Soy Joy bars

[patrol71]

I really don't care for these bars. They just seem to be lacking in taste and I've tried all four flavors (I think there are only four :confused:). Has anyone else tried these? I can't imagine them becoming that popular, but I could be wrong.

I haven't tried that brand name, but I have had "healthy" bars that I thought were kind of dry and lacking in taste.

There must be some better ones out there. Any recommendations?

I love Luna bars, but they are made specifically for women. The Mojo bars by Clif are really good, too. Some of these "healthy" bars have a lot of sugar in them though, so you really have to read the label to know what you're getting.

Patrol, I got lucky. I got a free sample. I hated them. I hated them A LOT. I mean I REALLY just hated them.

There was no soy joy joy for me.

ROTFL...

Tell ushow you really feel Urs! No really, don't hold anything back.

For the record, I didn't like those bars either.

They don't make them here, atleast I have never seen them.

What are they supposed to taste like according to the wrappers?

I never much liked the Luna bars. I think there was one that had a lemon taste that was OK.
I like the Clif bars about the best. There's something there to chew on for awhile. I like the peanut butter chocolate chip.

Sorry about that. I didn't like the Soy Joy bars much either.

Haven't had the soy joy bars; sounds like their commercials are much better than their product, unfortunately. Also, why, exactly, are Luna bars just for women? Is it just the marketing?

I haven't tried the bars, but I did find a dairy and lactose free alternative to yougurt and pudding. It's something called sojasun, and it's really creamy, smooth and tasty - in raspberry or chocolate.

I havn't tasted the brand you are talking about but I do have eaten another of similar ingredients and did not like it at all inspite of all the goodness and health promised....

I quess the general assumption is that women are more concerned about health than men...not my views, but could be the reason for the marketing pitch. I like most of the LUNA flavors and each bar has vitamin supplements that enhance women's health specifically. I think there may be some bars for men coming out soon, if not out already. So, don't feel left out ;).

I have never heard of these bars. I'm sure that there are better soy-based bars that you can buy, though. You just need to experiment a little bit.
