Enjoy Life Products?

Has anyone tried any of the Enjoy Life products? I was thinking of trying some of the bagels (specifically the blueberry and onion ones) and maybe the cookies and granola cereal (to add to yogurt).

I'd rather get some opinions before I waste more money on stuff that tastes like dirt.

Thanks in advance.

My store just started carrying their stuff and I was very excited to see a new brand. I tried the snack bars, very berry and cocoa loco and they are ok. They aren't all fluffy and big like the box shows. It was actually kind of disappointing, but they don't taste bad. They are nothing to write home about however. So, I would just say they are ok.

I also ate their snickerdoodle cookies. They are absolutely tiny! About the size of a quarter. But they taste pretty good and I found myself becoming addicited to them. :P

I think the soft chewy chocolate chip cookies are pretty good....I can eat all of them at once. :D

Not hard to do though....since they're not much bigger than a quarter. :huh:

Hmmm....Which ones are these? Are snickerdoodles the same as chewy chocolate chip cookies or does Enjoy Life just make *all* of their cookies quarter size? I'm looking for BIGGER cookies.

the cookies are small, as Ab said, but good. i really like the choc chip and the snickerdoodle too. i do like their bars for a morning snack too. i have not had their bread yet. i appreciate the brand b/c they are free of all the top 8 allergens. and they are one of the first companies (1 of 2) to sign onto the new GFCO (gluten standard testing) by GIG. :)

I like some of their cereals.

I have not tried the onion bagels but have tried the blueberry and cinnamon raisin. I thought they were ok...I can definitely eat them but they are not like great or anything. The blueberry one has very good flavor too it...the first time I made it too hard so it wasn't good but the second time I made it a little bit softer and it tasted better that time around.

That's such a hard question to answer, since people's tastes vary SOOO much. The products don't taste like regular wheat ones - they taste like they're made with gluten-free flours. But if you've been on the diet long enough to have gotten used to that, then you might find them alright. I've had the granola, the bars, and the blueberry bagels. To me, they were all alright, but had enought of a gluten-free taste that I wouldn't eat them terribly regularly. Definitely worth getting on occasion, and out of all of them, I think my favorite would be the blueberry bagels.

I really like the cereals, I like the hard cruchy bars but don't care for the gooy other bars (the ones you can buy online), and I like their very small cookies. Nice for a just a taste of something sweet which is about all I can eat anyway, 2 do me nicely.

I think once you don't have a lot of stuff, this stuff starts to taste much better. I think they also make my soy/dairy free chocolate chips that I love!!!

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
