Enjoy Life’s products include gluten-free bagels, breads, cereals, snack bars, cookies and even a "no-oat" oatmeal. All of their products are not only gluten-free but also free of the 8 most common allergens: wheat, dairy, peanuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish. Their products are made in a dedicated gluten-free and nut free bakery.

This month we tested Enjoy Life’s Original Sandwich Bread, Rye-less "Rye" Bread, Toasty Onion Bagels, Cinnamon Raisin Bagels, and Classic Original Bagels. All in all we found these products to be a great choice for those with multiple intolerances.

Original Sandwich Bread

For those on an allergen free diet this sandwich bread is a good option. It doesn’t have the gritty texture of many prepared gf breads, but still is heavy and kind of dense.

Score: 3

We felt that it was necessary to toast the bread first. Toasting the bread lightens the texture some and brings out a better flavor in the bread.

Score: 3

Store these breads in the freezer to keep them fresh.

Score: 5

Enjoy Life has good distribution into many stores. You can find their products at many Whole Foods, at a lot of smaller natural food stores and on-line at the Gluten-Free Mall (www.glutenfreemall.com)

Score: 5

Rye-Less "Rye" Bread

We really liked the taste of this bread. The caraway seed really pops out in flavor and makes this a tasty bread all around.

Score: 4

Again, we felt this bread improved dramatically when toasted. This is a great bread for toasted sandwiches, or even to compliment eggs at breakfast.

Score: 4

Store these breads in the freezer to keep them fresh.

Score: 5

Toasty Onion Bagels

If you like toasted onion bagels then you will like the flavor of these bagels as well. Not too overpowering but just a nice all around flavor.

Score: 4

We thought the bagels were a little dense and chewy — not exactly like the gluten version, but for those who cannot have not only gluten, but other common allergens this bagel is a great alternative. Make sure you toast these first for better flavor.

Score: 2

Store these breads in the freezer to keep them fresh.

Score: 5

Classic Original Bagels

These were our least favorite bagels as far as flavor and texture. We found that without the added flavorings such as in the Cinnamon Raisin and the Toasty Onion that you were focused more on the texture of the bagel than the taste.

Score: 2

Again the texture was very dense and chewy. We felt that it was absolutely necessary to toast these before eating.

Score: 2

Store these breads in the freezer to keep them fresh.

Score: 5

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

We liked the flavor of these bagels, especially when toasted. After toasting the raisins seem to plump up and the cinnamon jumps out at you with each bite.

Score: 4

These bagels were again very dense and chewy, but the flavor makes up for some of the texture.

Score: 2

Store these breads in the freezer to keep them fresh.

Overall Score (4.0)

Overall we found these products to be a very good choice for those with multiple intolerances. Besides the fact that these products don’t contain any of the common allergens, Enjoy Life is very dedicated to utilizing ingredients that are good for you. Their products don’t contain any artificial ingredients, they are high in fiber, high in omega-3’s, and packed with vitamins and minerals.
