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.

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.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      My sebaceous hyperplasia and thrush disappeared when I stopped all dairy.

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor.  I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.

      You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate or histamine intolerance. The instant burning, heart palpitations, and anxiety you describe are classic systemic reactions to food chemicals, not typical celiac reactions. It makes perfect sense that your body rejected these foods from birth; the gagging was likely a neurological reflex to a perceived toxin. Now that your gut has healed, you're feeling the inflammatory response internally instead. The path forward involves targeted elimination: try cooking fruits and vegetables (which often breaks down the problematic proteins/chemicals), focus on low-histamine and low-salicylate options (e.g., peeled pears, zucchini), and consider working with an allergist or dietitian specializing in food chemical intolerances.
