Enjoy Life Cranapple Crunch Granola

I spent good money on this product, only to find it has the taste and texture of Milkbone dog biscuits (sad to say I know what dog treats taste like...tried them once when I was a kid! :lol: ) This granola was rock hard and awful tasting. I can't understand how Enjoy Life could pass this off as food! Maybe it helps with keeping teeth clean and healthy like Milkbones do. :rolleyes:

I know exactly what you mean, I bought this same product a few months ago, I could not even swallow it....it tasted like cardboard. I believe it was about $5-$6.

Maybe it needs a new name: Crapapple Crunch :lol:

Yeah, this is the first special product I bought myself. Blech! I thought to myself, okay, so I never get to eat cereal again....Crapapple works for me!

Thanks guys, I planned on buying this cereal! :P

My family doesn't mind it but I think the cinnamon crunch is the better of the three.

I'm with you! I bought this product about 2 weeks ago and returned it! I was afraid I'd break a tooth and the granola did not look as yummy as the picture on the box!!! YUCK!!!

I think that is a good idea, that is about what it tasted like. Milk did not do it any justice either.

Hillarious. :lol: I'm sitting here eating a bowl of it for the first time while I browse this site. I'm thinking the same thing...I'm going to break a tooth! I thought it would get softer after it soaks in milk, but it really holds up! I'm not going to buy it again.

It makes a far better dessert topping than an actual cereal.

I love Enjoy Life's cookies (except the No Oats <_< ), and thought about trying this. Now, I think not.... Thanks for saving me the money!

This was the reason I bought the cereal, the cookies were very good. Talk about being totally the opposite!

the first time i bought this cereal it was actually good (berry crunch) the second time i couldn't figure out what happened and thought i got a stale box. the third time i gave up after one spoonful. :(

dally099 Contributor

this is funny, i have an un opened box of the very berry in my cubboard so we'll see i guess, if its not good ill mix it in with my hubbies reall granola and hell eat it, i have a box of the no oats cookies and they are foul :huh: i havent figured out what to do with the box yet, strange cause their other stuff is soooo good, oh well live and learn i guess.

AndreaB Contributor

It does seem as if the products vary greatly doesn't it. We don't like the no oats cookies either.

On the cereal, we've had some that were softer and some that were harder. I still like the cinnamon crunch the best. My kids eat all the flavors and like it. The last boxes I've bought have been softer.

I about broke a tooth on them <_<

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies.  It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.   Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis?  Was your tTg IgA level very high?  These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients.   Are you eating processed gluten free food stuffs?  Have you looked into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse.  Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain.  Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders? A cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12442269/   Nutritional Strategies for Chronic Craniofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders: Current Clinical and Preclinical Insights https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11397166/   Serum nutrient deficiencies in the patient with complex temporomandibular joint problems https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2446412/

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
