I’ve been out of town for the past two weeks and just missed my Medifast order. I had to come up with some creative solutions for running out of Medifast, but I will save that for another post. Needless to say, I was happy to get back home and find my order waiting for me. I’ve been eager to try out the Medifast pretzels since they were first announced and they were the first food I tried.
The Medifast Pretzel Sticks come in two flavors: Cinnamon and Honey Mustard. Since this was my first meal of the day, I decided to go for Cinnamon. As you can tell by the photo, these are indeed little pretzel sticks like you would buy at the grocery store. However, the texture is quite a bit different. They don’t have the smooth glossy surface of traditional pretzels. And they aren’t covered in salt crystals. They’re like “naked” pretzels. I think this texture actually helps the flavoring adhere to the surface.
And speaking of the flavor – it’s sweet, cinnamon-y and with a distinct buttery component. Maybe it’s because I was eating them for breakfast, but the flavor reminded me of cinnamon toast. Overall, I have to say I like them a lot. If you’re just looking for a traditional pretzel substitute, you might be a little disappointed. But I’m excited to have another crunchy Medifast food to add to my regular routine.

Hi Chris, I have just tried the Cinnamon pretzels and I’d have to say that after the initial shock of ‘Pretzels don’t taste like this, wait, has there been some sort of mix up’ I found them quite delicious, and as you said, having something crunchy certainly makes a nice change.
Hey Scott, thanks for stopping by and thanks for your comment! Have you tried the Honey Mustard pretzels yet?
No problem Chris, I am getting them with next weeks shipment, I can let you know what I think of them then if you would like. Another medifast product I have recently tried for the first time is the Chili nacho cheese puffs which are awesome, probably the tastiest product they have.
Scott – Would definitely like to hear your thoughts about the honey mustard pretzels! I screwed up on my order and didn’t get any Chili Nacho Cheese Puffs, but that will be remedied soon. I’ve heard nothing but raves about them.
Hey Chris,
I wanted to let you know that the Honey Mustard Pretzels are really GOOD… Reminiscent of the real McCoy …. I just re-ordered another box for my second shipment! I haven’t tried the Cinnamon flavored ones. nor the Chili Nacho Cheese Puffs but do have the Nacho Puffs included on this next shipment too.. Can’t wait to try them myself!

I tried to the pretzels (both the cinnamon and the honey mustard and after the first few bites, I could not eat more. The after taste is just too strong. I would recommend dieters to buy one box before committing.
I tried them on day 2 on medifast and become very discouraged because they were so –not good and I had to force myself to eat them and the parm. puffs. Are these better the second go round?
Sorry to hear you didn't like them. I liked them pretty much right away!
Sorry to hear you didn't like them! If anybody has any extra boxes of pretzels, feel free to send them my way!
I love the Honey Mustard pretzels! They are so good. I am going to try the cinnamon ones next!
I did not like the Medifast honey mustard pretzels at all. The flavor was good but the pretzle part was stale tasting and feeling. I ate the first bag and then the second was so aweful I could not finish. I like many of the other products, but because of the bad pretzels, I will not be trying the cinnamon.
Wow. I am eating my first bag of the Cinnamon pretzel sticks. They are nasty!!! I am like forcing myself to eat them. And of course I bought 2 boxes of them hoping they would taste like cinnamon but I don’t taste much sweet cinnamon just a stale yucky taste of soy in stick form. I also didn’t like the Parm Puffs… didn’t taste cheesy at all. Just tasted like a soy ball.
Sorry to hear you didn’t like the cinnamon pretzel sticks. Feel free to send them to me if they need a good home!
