Genisoy bills itself as “the #1 soy company in the US.”\u00a0 Certainly it’s one of the most visible: Genisoy products are mainstreamed into grocery stores throughout the country.\u00a0 The product line is diverse, and divided between shakes\/protein powders, snacks (chips, crisps, soynuts\/trail mix) and bars.\u00a0 The bars come if four varieties: Ultra, Protein Crunch, Organic and Regular.\u00a0 There six flavors of the latter: Cookies and Cream, Creamy Peanut Yogurt, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Crispy Chocolate Mint, Chunky Peanut Butter Fudge and Cafe Mocha Fudge.<\/p>\n

Each bar contains 12.5 g soy protein per serving; half of the 25 g\/day of soy protein determined to reduce cholesterol and cardiovascular disease risk.<\/p>\n The bars proved to be flat, dense and chewy.\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0thought they were\u00a0pretty good, for the most part.\u00a0 I liked the Chocolate Fudge Brownie bar; and the Crispy Chocolate Mint tasted just like a chewy, bar version of a York Peppermint Patty.\u00a0 On the other hand, the Chunky Peanut Butter Fudge tasted sweet, but odd – and not the least bit “peanutty.”<\/p>\n So two out of three…not bad, overall.<\/p>\n Each bar supplies small, but significant amounts of\u00a0the major\u00a0vitamins and minerals, as well as 14 – 15 g total protein.\u00a0 Although not specifically low cal or low sugar,\u00a0Genisoy bars contain considerably less fat and sugar than most candy bars.\u00a0 For example, for roughly the same number of cals, a (2.2 oz) Genisoy bar supplies 6 – 7 g fat and 18 – 19 g sugar, whereas a (2.1 oz) Milky Way has 10 g fat and 35 g sugar…quite a difference.<\/p>\n While I wouldn’t make a habit out of eating Genisoy bars (there are better ways to get soy protein, if desired), they could certainly be used on occasion\u00a0to satisfy a sweet tooth, or as an\u00a0on-the-go snack.<\/p>\n [usrlist “Taste:3.5” “Quality:3.5” “Efficacy:3.5” “Value:4.0″ avg=”true”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Genisoy bills itself as “the #1 soy company in the US.”\u00a0 Certainly it’s one of the most visible: Genisoy products are mainstreamed into grocery stores throughout the country.\u00a0 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,7,1],"tags":[40,98,220,252],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":429,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313\/revisions\/429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n\n
