You know when you are eating your fourth tofu salad of the day for the eighteenth day in a row of this hell we call "diet before bikini season?" And on the salad there is a slab of stupidly healthy tofu that when you bite into it, you close your eyes and tell yourself it's actually a piece of chocolate cake?
Wait, am I the only one who does that?
SoyJoy Bars are something like that.
The bars are not necessarily for dieters, but are a very modest 130 calories of soy nutrition. They come in a wide variety of flavors, all of which I tried.
My Slashfoodie friends, I'm not going to lie to you. I almost couldn't choke down the hard, dry first bite of the Strawberry bar, let alone finish the almost powdery and strangely chewy-hard textured brick. I was almost tempted to give the entire bag of the rest of the flavors away to, oh, I don't know, friends who also eat Power Bars (which clearly means they are not in it for the taste). However, i had to tell myself to give the SoyJoy bars a second chance.
The second try was better, and on the third bar (I was on the Raisin Almond flavor by now), I had convinced myself that if I thought SoyJoy bars were more of a brick-like biscotti that was meant for dunking in a glass of vanilla soy milk rather than a "granola" bar, they weren't all that bad.
I wouldn't buy these on my own, but hell, at least I won't be throwing away the half bag in my pantry!
