soy joy!?


Quote  |  Reply

Has anyone ever heard of this? It's supposed to be this bar thing that is soy and it comes in different flavors such as strawberry, apple, etc... Did you hear anything about this product?

Here's the website!

one word: EW.

Dry, crumbly, bland, gross.  Worst bar on earth.

Dont waste your time.

I kinda liked the apple one, but not enough to buy more.  It wasn't spit-it-out-now nasty, but it wasn't a total treat either.

The others just sucked =P
I tried the berry and the apple..they were both okay. I only tried them because I had coupons for a free one, but I wouldn't spend money one them.

There are way better choices out there.
I actually really like these. And my husband who doesn't really like protein bars loves the chocolate. I am a fan of the chocolate and the apple.
Absolutely disgusting. They taste like dehydrated tofu. (Or, what I imagine it would taste like, lol. I haven't actually gone and put that in my food dryer yet.)

Definitely not worth their calories, either. They're teeny-tiny.
Oh..... :(
I really like the raisin almond one.
i thought they would be slightly decent when i tried them, but they were really not so great at all. i really didn't like them...

agree with veganpancake:EW.  only tried it because it was a freebie at the gym, but i did spit it out....

sorry i thought they were nasty too!!! def a skip.

I got a free sample, thinking it would be good.... but I agree with the other posters--not very tasty.  I could eat it if I had to, but why waste the calories on something that doesn't taste good?  I like Kashi stuff much better.

i just thought the texture was unique and cool.
IMO, they were disgusting.  
Got a sample in the mail a while back, spit it out, gross!

 I couldn't have put it better myself ;)

Thanks for all of your replies! I guess they really aren't good! I didn't eat it yet but from the replies that i got from this topic i guess that it must be a waste of money! Thanks again! If anyone else has any other opinions please do reply!

:\ you would think they would have a bit more protein.

Erm, anyway, i haven't tried them :) ... haven't even heard of them before.
I just thought it was interesting that they didn't have much protein!

I personaly LOVED the soy joy I tried.  It kept me feeling full and it wasn't bad calorie wise.  I really liked the dense texture and the semi sweet flavor.  I'll def. buy more soon.

I like the chocolate chip one ok.  My husband eats these constantly but he has really strange eating habits.  He has celiac, so eats all gluten-free, can't smell, so he focuses more on texures than tastes, and in general, just doesn't like to eat.  This has caused him to be underweight his whole life.  he is working on gaining weight so these calorie-dense, gluten-free bars with interesting textures are perfect for him.  I wouldn't recommend them for most people though!

I've never tried them (so perhaps I shouldn't comment, but I hope this is helpful) - I think they may have 'revamped' them after their initial release.

A lot of the reviews I saw from a year or so ago said they were basically inedible - at first, all the reviews were bad.  Then, about 6 months ago, they seemed to have a new marketing drive (they were giving them away for free), and a lot of the reviews were positive.

I keep thinking I'm going to try them, but they aren't free anymore :).

I thought they were gross. They had very little flavor and were super tiny. No thanks
