Belvita Soft Bakes Choc Chips, 250g

Product Information

Let’s start with the ingredients. Alarm bells start ringing when you look at the ingredients list of Belvita biscuits. I tried the Milk and Cereals biscuit with around 20 ingredients in it. 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.

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 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.So, are there any health benefits to be gained from eating BelVita biscuits? Annoyingly, as with most answers in the world of nutrition, the answer here is “ it depends”. It depends on where you are now and what you are trying to achieve. I definitely wouldn’t feed them to kids. Again, not necessarily due to the nutritional values but more because of the nutritional concepts. There would be further room for improvement away from these biscuits but it would be a step in the right direction. 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. 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.

The short answer to this is no. Weight loss involves much more than just swapping some breakfast biscuits into your diet. 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.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.

There is a huge range of lower syn bakes to choose from as an alternative to Belvita soft bakes, we have listed them down below to help you out.

No colours or preservatives, Source of fibre, Source of Calcium, Magnesium and Iron, Suitable for vegetariansThe bottom line is, if you care about your health you wouldn’t want to eat these biscuits every day but having them as an occasional treat as part of a healthy and balanced diet is totally acceptable. 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! 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. There are slight variations in the ingredients across the different BelVita products with the range including Crunchy, Soft Baked, Duo Crunch, etc.

In terms of nutritional profile, the Milk and Cereal biscuits weighed in with the following numbers (the basis is a single serving of 4 biscuits (45g) with using a nutritional reference value (NRV) intake of an average adult consuming 2,000 calories per day): Neil Welsh is a nutrition coach who specialises in working with clients who are concerned about prediabetes.

No colours or preservatives. Suitable for vegetarians. Belvita.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. 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.
