preview_berry_bar.jpgI was totally sucked in by the cheerful advertisements and colorful packaging, score one for marketing. Armed with my buy one, get one free coupon, I checked both of my local Publix supermarkets for the product, but it wasn’t available yet. My mom found them in Walgreens. I was surprised when she told me they cost $1.29 each, and even more surprised when I tore open the package to find a snack bar half the size as I expected.

The 1.06-ounce bar has the texture of a fruit cake, but it delivers on taste. However, this tiny bar packs 130 calories, 2 grams of saturated fat, 17 grams of carbs and 12 grams of sugar. It will satisfy your hunger for a few hours, but I’d rather buy a box of Nature Valley Peanut Butter Granola Bars. For the price of two SoyJoy bars, I can get a pack of 6 granola bars with two bars in each package.

Try it, but only when you come across a buy one, get one free coupon, or the site offers them for free again. SoyJoy comes in four varieties: berry, raisin almond, mango coconut, and apple. I tried the berry and apple, and I liked them both.
