Happy Friday! The short week really flew by. I can’t believe the weekend is already back. Although weekends aren’t really the breaks from work they used to be. One of the very best things about my job is the flexibility. I don’t have set hours. Sometimes (rarely) I work the typical 8-5. Other days my schedule might be more “do some work from home in the morning and then go in from 1-8.” And I often find myself putting in time on the weekends since that’s when special events tend to be and I like to make an appearance in our crowded Saturday and Sunday CrossFit classes. It’s also usually the only time I can fit in all the errands I need to run for work.
Honestly, I feel like I’m always “on and available” as we do a ton of our staff communication via e-mail and text. The flexibility that my job offers makes it all 100% worth it though…along with the fact that I can bring Sullie to work with me! 😉
I’m not really sure how I got on that tangent but let’s start the real post now!
Remember how I mentioned that I was baking the Paula Deen Applesauce bundt cake? Well, I can’t stop eating it. Apple spice cakes are one of my favorite fall staples and I love that I can make this breakfast or dessert! I inhaled a piece this morning at 6 a.m. before heading to my favorite Friday morning hot yoga class. Nothing like some Paula Deen sugar-filled cake to fuel you through practice!
I balanced it out with brunch at Flying Biscuit. It was such a treat to take a break from work and catch up with my friends. I ordered the Hollywood Omelet which features egg whites, spinach, mushrooms and white cheddar and is topped with a tomato coulis. I had fruit and a whole wheat biscuit on the side. Of course I topped the biscuit with a healthy dose of their amazing apple butter.
Have a wonderful weekend! (And Go Dawgs!!!)
oooh apple walnut!
Definitely the coconut mango one!
I’m torn between Blueberry and Coconut Mango! :p
LOVE Soyjoy!! The coconut mango flavor is my favorite!

I would loveeee to try the apple walnut… being at college it is hard to find snacks that are natural and not filled with all kinds of chemicals! with it being officially fall I have been craving some good apple crisp recently. I would love to try the apple walnut flavor and fulfill my apple craving!!
I love blueberry so that would be my first pick!!
I’ve tried soyjoy before and LOVED it! I have not tried the blueberry, and so that would be the first one I would like to try! I would bring these on a group hike we have planned in the White Mountains in New Hampshire! I hope to win, good luck to everyone!
YUM! the mango coconut sounds delicious…as do a lot of the flavors. I’m hoping to get at least one more (beach?!) picnic in in the next weeks or so…it’s still technically summer until Sept. 21!!
Blueberry 🙂
Apple walnut!
I would love the grift pack! I have 5 children and we are always on the go. The cooler, blanket and soy joy bars would come in handy!
Berry or strawberry!
Apple walnut and the mango coconut sound amazing!!
How to choose? I want to try them all, but the berry, blueberry, and mango coconut sound the best to me.
Thanks for the chance to win!
My family and I are starting a new health journey together. I would love to win this so I could expose my children to good tasting and good for you snacks. The cooler looks perfect to pack water bottles and healthy snacks for an outdoor family fun day.
I would definitely try the blueberry first, but they all sound delicious! Thanks for the opportunity!
Apple walnut! Yum! I would enjoy it watching my 2 year old son playing outside in the great summer weather
I just started eating gluten free about a month ago – great to hear about another snack option! The coconut mango sounds perfect! And thanks to all of your posts, I’ve now finished my second week of hot yoga (or any yoga!) ever!
Definitely want to try apple walnut!
I want to try them all! they all look so yummy and delicious. Apple walnut is definitely standing out though!
I really want to try the apple walnut- preferably while sitting on that blanket tailgating a football game!

I would LOVE to try the apple walnut flavor! I’ve actually never had a soyjoy bar before… crazy, I know. Thanks for a sweet giveaway PBR
Sweet! I see a bar with bananas on the wrapper! I would loveeeee to try that one! 🙂
Would love to try the blueberry flavor but all look very yummy!!!
Strawberry! I feel like soyjoy disappeared for awhile – glad to see it’s back 🙂
I have tasted a few Soy Joy flavors in the past, but have never sampled Coconut Mango. It sounds delicious, and a good send-off to summer in itself!
I would love to try the strawberry one!! Strawberry has always been my favorite flavor 🙂
I really want to try the mango! Yumm! Plus, I would use soyjoy to fuel a few more long runs in the lovely sunshine before the sky turns to fall grey! Have you linked a recipe to the cake? I’d like to try that too 🙂
Blueberry all the way! Yum!
Yum! All the flavors sounds delish but a couple of them definitely remind me of summer time moreso like mango coconut, pineapple, blueberry, and strawberry. I am also a big fan of anything apple so apple walnut sounds great to me and it reminds me that fall is coming soon : )
My vote is for mango coconut!
