Product Features
According to the Soyjoy website, each Soyjoy bar contains 4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. The calories for each bar tend to fall between 130 and 140 calories each. The bars contain all natural ingredients and no hydrogenated oils. While the bar is a sound choice for nutrition, there are mixed reviews regarding the taste of the Soyjoy bars. Some consumers believe the bar tastes more like an animal treat than a human food and this can turn off the consumer when buying a healthy snack.
A dietician works with the Soyjoy website to promote the benefits of soy and while there are real health benefits from eating this natural protein, there is little evidence that soy helps the dieter lose weight.
Advantages
- Soyjoy bars are inexpensive.
- The product is all natural and a good source of protein.
- There is an official website for Soyjoy with dietician support.
Disadvantages
- Soyjoy does not taste very good.
- The number of calories per bar versus the size of the bar could put off some consumers.
- Soy is healthy, but is not the best option for weight loss.
Conclusion
There is little doubt that eating a Soyjoy bar is better than grabbing a handful of a sugary snack in the afternoons. The marketing for the product is flawless, but that does not make the bars taste any better or help the consumer lose more weight.
