During BlogHer I was introduced to SOYJOY. I was fortunate to attend a breakfast talk with some fabulous food (some of which was indeed made with soy) and excellent speakers who explained some of the ways we could eat healthfully with our family. And, of course, they let us know the benefits of soy, while also speaking to some of the concerns we've heard in the media about soy products. It was a great event, and I was happy to come away with a sample of their new and improved SOYJOY bars. I received banana.
Well, when I heard that Mom Central was looking for folks to spread the word about the new SOYJOY flavors and encourage entry into their Second Chances Contest, I jumped at what would be my second chance to try SOYJOY.
I have now tried three SOYJOY flavors: blueberry, banana, and strawberry. I love all three, so would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite. All of them definitely have a baked consistency - they aren't oily or slippery in any way. They are not too dense, as sometimes happens with nutrition bars. And most importantly, they are tasty! Plus, they are only 130 (banana and strawberry) and 140 (blueberry) calories, all without trans fats.
I love that SOYJOY bars are just the right size for a snack, and I know I'm giving my body things it actually needs, unlike those neon orange sticks that I adore but know my body doesn't.
Well, SOYJOY has made a great second impression with their new bars - but what about you?
In celebration of the new SOYJOY and in the spirit of second chances, SOYJOY is hosting the Second Chances Contest. You can enter to win one of three $1,000 prizes by briefly telling your personal story about a time you did not make the best first impression but, with a second chance, turned it into a joyous ending!

Good luck - both with satisfying your snacking with SOYJOY and with perhaps winning $1000!

Mom Central will also send me a gift card upon verification that I posted to thank me for taking the time to participate. Yum!
