bars have that strange aftertaste and are loaded with calories. They are also usually filled with a dense mystery filling and melt if you leave them in a hot car. SoyJoy has 130-140 calories/bar. The bars are small but perfect for a quick pick-me-up or breakfast. They have lots of flavor and texture which are the two things I miss the most when… read full review »

I received a free sample SoyJoy berry bar from walmart.While I can't complain about anything free, I must say that I will never go out an purchase a SoyJoy bar. It was anything but joyful. — The ingredients list looked normal enough - all stuff I could recognize, like soybean powder, berries and red bean paste. — The bar itself did look like the product pictured on the package - a square log resembling a cookie in texture. — The taste, however, was abhorrent. The flavor was somewhat like a bad health food bar (with distinct raisin overtones) and the texture… read full review »

I am a health food nut and love to try new products. I am also a nursing mom who needs to eat all day long. I'm busy and I look for easy food to grab while trying to make every calorie count. I have tried all of the flavors and only liked the raisin and berry flavors. My son thought they were awful. They definitely have run a good campaign getting the product out there through free samples and good coupons. I don't love them enough the buy unless I have a good coupon for them. Even then, they are hard to find. They also are a very small portion with higher fat and calories than I would like… read full review »

These make a great tasting snack for a work break. Some flavors are better than others especially the berry ones. Retail price is too high but with coupons the price is very cheap and somethimes free. The bar has a somewhat dry texture but this is a possive attribute as it encourages you to drink and hydrate yourself. I don't care for very sweet snacks and this one has just the right amout of natural sweetness that I like. It's small size makes iteasy to carry in any pocket and is very drable and less meesy than other bars that melt from body heat. … read full review »

SOYJOYs are great for on-the-go healthy snacking! They are all-natural so you feel like you are getting the daily essential nutrients when you eat them. They come in Apple, Mango Coconut, Raisin Almond and Berry! — — I really like SOYJOYs because they contain soy and chunks of dried fruit! — — — If you go to their website there is a $1 off your next purchase of 4 bars! … read full review »

I think Soy Joys are hit or miss. I always stock up on them when I get them for free or close to it with sales and coupons. For whatever reason, I can have one on Monday and it's good and the same kind with the same expiration date on Tuesday and it will be very dry and hard to get down. Maybe it's a packaging flaw? I stick to the mango, apple, and… read full review »

I bought these bars when they were recently offered free at CVS. Although a little bland and have a firm texture, they are good when you realize you blood sugar is getting low. I grab one and am able to fill up for a few hours and not feel guilty. It also does not have the "sugar drop" that a candy bar would… read full review »

The taste is reminiscent of fruit cake only it is less sweet, drier, and maybe even more calorie dense. The bar is tiny. It is at most half the size of a regular granola bar, but has as many or more calories. I only tried once, but my wife gets them when she can get them super cheap, for example, free after rebate. —… read full review »
