There is nothing particularly unhealthy from a strictly nutritional point of view, although some of the ingredients definitely raise an eyebrow.

No colours or preservatives, Source of fibre, Source of Calcium, Magnesium and Iron, Suitable for vegetariansTo 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. But the amount of these beneficial nutrients is not that much and won’t make much difference to your health. Can Belvita biscuits help you lose weight? I’m pretty sure not many people are enjoying that every morning. I hate to say it but even though they are not the worst thing to eat nutritionally, I still think that these biscuits are targeted at the kind of people that buy their breakfasts from a petrol station.

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. I wouldn’t be surprised if you already have formed an opinion about BelVita breakfast biscuits before reading this review. The marketing claims state that Belvita Breakfast Biscuits provide 4 hours of nutritious steady energy but many people see these products as processed junk that are designed for people who buy their breakfast from petrol stations. Since Belvita soft bakes come in different flavours there syns can vary slightly, but on average their soft bakes have around 10 syns per bake which is quite high, taking up the majority of your syn allowance. While the glycemic index value of 45 may be low, there are still more low-carb-friendly options available. If you are following a low-carb diet, whether for health reasons or because you are trying to avoid the subcutaneous water retention caused by carbs, you may prefer less starchy, calorically dense choices. 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.At 9 syns for a 50g serving, Belvita strawberry biscuits are extremely high in syns and take the majority of your 15 syn daily allowances. This is down to the high sugar and carb content inside of the biscuits which increase the calories and therefore the syns.