Definitely would love to try them all! But I’d like the berry, or pineapple, or strawberry.. which is almost half of them! Oops! 😉
I would use the soy joy summer fun pack to help me enjoy the rest of summer after being pregnant for the beginning and then home with a newborn on those super hot days. I feel like the summer has flown by and now that my daughter is 8 weeks I am ready to enjoy summetime right as it ends.
Apple Walnut!!
Yummo blueberry!!!! Yes please!!! 🙂
I’d love some SOYJOY to get me through the grand hiking plans I have this Fall!
I would live to try the banana SOYJOY! Yum!
Apple Walnut. I would pack that stuff up for a last kayaking trip to an island for an end of summer swim.
Blueberry sounds delicious!
Mango coconut sounds great!!
I’m a HUGE fan of coconut AND mango…so what better than to try a combo of both, the mango coconut 🙂 (Although, I have a feeling I would enjoy all of them :))
i think the mango coconut sounds soo good!
The Apple Walnut sounds amazing!!
I’d like to try the berry flavor!!
They all sound great, but I’ll have to go with the berry! I love that they’re made with all-natural ingredients, since I’m trying to reduce the amount of artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, etc., that I eat. Also glad to know that they’re “sturdy,” since it takes quite a hearty bar to survive in my book bag!
Blueberry, it is my faaaav xxx !
I’d love to try mango coconut. I love both of these flavors so the thought of them together in one bar sound amazing!
Also, I think it’s so great you get to bring Sullie to work. I’m a therapist and have seen counseling centers that have therapy dogs. I wish we could do the same at our clinic! Pets are just so calming.
apple walnut or mango coconut!
the blueberry one looks awesome 🙂
I would love to try blueberry!
I travel a ton for work and the strawberry sound like a perfect travel companion!!!
I’d give some to my mom to take to work! Shes a teacher
I’d love to try mango coconut sounds delicious! 🙂
ooh, i’ve been a kick of trying all different kinds of nutrition bars. the mango coconut sounds great!
I would like to try the strawberry or pineapple flavor.
i loveee anything blueberry!
I have never had a soy joy bar, so I want to sample them all! Definitely the blueberry first!
I want to try blueberry!! Sounds yummy!
The apple walnut bar sounds delish–love that it’s sturdy too! I’m notorious for letting luna bars melt in my purse 🙂
I would love to try the berry SOYJOY!!
i have been eying the mango and pineapple! they look really good!
Blueberry here! As a personal trainer, people are always asking me for snack ideas. I’d love to be able to recommend something compact and all natural! As for the pack, my kids are playing soccer this fall. The cooler would be great for carrying water & snacks to their games, and the blanket would be a great place to sit & watch their games!
They all sound amazing but I am eyeing up the blueberry bar!
“Well, I can’t stop eating it. ” :):):)
“Nothing like some Paula Deen sugar-filled cake to fuel you through practice!” SO true!!!
That omelet looks amazing!!!! & yes, relaxed breakfast with good conversation with friends – not many things are better than that!
hmm…they all look delicious. i think i’m most intrigued by the pineapple.
and i’m also envying your breakfast right now. it looks delicious!
Mmm pineapple!
They all look delicious, but I think my favorite would be apple and walnut!
Have a great weekend 🙂
I live in Canada, and we don’t have soyjoy bars up here! I love all things blueberry so I would love to try that one!
I already love the Blueberry but would love to try the Apple!
It would love to try the mango coconut. It looks delicious!
Coconut mango sounds delicious!!
Nom nom nom I’d pick apple walnut because it will taste like fall. The giveaway is perfect for soaking up the last of the warm weather. I recently moved to New York so I’d use it to have a picnic with my girlfriends in Central Park

The coconut mango one sounds delicious! 🙂
I love visiting your blog for the balance it offers. Every time I get dogmatic with my eats I stop by your blog and I am instantly inspired by your healthy/balanced approach to eats. I also think I might need to make a bundt cake. 🙂
Wow, look at all the comments 🙂 I’m always on the hunt for something compact that I can eat early in the morning, and have been thinking of trying out SOYJOY! I think the blueberry may be good, but being the sucker I am for coconut, the Mango Coconut is definitely on the list…
Mango coconut is my personal favorite! Although apple walnut sounds delicious!
Definitely blueberry!
Blueberry all the way! My husband and I just bought PSL’s for the Panthers! So I could definitely put that cooler to work. I always take bars into the game with me to snack on in the 3rd quarter so I am not filling up on nachos!
I would love to try the Apple Walnut flavor. Once fall starts, I can’t get enough apple flavors!
I’m going to Alabama for my cousin’s wedding and this would be perfect… we’re staying at the beach & the snacks would be great for the trip 🙂
I would love to try the Blueberry, they all look great. I would love to have one in my purse each day during the week to help me get thru the hectic schedule of work and picking up and going straight to my girls’ afternoon activities when I am needing a snack! They need a healthy snack too!
