Belvita Soft Bakes Choc Chips, 250g

Product Information

I definitely wouldn’t feed them to kids. Again, not necessarily due to the nutritional values but more because of the nutritional concepts. The short answer to this is no. Weight loss involves much more than just swapping some breakfast biscuits into your diet.

On the plus side, Belvita breakfast biscuits do contain some minerals, vitamins and fibre which are all beneficial for your body so at least you will get something good out of them. accordance with the regulations in force, like all other dry biscuits on your market.. 5 Whole Grains. Natural source of fibre. Source of magnesium, calcium and iron. No colours or preservatives. Suitable for vegetarians. belVita. Light - Have a job that involves long periods of sitting (office-based / driving) or are home-based and sitting for much of the day. Typical jobs: office worker, sales rep, bus/taxi/lorry driver.There are slight variations in the ingredients across the different BelVita products with the range including Crunchy, Soft Baked, Duo Crunch, etc. Would I eat them or serve them to my family? Nope. Not necessarily because they are unhealthy but more because there are better options out there. Looking at the table above, you can see that Belvita Soft Bakes Strawberry are the best option since they are the lowest in calories (per 100g) and not as high in sugar as some other types of Belvita biscuits.

But nutrition is more than just a number’s game. It is about taste, pleasure and choosing to eat in a way that fits with the life you want to lead and the goals you want to achieve. Having said that, I spend a lot of my time working with clients who are concerned about pre-diabetes. Their needs and their eating habits are different. At belVita, we bake delicious biscuits respecting what nature gives us: the natural strength of wholegrains. Our delicious and nutritious biscuits are made with 5 different wholegrains - wheat, oats, barley rye and spelt and are baked to preserve the delicious taste of our selected ingredients.If they are used to highly processed, sugary breakfasts and they liked these biscuits and wanted to swap to these instead then that would be an improvement. In terms of ingredients and nutritional profile, they are very similar, however, if you start drifting into the Duo Crunch Chocolate Hazelnut range then the calories do bump up a touch and so does sugar content. Now for the big question. Do they taste any good? Let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter if they are the greatest nutritional “superfood” ever invented but if they taste awful then it’s all irrelevant. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

Here is a nutritional breakdown for different types of Belvita biscuits ( the values are per 100g): Belvita biscuit type Moderately active - Do light to moderate intensity exercise 3-4 times a week. E.g. going to the gym / swimming / cycling / horse riding / dance classes / playing golf. Daily dog walking (brisk pace, twice a day). Well, they don’t taste awful. They do have quite an artificial flavour and the texture tells you that there are whole grains and fibre is present but they are ok to eat. I would have to say yes, these could be enjoyed as part of a healthy lifestyle… but then again, so can Dairy Milk and Mr Kipling Cherry Bakewells. To be honest, I definitely had a preconceived opinion about BelVita. The idea of biscuits for breakfast just doesn’t seem right at first, especially in a world dominated by food fixations. They are processed, have a huge list of ingredients and, well, they have the word biscuit in the title. Biscuits aren’t breakfast food, are they? Or are they? Time for a closer look to see what the nutritional claims are, what the reality is and try to work out if they are healthy or not.Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity). Spend majority of leisure time doing activities such as watching TV, playing computer games, on the internet, reading, cooking, driving, general household chores. Hell, you don’t even have to put these in a bowl and pour milk on them! But nutrition should not be sacrificed for convenience, at least not at the start of every day. Let’s not plant the seed that biscuits are ok for breakfast because before long you know that you a going to end up with a breakfast table argument about why we shouldn’t eat chocolate hobnobs for breakfast! There would be further room for improvement away from these biscuits but it would be a step in the right direction.
