Belvita breakfast biscuits

[notafanofsugar]

Just had a quick bite to eat of these Belvita breakfast biscuits as I was feeling quite hungry and they have whole grains in them - was looking at how many calories they had in too and stumbled upon this review from a lady with type 1 so I thought I'd share it:

I think Kraft are on to a winner with these. Designed for heavy drinkers and people who buy their breakfast from petrol stations.

That's pretty much everybody. :mrgreen:

I used to take these to work for my 'eleven o'clock' snack, when my colleagues would be eating biscuits, check the sugar content some are lower than others.

A word of caution about how healthy these biscuits really are, did you know they contain 64% carbohydrate of which 25% is sugar!!!

I avoid processed food as much as possible, preferring to cook or bake from scratch, but admit that Breakfast bars/Breakfast biscuits have been the only thing I can stomach first thing in the mornings (for many years).

The new Kellogg's NUTRI-GRAIN Breakfast Biscuits are the lowest Carbs/Sugars breakfast bar I have found so far... even beating the Nairn's Oat biscuits I usually used to have!

I am now having a couple of these new Nutri-grain Breakfast Biscuits with a handful of almonds/nuts each morning.. the nuts seems to balance out the BG reading a bit better when having this "biscuit" kind of breakfast.

p.s. I have NO affiliation to Kellogg's.

Sainsbury's digestive biscuits to curb need for biscuit - I am talking ine occasionally slthough low is sugar does have carbs!