I would like to try Apple Walnut! 🙂
I would like to try the mango-coconut flavor. It sounds delicious and is more unique than other bars.
Blueberry! And those bars would be great to stretch summer bathing suit nutrition a liiiiiittle bit longer 🙂
apple walnut!
All of the flavors look amazing! Blueberry would be the first one i open…
the apple walnut sounds great!
I don’t need added to the giveaway (no soy for me) — but had to comment about The Flying Biscuit! I haven’t eaten there since I lived in Charlotte, a brief time in 2010… LOVE their breakfast menu!
I would love to try the apple walnut especially for Fall
Apple walnut for sure-it’s Fall and will be a real yummy lift after working out
Banana or pineapple!
First, I love your blog …especially the recipes! Since I have a wheat sensitivity, I i truly enjoy soy joys.If had to pick…apple walnut is my choice., and if I am picked the cooler and blanket would come in handy as I attend my son’s Varsity soccer games this fall.thanks for blogging/sharing!
I’d like to try them all but I’m thinking apple walnut sounds good! Or blueberry!
Mango coconut!!
I am so excited about this give-a-way! I have only had soyjoy a couple of times and I’ve only been able to try strawberry and blueberry! I can never find them in stores by me!
I’d like to try the banana or blueberry!
My sister and I used to eat these all the time in High School before we would head off to sports and dance classes. My favorite is the Coconut Mango, but I would love to try the blue berry!!
Mmmm… Coconut Mango sounds AMAZING!
I’d love to try apple walnut!!
I’d love to try the Coconut Mango one – have only had the Berry before!

Blueberry! I have always been a blueberry gal….. Need bars to fuel me through my runs!
I would love to try banana! may even have to “dip” it in a side of peanut butter :). I really like that these bars are all-natural because so many these days are filed with artificial sweeteners and other bad things!
Oh yum, I’d love to try the mango coconut!!
Mmm…I love the blueberry Soyjoy, but i”ve never seen the coconut mango at my store, it sounds wonderful!
Oh man, I never knew these were gluten free or else I would’ve tried them ages ago! I’m dying to try the Banana and Mango Coconut. Both sound delicious!
Mango coconut!!
That apple bundt cake you made still looks amazing! I bookmarked your post to save the recipe and I’m so going to have to make it this weekend!
Also, I understand the pro’s of a good bar that the purse gods can’t smush into a wrapped up blob – happens to my soft Kashi bars a lot. 🙂
Whoa, man. Blueberry sounds amazing! So nice of you to share this opportunity with us. I’m a fairly new reader of yours and absolutely love what I’ve read so far 😀
Well since there is no peanut butter, I’m going to say the mango coconut.. plus, it seems the most summery to me to maybe enjoy while wearing my new fun glasses and the soft cooler filled with some beers while tailgating 🙂
I want to try coconut Mango!
Oooh! All the flavors sound yummy! We still have one last beach trip planned, so that cooler (and possibly the blanket) would come in handy 🙂
I’d love to try to Strawberry!
MMmmMm the apple+walnut sounds delish! =)
Blueberry or Pineapple!! Nom, nom, nom 🙂
Blueberry sounds delicious!
Apple walnut for sure!
It’s probably because we had our first cool/fall like morning today but the apple walnut flavor sounds so good right now!
The apple walnut bar sounds delicious!
I just discovered your blog over the weekend, I love it! I’ve been wanting to try Crossfit ever since I ran the Spartan Sprint back in March at the USNWWC, unfortunately I live nowhere near a box 🙁 I’m also considering yoga teacher training this fall, which is what I was actually Googling when I came across your blog 🙂 Love your posts!
Mango coconut. I love bother flavors!
It’s a tie between banana and pineapple!
I want to try banana. Any of these would be great, and I think I need to pick some up at my store, because you said they don’t crumble in your bag, which is exactly what I need when I throw something in my bag for the day.
Such a fun giveaway! I would LOVE to try the mango coconut! I love all things coconut!
They all sound good, but I’d choose blueberry if I had to pick one 🙂
coconut mango…sounds so tropical!
I would have to say the coconut mango. The combination just sounds great and reminds me of a beach or something.
Blueberry girl all the way. 🙂
They all sound good, but if I had to pick one it’d be berry.
apple walnut!! yum 🙂
dying to try the blueberry! gotta love all things blueberry!
The coconut mango sounds delicious! I am pregnant and looking for healthy snacks to get me through the day! (My baby gets pretty upset if I don’t feed her every few hours, lol)!
They are all good but I’d like to give the apple walnut a try.
This would be great for a post-yoga evening picnic on the beach! The apple walnut flavor sounds delectable and perfect for autumn 🙂
Yum! I looove Soy Joy bars!
I’ve tried all the flavors except coconut-mango. I can’t seem to find it at any of the grocery stores I go to!
