SoyJoy Whole Soy & Fruit Bar (Blueberry)

SoyJoy Blueberry BarI've tried SoyJoy Bars before, and I had the same reaction Tanya expressed in her SoyJoy review - ew! What the hell am I eating?! The ones of these I've had before were dry, tasteless, and just all-around disgusting (including the SoyJoy Peanut Chocolate Chip Bar that Marina reviewed). However, I decided to give them another shot - I mean, there has to be at least one tasty flavor around, right?! So I picked up a SoyJoy Blueberry Bar amd hoped for the best.

This bar kind of surprised me. Sure, it was DRY and oddly chewy - I can't quite tell what the company is thinking with their dense, over-baked bars. Still, the flavor was pretty ... good shocker! It tasted like a chewy, dense, soy-y blueberry muffin or cake. Interesting... I definitely liked this WAY better than the flavors I've had before.

Each SMALL 30 gram SoyJoy Blueberry Bar provides 140 calories, 9% of the daily value for total fat and 15% of the DV for saturated fat. There is also 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), 12 grams of sugars and 4 grams of protein.

The ingredients include, Ground Whole Soybeans, Raisin, Sugar, Butter (from Milk), Eggs, Dried Coconut, Dried Pineapple, Dried Blueberries, Maltodextrin, White Chocolate Chips:, (Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Dextrose, Butter Oil, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla Extract, Salt), Dried Cranberry, Natural Flavor), Fermented Milk Powder, and Powdered Whole Milk.

You can get Soy Joy Blueberry Bars at Amazon.com, $13.40 for a 12-pack, but I would probably only buy this only occasionally, and only one at a time, and only when none of my other favorite bars are available. But I have to say, I was quite pleasantly surprised with this flavor ... meaning that this flavor wasn't bad - and it's really not a good thing for SoyJoy that I was expecting the worst. I'm also not a fan of small bars, because they in no way make a dent in any kind of hunger.

I've had the same reaction to Soy Joy bars. If you think this one is better, maybe I'll give them another shot.

If you try it Misty let us know what you think.

NO NO NO! I will never eat another one again. They are just so bad. There are so many other things worth eating.
