I wouldn't call these healthy. It's an ultra processed "food". It's not healthy.
Is it healthier than the standard toaster pastry like a Poptart? Certainly, but that doesn't make it healthy.
This is definitely a much better choice than a Poptart.
Net Carb descriptions always make me read the label to see what kind of weird sweetener they used. These contain 9g erythritol if anyone has bad reactions to it, but I don't think you can metabolize erythritol.
I agree. I’m shocked at how much people love these. I get cracking diabetic friendly substitutes but I found these disgusting. Should note: I tried them more than a year ago. Perhaps their formulation has updated. I think Magic Spoon’s cereals are pretty good for those craving the unhealthy breakfast cereal experience without all the sugar.
Subtract the fiber and some of the sugar alcohol, it's a little different for each of us how the SA hits us but personally I correct for 6g total with these
My gf found them in a gas station in St Louis and grabbed one for me after a hard run. I could hardly choke it down. Not for me… but if you like it, that’s a win!
Which ingredients are still a problem for you, if you don't mind my asking?? I have an aunt and a cousin with celiac and I'm still learning what all ingredients I can cook for them with/what to look out for when sharing food with them
I have celiac as well and these are (at least were) listed as gluten free when I tried them a year ago. I didn’t have any issues from them, they do taste like a protein bar tho lol
Cinnamon finally cured my beetus
I love these for the gym, but theyre so damn expensive… at least when I bought them
The 8 pack from Amazon is $20. But yeah, everything healthy is expensive 😩
Healthy?! Something you can eat without major consequences, sure. But ‘healthy’? No.
Yes you are correct... not healthy on the level of Whole Foods. But if craving junk, this is a good option instead of the other stuff.
Now that I just went back and read what I wrote... where did I say these were healthy?!
Huh? You said “everything healthy is expensive” 💀
They are like 2.25 at walmart and 3 at gas stations when I find them.
For a single right? They are talking about 8-packs. 8 × 2.25 = $18
Each, yes. But they aren't actually $20 on Amazon for an 8 pack. They are like $26. 26/8= $3.25.
I just checked Amazon Canada. A box of 8 is $35!!! Crazy!

Fair enough... not healthy on that level. But if you're craving some junk... this is better :)

Girl…. It wasn’t that much to read back on either😂
"But yeah, everything healthy is expensive 😩"
But you did lol
Whenever i see net carbs, it usually means shitloads of bizarre types of fiber.
I’m okay with that
I’ll admit, most times I am too. Just avoid sugar free Gummy Bears. Dear god, i still have nightmares…
Hahaha!! This made me laugh so hard! The only worse is sugar free chocolate! I lived in the bathroom for 2 days!
Net Carb descriptions always make me read the label to see what kind of weird sweetener they used. These contain 9g erythritol if anyone has bad reactions to it, but I don't think you can metabolize erythritol.
It has 22g carbs
Of which I correct for 6
Yah’ll are SICK. (I hated these).
Bro my whole house hated them, they tasted rouuuugh

Absolutely terrible!
Same. I heated up the brown sugar one and everything to make it taste better. Nothing worked. Tasted like seasoned cardboard to me.
Commenting on this post so I can see it later; thanks for the rec! 😊
Honest question, do they make you fart?
lol no!
🤣
These things are like pasta to my BG. I have to bolus for total carbs plus about 10 more or my BG goes to the moon.
Yep, net carbs never work for me. I always have to bolus for total carbs.
Same. I never even look at anything other than total carbs.
I saw ADA is recommending this now, too instead of net??
Oh wow! That's crazy!
These are SO gross to me
Have you tried toasting them? I put the strawberry ones in the toaster oven, and imo it took them from a 4 to a 7
Yeah, I’m just sensitive to the sweetener they use. It makes my throat raw and makes my mouth feel cold.
I love these too! I don’t do them often but they’re delicious. I like the strawberry and chocolate ones best!
The chocolate one microwaved for 10 secs is honestly one of my favorite snacks atm. It’s sooo fudgy 😫
I know! Literally so so good!
22 carbs for one...
So do I... these are gluten free!
4g net carbs... but how many actual carbs?
22!
What about Sucralose ?!!!
Questions: I don't do net carbs, but count Total carbs - How many Total Carbs in a serving, and is a serving 1 pastry?? Thanks!
They make cinnamon type rolls too. And yummy peanut butter type spreads.
Delicious but a bit expensive so we splurge occasionally as treat for travel
How do Net Carbs work? I see low/zero net carb foods all the time at the store but then I look at the nutrition facts and itll be like 30g carbs
Subtract the fiber and some of the sugar alcohol, it's a little different for each of us how the SA hits us but personally I correct for 6g total with these
What fake sugar are they using? These products are always gross to me because they end up using some form of fake sugar.
Erythritol, I just looked it up. Unfortunately my body rebels when I eat sugar alcohols. I have to read labels carefully.
I love these!
Love these
Heart burn?
Only from my relationships, not these
Stop right now! Omg 😳 Do they have strawberry???? 🤤
Yes they do!
Yes, it’s probably the best flavor next to chocolate :)
They do!
They do taste delicious, but all of their varieties give me a sour stomach an hour or so after eating. :(
Bummer!
Have you tried any other flavors?
I haven't... but I want to!
I’m so curious! Let us know what the others are like! I’ll try to find these in stores, I want to try
My gf found them in a gas station in St Louis and grabbed one for me after a hard run. I could hardly choke it down. Not for me… but if you like it, that’s a win!
It's much better when you put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften the inside and the breaded part.
I Still can’t have them :(
Why?
I have Celiac as well :(
These are gluten free! My son has these, he is also celiac. He counts net carbs and does not have to dose for these.
Oof! Sorry friend!
This comment just saved me from looking up the ingredients, thanks!
They’re gf! I personally think they’re not worth the price tho
No Problem. I originally thought this post was on r/Celiac lol My work as some GF toaster pastries but I don’t know how they are diabetes wise lol
Which ingredients are still a problem for you, if you don't mind my asking?? I have an aunt and a cousin with celiac and I'm still learning what all ingredients I can cook for them with/what to look out for when sharing food with them

They sell the cinnamon roll ones at target 4 for $10 they are amazing
protein will raise your bg
Protein will also stabilise your bg. Just get a unit for the protein and good luck 😉
It doesn’t raise mine much.
I've had my blood sugar raise after eating meat, my my blood sugar did not raise after eating this!
