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!!!

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
