You Need To Check Out Enjoy Life Foods’ New Breakfast Ovals

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Bucknell chapter.

For those of us who suffer from severe food allergies, we know it’s hard to find some granola bars to grab on the way out the door heading to class. I usually gravitate to the same brands when I’m shopping for my snacks, which is why as soon as I saw one of my my favorite allergen friendly companies releasing a brand new product I was super excited. Enjoy Life Foods breakfast ovals are a total breakfast game changer. 

Enjoy Life Foods is a company free from the top 14 food allergens (soy, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, and eggs to name a few) and supplies all over the United States. You can find their products in the store by looking for the bright teal boxes, the color for food allergy awareness. 

The company’s new product, Breakfast Ovals,  are set to go live on their website in November and hit the shelves in January, but thankfully I got to try them before their official release. There are currently only 4 flavors available: Maple Fig, Apple Cinnamon, Berry Medley, and Chocolate Chip Banana.

Maple Fig

The first flavor I thought to try once I received my order was the maple fig. I always loved the flavor of maple in everything from maple cookies to maple syrup on hot pancakes. So it was definitely a nostalgic for me when I took a bite out of the soft baked treat. This flavor was really good, but I can definitely only eat it on mornings when I’m craving something sweet. I rated this one a 7 out of 10.

This next flavor is a definite classic. You can never go wrong with crisp apple and sweet cinnamon put together. This one is not as sweet as the Maple Fig so you can eat it on any morning, whether or not your sweet tooth is acting up. I would give this flavor a 7.8 out of 10. 

Berry Medley

Berry medley is the flavor that makes me think about the idea of breakfast the most. With grains and chunks of different berries it reminds me of breakfast with my brother eating brown sugar oatmeal with raspberries and fresh strawberries laid on top. This one is hands down my favorite flavor of the bunch, which leads me to rating this a 9 out of 10. 

Chocolate Chip Banana

Another sweet flavor, chocolate chip banana makes me feel like I am taking a bite out of a stack of banana chip pancakes at my favorite brunch spot with my best friends. But the same as the maple fig, this flavor is more of a sweet tooth morning than any regular day heading to class. I gave this flavor a solid 8 out of 10. 

All in all, I really enjoyed trying each of the flavors the line currently has and it has me looking forward to the official release of the products on the shelves in January. It is definitely a game changer in my morning routine of trying to get in a quick bite on the way to my morning classes that still has everything I need for a well balanced breakfast.

As a major foodie, living with many severe food allergies can make it hard to try all the funky foods I see online. So I decided to pick up an apron and became my own allergen friendly cook!
