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!!!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
