Enjoy Life Granola

I know there have been a lot of people who have commented in past threads about how the Enjoy Life Granola is basically inedible because it is rock hard and impossible to chew. Well I thought everyone might want to know that they've reformulated their recipe, and now it is soooooo much better! The consistency is more like that of regular granola and it is so easy to chew! It makes me so happy to be able to eat it without fearing that I'll break a tooth :lol:

If anybody decides to try it again, just beware that they've only just made the switch, so only the bags that say "new and improved recipe" with a 55 cent coupon attached to them are the new ones, all the rest are still the rock solid kind.

For anybody who hated it before, I would definitely consider giving it a second chance now!

This is good to hear I am one of the weirdo's who actually really liked the old version of the granola. However I bought a bag of the new formulated cereal and nearly broke a tooth. I mean it was harder than the original so hopefully I just got a fluke bag of the new recipe! I will try it again

Thanks for posting. I'm going to try it again. I bought one or two bags of it, and had to have my jaw realigned both times!! LOL :lol:

Seriously, I didn't find it to be very palatable. I'll give it another shot though.

Is it for all the granolas? The recipe seems to be the same online.

Ooh--thanks for posting this! I've held off buying the granola because of the reports of it being so hard. I'll look for the new packages :D

There is one by Bakery on Main that is really good. It has a lot of nuts and corn flakes. There is a cranberry one that is DANK!

Yeah - it is for all granolas. I don't know why they haven't posted anything about it online but I e-mailed the company and they verified that they changed the recipe and soon all the stores will be selling the new kind. I guess they're just behind on their web update :D

That's funny - I'm eating the Enjoy Life new and improved... Very Berry Crunch while I was reading this. It's pretty good. Doesn't seem too hard, though I didn't try the previous version of it. Very high in carbs though...

The new version is definitely better - much more like 'real' granola. But it's still too sweet. :/

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
