SOYJOY - Soy Snack Bars with Dried Fruit — 

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 a photo, so readers could see what I'm talking about. WOW. Skimpy.

After I ate mine, I noticed that these little things pack 140 calories. OH NO. No binge. But, that makes a body feel like purging. I could have had a Snickers or something with that kind of calorie count - or a huge bowl of vegetables. No. I packed on the calories with a tiny little bar that didn't even taste very good.

These are gluten-free, so I guess if you need something without gluten, this would be better than nothing. There are not many bready type products that are gluten-free. My sister and her girls might like them - maybe. They eat gluten-free.

Sometimes a photo really does help tell the story. Thanks for stopping by! I'll check out the Apex bars.

I am so glad that you took that photo. It shows how ridiculous the SoyJoy bar is. If you'd like to try something similar; on my review I suggested Apex breakfast bars.

Thanks for helping me save money by not trying these!

I hate these. There is an auto immune disorder in which you cannot have any gluten. They thought I had it for a while. Luckily I don't. I couldn't stand to be without anything with gluten in it forever. Especially these bars. Blah.
